Article Synopsis
- Obesity remains a significant global public health issue, and understanding factors like self-perception of body weight is essential for addressing it.
- An analytical cross-sectional study of 5483 Chilean participants found a low agreement between self-perceived body image and actual nutritional status, especially among women, those in rural areas, and individuals with lower education levels.
- The findings suggest that many Chileans underestimate their body weight, which can hinder efforts to recognize and address obesity through lifestyle changes and healthier eating habits.
