This study aims to analyse the relationship between food choice motivations and physical activity in body-image perception among adolescents. Twelve to sixteen years old adolescents were recruited from three school districts. The Portuguese version of the Food Choices Questionnaire (FCQ) was used to assess food choice motivators, and the Quantification de l'Activit\u00e9 Physique en Altitude Chez les Enfants was used to assess physical activity and to calculate daily energy expenditure (DEE). Body image perception was measured using Collins' sequence of seven silhouettes. Body image (dis)satisfaction was estimated by the present body shape minus the desired body shape. ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests were performed to compare groups, and the <jats:italic>post-hoc<\/jats:italic> Bonferroni test was used to compare target groups. A multinominal logistic regression was performed to analyse the association between gender, age, hours of sport's competition, FCQ, and body dissatisfaction. All analyses were performed in IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0. The sample comprised 286 adolescents (51.4% females). Means of FCQ categories varied between 0.33 and 0.97 (range: \u22122 to 2). Regarding the categories of FCQ, statistically significant differences were found in the category of body satisfaction and weight control among the three groups (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.004). A preventive effect was found of choosing food regarding body satisfaction and weight control, on body-image dissatisfaction.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fpubh.2021.651228","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,4]],"date-time":"2021-06-04T06:37:55Z","timestamp":1622788675000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Association Between Food Choices Motivators and Physical Activity in Body Image (dis)Satisfaction in Portuguese Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Sara Sim\u00f5es","family":"Dias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Marlene","family":"Lages","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Roberta","family":"Frontini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds","family":"Lu\u00eds","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Maria dos Anjos","family":"Dixe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,6,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","unstructured":"Obesity and Overweight2020"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"614","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-018-5480-z","article-title":"Prevalence of general and abdominal obesity in Portugal: comprehensive results from the National Food, nutrition and physical activity survey 2015\u20132016","volume":"18","author":"Oliveira","year":"2018","journal-title":"BMC Public Health"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"118","DOI":"10.1002\/eat.22592","article-title":"Disentangling body image: the relative associations of overvaluation, dissatisfaction, and preoccupation with psychological distress and eating disorder behaviors in male and female adolescents","volume":"50","author":"Mitchison","year":"2017","journal-title":"Int J Eat Disord"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"864","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph16050864","article-title":"Body image concerns and body weight overestimation do not promote healthy behaviour: evidence from adolescents in Lithuania","volume":"16","author":"Jankauskiene","year":"2019","journal-title":"Int J Environ Res Public Health"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"7","DOI":"10.1016\/j.adolescence.2015.02.004","article-title":"Body dissatisfaction and disordered eating among Portuguese and Spanish adolescents: the role of individual characteristics and internalisation of sociocultural ideals","volume":"41","author":"Francisco","year":"2015","journal-title":"J Adolesc"},{"key":"B6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e0222777","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0222777","article-title":"The association between disordered eating and health-related quality of life among children and adolescents: a systematic review of population-based studies.
