Weight perception and perceived attractiveness associated with self-rated health in young adults
2019, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :Men could perceive themselves as only slightly attractive and continue to report good health, while women had to perceive themselves as at least moderately attractive before reporting better health. These findings are similar to what previous research has found (Page et al., 2009; Wilson, 2009), but historically there has not been much investigation into the relationship between attractiveness and SRH, and the literature that does exist uses fairly homogenous study samples focused predominantly on women (Anderson et al., 2002; Breidablik et al., 2008; Page et al., 2009). These findings further confirm that body image is an important factor shaping SRH in young adults and demonstrates that how young adults feel about their physical appearance beyond their weight shapes their view of their health.

2017, Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and DieteticsCitation Excerpt :Efforts to lose weight have been linked to the recognition of overweight or obese status.22 Several studies have found that Hispanics and blacks are more likely to misperceive their weight status and have lower body dissatisfaction than non-Hispanic whites.5-7,23,24 Black women were reported to be more likely to perceive their ideal weight in the obese category and desire no weight change than non-Hispanic white women.25
