Given our increasingly appearance-focused culture, body image concerns are now reported by bothwomen and men across the life span. This article examines the different components of body image and prevalence of bodydissatisfaction, and provides examples of measures that have been developed to assess these constructs. It also examines themain factors that shape body image related to age and gender. The nature of programs to prevent body image problems,particularly at school and policy levels, is also discussed.
