Abstract Purpose Body image has a significant impact on the outcome of obesity surgery. This study aims to perform a semantic evaluation of body shapes in obesity surgery patients and a group of controls. Materials and Methods Thirty-four obesity surgery (OS) subjects, stable after weight loss (average 48.03 ± 18.60 kg), and 35 overweight/obese controls (MC), were enrolled in this study. Body dissatisfaction, self-esteem, and body perception were evaluated with self-reported tests, and semantic evaluation of body shapes was performed with three specific tasks constructed with realistic human body stimuli. Results The OS showed a more positive body image compared to HC (p < 0.001), higher levels of depression (p < 0.019), and lower self-esteem (p < 0.000). OS patients and HC showed no difference in weight bias, but OS used a higher BMI than HC in the visualization of positive adjectives (p = 0.011). Both groups showed a mental underestimation of their body shapes. Conclusion OS patients are more psychologically burdened and have more difficulties in judging their bodies than overweight/obese peers. Their mental body representations seem not to be linked to their own BMI. Our findings provide helpful insight for the design of specific interventions in body image in obese and overweight people, as well as in OS.

En Chile, el incremento de la obesidad infantil ha llegado a ser un importante problema de salud pública, sin embargo existe escasa evidencia de su impacto en factores psicológicos en población preadolescente y adolescente. El propósito de esta investigación fue evaluar el estado nutricional de escolares y sus niveles de autoestima, determinando la relación de estas variables y comparando los resultados según estatus corporal. Se evaluaron 164 escolares, 93 niños y 71 niñas, de entre 11 y 14 años de edad (12.54 ± 1.14), pertenecientes a dos centros educativos públicos de la ciudad de Temuco, Chile. Se recolectaron datos respecto al curso de estudio, edad, sexo, IMC (índice de masa corporal), contorno cintura (CC), perímetro cadera (PC), índice cintura cadera (ICC), razón cintura estatura (RCE) y niveles de autoestima. El 55.49% de la muestra de estudio presentó sobrepeso u obesidad. En la comparación por sexo las variables ICC (p<,001), talla (p=.003) y autoestima (p=.018) fueron mayor en los niños, el PC (p=.011) fue superior en las niñas. Los sujetos en categoría de muy baja autoestima presentaron mayor IMC, CC, PC y RCE (p<.05). El IMC presentó una asociación negativa con los niveles de autoestima (p=.002, r=-.237), y con variables antropométricas de CC, PC, ICC y RCE se reportó una asociación positiva y significativa (p<.05). Los hallazgos de la investigación evidencian una relación negativa entre autoestima y malnutrición por exceso, lo que en consecuencia deja expuesta una relación entre factores de riesgo cardiovascular y variables psicosociales como autoestima.Abstract. The increase of childhood obesity has become a major public health problem in Chile; however, there is little evidence of its impact on psychological factors in preadolescent and adolescent populations. The purpose of this research was to evaluate the nutritional status of schoolchildren and their self-esteem levels, determining the relationship of these variables, and comparing the results according to body status. A total of 164 students, 93 men and 71 women, between 11 and 14 years old (12.54 ± 1.14) were evaluated. Participants belong to two public schools in the city of Temuco, Chile. Data were collected regarding study, age, gender, BMI, waist circumference (WC), hip circumference (HC), waist-hip ratio (WHR), waist-to-height ratio (WSR), and self-esteem levels. 55.49% of the sample of study showed to be overweight or obesity. The variables waist-to-hip ratio (p=.000), HC (p=0.011) and height (p=.003), showed significant differences when comparing by gender. Men had higher levels of self-esteem than women (p=.018). Subjects in the category of very low self-esteem had higher BMI, WC, HC, and WSR (p<.05). BMI presented a negative association with self-esteem levels (p=.002, r =-.237), whereas a positive and significant association was reported with the other anthropometric variables (p<.05). The findings of this research showed a negative association between self-esteem and individuals with overweight or obesity. Consequently, they contribute to highlight the strong relation between cardiovascular risk factors and psychosocial variables such as self-esteem.
