RESUMO:

Objective: In Brazil, information about the influence of body image perception on the various life domains of women in menopausal transition is scarce. Thus, the objective of the study was to analyze the relationship between body image perception and quality of life in middle-aged Brazilian women. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study of 250 women between 40 and 65 years old, living in Parnamirim/RN, Brazil. Body image was assessed using the Stunkard scale, in which women were classified as: dissatisfied due to low weight, satisfied (with their body weight) and dissatisfied due to overweight. Quality of life was assessed using the Utian Quality Of Life (UQol) questionnaire. Multiple linear regression was performed to analyze the relationship between body image and quality of life, adjusted for covariates that presented p<0.20 in the bivariate analysis. Results: The average age was 52.1 (± 5.6) years, and 82% of the women reported being dissatisfied due to overweight and 4.4% were dissatisfied due to low weight. After multiple linear regression analyzes, body image remained associated with health (p<0.001), emotional (p=0.016), and sexual (p=0.048) domains, as well as total UQol score (p<0.001). Moreover, the presence of comorbidities such as diabetes (p=0.031) and depression (p<0.001) in middle-aged women was related to poorer quality of life in the total UQoL score. Conclusion: Women who reported being dissatisfied with their body image due to low weight or overweight had worse quality of life in comparison to those who were satisfied (with their body weight).
