| Research Abstract |
In order to understand body image and related psychiatric health risks of young Japanese adult females, an administration of a questionnaire on lifestyle and media influences as well as detailed assessments on anthropometry, body composition, blood biomarkers and analyses on genetic polymorphism were conducted. The results showed that, although about 60% of young females perceived themselves as being fat and expressed dissatisfaction, they did not practice healthy lifestyle. Also the study indicated a possibility that genetic polymorphisms may influence body proportion, fat distribution pattern and a way of thinking. Since the present study did not show associations between healthy lifestyle or body image and national public health messages, a construction of more effective health promotion strategy is essential.
