Note. Data represent the number of participants reporting a symmetry concern for each body area and percent of participants who identified each body part as the focus of symmetry concerns. Percentages do not sum to 100 because of missing data in sample 1 and because participants could report more than one body part as being the focus of their symmetry concerns in sample 2.
