Table 3.
Linear regression models to examine predictors for perceived self, ideal self and body dissatisfaction scores (BMI z-score as weight predictor variable)
| Variable | Perceived self (Adjusted R2 = 0.06, F = 6.16 (df = 6), p < 0.0001) |
Perceived ideal self (Adjusted R2 = 0.10, F = 11.45 (df = 6), p < 0.0001) |
Body dissatisfaction (Adjusted R2 = 0.09, F = 10.88 (df = 6), p < 0.0001) |
