Regional Differences in Body Image Perception Among Young African American Women Living in the United States.
Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services 2018 September 29
The current study examined regional differences in body image perceptions and body mass index (BMI) among young African American women. Three hundred forty-one African American women, 18 to 40 years old, living in three regions of the United States were recruited. Pulver's Figure Rating scale was used to identify body image perceptions. Weight and height were measured for BMI calculation. Analysis of covariance was used to examine body image perception differences. The sample mean age was 27.8 years and mean BMI was 30.3 kg/m2 . Participants' body image perceptions were significantly smaller among participants living in the Northeast compared to the Southeast (mean difference = -0.65, 95% confidence interval [CI] [-1.18, -0.11], p = 0.018) and Midwest (mean difference = -0.64, 95% CI [-1.16, -0.12], p = 0.015). No significant differences in BMI were found among regions (F(8,318) = 1.17, p = 0.314). Clinical implications of these findings are discussed.
