摘要：AbstractObesity more common among young peoples, is regularly calculated by using body mass index (BMI). Body shape, fat disposition, can be considered one of the risk factors in the emergence of various health problems in young. Hypothesis from which we started in the study was that there is a relationship between body shape and body mass index. To achieve the research we made some anthropometrical measurement such as: height, weight, lengths, girth. We used OMRON BF 306 device to calculate BMI and Body Fat Percentage for each student. We applied the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ-16A © Evans & Dolan, 1993) for each student participant in research. The results were analyzed using SPSS 20 software. We have established different correlation between questionnaire responses and body mass index (BMI), waist hip ratio (WHR), abdominal girth (ABG) and body fat percentage (BF). Subjects reported some dissatisfaction about body shape even they have a normal BMI. This study found that body dissatisfactions involved multiple psychological processes.
