Abstract

This study was conducted to examine the body image perception and body weight satisfaction among teenagers in relation to their Body Mass Index (BMI) trend. Two instruments were administered; the questionnaire, body image perception and the body weight satisfaction among 1200 teenagers. The body mass index (BMI) pola among of 54.41% of the teenagers fall in the normal BMI (18.5-24.9). However, there was an increasing pattern of towards overweight and obese parallel to increasing of ages. This study shows the level of accuracy of the body image perception was highly correlated to the actual BMI, r=0.77, p<0.01. Tehe relationship between body weight satisfaction and BMI is low (r=0.373). To conclude, BMI level of teenagers is at satisfactory level but there is a tendency for them to project for the body weight less than the normal range as prescribed by WHO/UNICEF (1998). Hence, a constant monitoring is indeed required to avoid issues on body weight management such as obesity and under-weight among the teenagers population.
