SUMMARY:

Introduction: The perception of body image is a subjective construct that can influence people's lives in different spheres, especially health. It can be established according to an accurate or distorted view and, when it distorts, it can do so for both overweight and underweight, with consequences for physical and mental health. There are aspects of various orders that influence the perception of body image, and socioeconomic, lifestyle and health care factors are some of them. Objective: To estimate the prevalence of body image accuracy and distortion, as well as to investigate associations between body image distortion, socioeconomic characteristics, lifestyle and gynecological health care demand among Bahian women participating in the ELSA-Brasil cohort. Methods: A total of 609 women aged 50 to 69 years from the ELSA-Brasil cohort residing in Bahia participated in the study. The data were produced through questionnaires used in Wave 2 of the cohort, which allowed access to information related to the variables body image perception, socioeconomic characteristics and lifestyle, and another questionnaire that included questions about gynecological care, place of birth and of residence of the participants. The association measures were calculated using simple and multinomial logistic regression, which were computed using the Stata statistical software version 13. Results: Most participants have an accurate perspective of their own bodies. Among those who presented distorted perception, there is a tendency to distort for less weight. Younger women presented greater distortion for more weight than older women, and these presented more prevalent distortion for less weight. There were no significant associations for distortion to more weight. The distortion model for less weight revealed an association between the variables race/color and education, according to which brown and black women and less educated are more likely to develop distortion for less weight than white and more educated women. Conclusion: The results contribute to the discussion about the perception of body image associated with socioeconomic factors, especially race/color and education, and their relationship with the sphere of women's health.
