Abstract

Women with negative body image engage in less physical activity. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between body image and physical activity in Latinas participating in a lifestyle program. Participants (age 43.8 ± 10.1 years and BMI 30.4 ± 5.2 kg/m²) were enrolled in a 12-month culturally and linguistically adapted, individually tailored, intervention focused on increasing moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA). Longitudinal assessments were conducted on body image dissatisfaction (BID) using the Figure Rating Scale, MVPA using the 7-day PAR interview, and objectively measured body weight. Pre-intervention BID did not significantly predict MVPA change. Participants experienced considerable reduction in BID. Greater MVPA engagement and weight loss were independently related to BID reduction. Acculturation did not moderate these relationships. Body image improved in Latinas participating in a cognitive and behavioral physical activity intervention regardless of weight loss and acculturation level.

拉丁裔女性的身体形象和体育活动。

有负面身体形象的女性从事的体育活动较少。本研究旨在探讨参加生活方式计划的拉美女性的身体形象与体育锻炼之间的关系。参与者（年龄为 43.8 ± 10.1 岁，体重指数为 30.4 ± 5.2 kg/m2）参加了一项为期 12 个月的根据文化和语言进行调整的个人定制干预项目，该项目侧重于增加中等强度到高强度的体育锻炼（MVPA）。采用体形评分量表（Figure Rating Scale）对身体形象不满意度（BID）进行了纵向评估，采用 7 天 PAR 访谈对 MVPA 进行了纵向评估，并对体重进行了客观测量。干预前的 BID 并不能显著预测 MVPA 的变化。参与者的 BID 显著减少。更多的 MVPA 参与和体重减轻与 BID 的减少有独立的关系。文化程度并不影响这些关系。参与认知和行为体育锻炼干预的拉丁裔女性的身体形象有所改善，与体重减轻和文化程度无关。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Behavioral Medicine is a broadly conceived interdisciplinary publication devoted to furthering understanding of physical health and illness through the knowledge, methods, and techniques of behavioral science. A significant function of the journal is the application of this knowledge to prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation and to the promotion of health at the individual, community, and population levels.The content of the journal spans all areas of basic and applied behavioral medicine research, conducted in and informed by all related disciplines including but not limited to: psychology, medicine, the public health sciences, sociology, anthropology, health economics, nursing, and biostatistics. Topics welcomed include but are not limited to: prevention of disease and health promotion; the effects of psychological stress on physical and psychological functioning; sociocultural influences on health and illness; adherence to medical regimens; the study of health related behaviors including tobacco use, substance use, sexual behavior, physical activity, and obesity; health services research; and behavioral factors in the prevention and treatment of somatic disorders. Reports of interdisciplinary approaches to research are particularly welcomed.
