Millennial women (i.e., born between 1981 and 1996) in the UK (N = 1351; M<sub>age</sub> = 37.24, SD = 4.36) participated in a three-arm online randomised controlled trial and were assigned to (1) Podcast plus Journal, (2) Podcast Only, or (3) Control Podcast unrelated to body image. Trait measures of appearance esteem (primary outcome), internalisation, self-objectification, and weight esteem were assessed at baseline, one-day, and one-week follow-up. State body satisfaction and mood were assessed immediately before and after intervention exposure. Analyses were conducted using intention-to-treat analysis of covariance models controlling for baseline scores. No significant improvements were observed for appearance esteem or other trait constructs in either intervention condition at either follow-up timepoint except for internalisation where a small positive effect was found at one-week post for the Podcast Only condition. Participants in the Podcast Only condition reported a small but significant boost to state body satisfaction relative to the control condition. This was not replicated in the Podcast plus Journal condition, nor for mood. Engagement moderated several trait outcomes in the Podcast Only condition, with higher engagement associated with more favourable scores. Acceptability of the podcast was rated very good by participants. Findings suggest podcasts are an acceptable digital format for delivering body image content, delivering in-the-moment improvements in body satisfaction.</p>","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":"59 ","pages":"102194"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149225051","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 500 individuals representing an online sample of citizens of the United Kingdom completed a survey assessing nature contact, intuitive eating, and three hypothesised trait mediators (body appreciation, self-compassion, connectedness to nature). Correlational analyses indicated positive, medium-sized relationships between all variables. Structural equation modelling showed that the direct relationship between nature contact and intuitive eating was not significant. Instead, the relationship was significantly mediated by body appreciation and self-compassion. Evidence of more complex serial pathways involving all three mediators was also present. These mediational pathways were robust to sensitivity checks (using alternative measures of nature contact, covarying sociodemographic and socioeconomic variables) and were invariant across binary gender identity. These findings provide the first evidence that nature contact may indirectly support more adaptive and healthy eating patterns, but replications in other national and cultural contexts are needed.</p>","PeriodicalId":48312,"journal":{"name":"Body Image","volume":" ","pages":"102199"},"PeriodicalIF":6.0,"publicationDate":"2026-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149197138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this introductory editorial, we present a brief description of the SIBI framework, consider relevant research that has begun to more fully consider racism and white supremacy in body image research and practice, and introduce the articles that are included in the special issue.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of existing literature (<em>K =</em> 24) was analysed through a random effects model, with separate analyses for gender (transgender men, transgender women and combined TGD) and type of gender affirming care (hormones and surgery). An exploratory narrative review (<em>K =</em> 45) examined impacts of gender affirming care on EDs by gender and type of gender affirming care separately. Hormonal treatment was associated with lowered BD for combined TGD samples (<em>g</em> = −0.462, <em>p</em> < .001) and transgender men (<em>g</em> = −0.609, <em>p</em> = .011).

Combined gender affirming care was associated with lowered BD for transgender women (<em>g</em> = −0.714, <em>p</em> < .001). Heterogeneity estimates suggest caution in generalising estimates for TM and for hormonal treatment, but broadly the meta-analyses suggest beneficial relationships with body image. Exploratory narrative review findings highlighted themes of alleviated EDs, though gender affirming care impacts were influenced by side effects such as weight gain, highlighting the need for further research on support throughout the treatment process.

Our narrative synthesis explores the relationship between treatment and sample characteristics, efficacy and retention, revealing several important considerations when selecting appropriate treatments for BDD, including the incidence of comorbidities, a patient’s willingness to engage in exposure response prevention and group-based treatment components, patient age group and the treatment’s capacity to retain patients for the treatment course.
