Abstract

Body image dissatisfaction shapes well-being across the life course. This study examines associations between parent-reported childhood experiences-adverse (ACEs) and positive (PCEs)-and body image dissatisfaction in adolescents. Using data from the National Survey of Children's Health, a nationally representative survey of US adolescents, we performed adjusted logistic regressions to assess associations between childhood experiences and body image dissatisfaction. Experiencing 1-2 and 3+ ACEs was associated with body image dissatisfaction compared to experiencing no ACEs (aOR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.03-1.49; aOR 1.86, 95% CI: 1.39-2.48). PCEs (family resilience and neighborhood support) were associated with lower odds of body image dissatisfaction (aOR 0.57, 95% CI 0.48-0.69; aOR 0.75, 95% CI 0.64-0.86), even in adolescents with ACEs. In adolescents with 3+ ACEs, only family resilience had protective associations against body image dissatisfaction. These findings highlight how relational support may promote positive body image, particularly in adolescents experiencing adversity.

美国青少年的身体形象不满：与不良和积极的童年经历的联系。

对身体形象的不满会影响一生的幸福。本研究探讨了父母报告的童年经历-不良（ace）和积极(pce)-与青少年身体形象不满之间的关系。使用来自全国儿童健康调查的数据，这是一项具有全国代表性的美国青少年调查，我们进行了调整后的逻辑回归来评估童年经历与身体形象不满之间的关系。经历1-2次和3次以上的不良经历与没有经历不良经历的身体形象不满意相关（aOR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.03-1.49; aOR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.39-2.48）。pce（家庭恢复力和邻里支持）与较低的身体形象不满意率相关（aOR 0.57, 95% CI 0.48-0.69; aOR 0.75, 95% CI 0.64-0.86），即使在有ace的青少年中也是如此。在3+ ace的青少年中，只有家庭弹性对身体形象不满有保护作用。这些发现强调了关系支持如何促进积极的身体形象，特别是在经历逆境的青少年中。
