Objectives: Promote positive body image, healthy habits and changes in self-esteem among both boys and girls at High schools in our area, though the analysis of measurements and obtained research data. Methods: Self-reported questionnaire assessed 323 students. Physical measurements (weight, height, BMI) were registered in all participants. The questionnaire measured body image perception (Gardner body image evaluation scale), self-esteem (Rosenberg self-esteem scale) and body image concern (Adonis complex questionnaire). Results: The body image distortion score was similar by gender and it decreased by age. The body dissatisfaction score was negative and higher in girls. Body dissatisfaction score and self-esteem were related, so participants with low self-esteem showed a higher body dissatisfaction score. Clear association was also shown between body dissatisfaction score and body image concern, females had a higher body concern and dissatisfaction than males. Discussion: These local measurements provided updated data on our population and they will be taken in consideration to implement community health programs and further tailor intervention programs.
