Publication Women report worse metrics of positive body image and fat talk: Findings of an exploratory study in a Chilean sample(2025) Calisto, Javiera; Salazar, Catalina; Seco, Macarena; Vergara-Barra, Pablo; Leonario-Rodriguez, MarcellThis study aimed to investigate the correlation between a positive body image and fat talk, along with the influencing factors shaping their relationship within a cohort of Chilean participants. A cross-sectional exploratory study was undertaken, with variables drawn from the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS) and the Fat Talk Questionnaire (FTQ). Body image distortion was gauged through anthropometric measurements juxtaposed with Standard Figural Stimuli (SFS). women exhibited lower levels of body image positivity in comparison to men (p = 0,049), coupled with a statistically significant elevation in exposure to fat-phobic discussions (p = 0,005). Remarkably, these two variables were associated irrespective of gender, age, nutritional status, or socioeconomic status within the evaluated population.
