Weight Worries May Start Early for Slim Women
There is a range of reasons why thin women think they're too heavy but the distortedbody image may often have its roots in childhood the results of a new study suggest. Researchers found that among more than 2400 thin women they surveyed nearly 10percent thought they were too heavy. 1
According to the study authors led by Dr. Susanne Kruger Kjaer of the Danish CancerSociety Copenhagen society's "Ideal" female body is moving toward an underweightphysique.2
To investigate body image among thin women the researchers gave questionnaires to2443 women ages 27 to 38 whose body mass index was at the low end of normal. 3
Overall almost 10 percent of the women thought they were too heavy. Those whoreported certain "severe life events" in childhood or adolescence such as having aparent become ill or having their educational hopes dashed were more likely than othersto have a distorted body image. 4
In contrast traumatic events in adulthood such as serious illness or significant maritalproblems were not related to poor body image the researchers report. 5
