Resumen

La presión social para alcanzar un determinado estándar corporal es perjudicial para el bienestar y puede provocar angustia psicológica en las adolescentes. Este estudio investigó la autoestima, el comportamiento alimentario, la edad y el índice de masa corporal como predictores de apreciación corporal en 222 niñas brasileñas ( M = 11,60, DT = 1,63), que respondieron a la Body Appreciation Scale , Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale y Children’s Eating Attitudes Test . En el análisis de regresión lineal jerárquica, la autoestima, el índice de masa corporal y la edad representaron 52% de la varianza en la apreciación corporal y la autoestima resultó ser el mayor predictor. Se observó que cuanto mayor era la edad y el índice de masa corporal, menor la apreciación corporal. Chicas que tenían menos apreciación corporal tenían actitudes alimentarias disfuncionales. Este estudio aporta nuevos hallazgos sobre la apreciación del cuerpo en las niñas brasileñas, especialmente que la apreciación del cuerpo tiende a disminuir durante el período de transición de la infancia a la adolescencia.
