Demographic Differences and Associations Between Body Image and Quality of Life Among Japanese Adolescents with Congenital Physical Disabilities.

This study aimed to examine the levels, demographic differences, and associations between body image (BI) and quality of life (QOL) among Japanese adolescents with congenital physical disabilities. A self-report questionnaire was administered to 107 Japanese adolescents with congenital physical disabilities, which included demographic variables, the Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire, and the Japanese version of the World Health Organization Quality of Life Brief Version. Data were analyzed using Cronbach's α coefficient, descriptive statistics, -tests, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's correlation coefficient.
