Abstract
La imagen corporal es un constructo ampliamente estudiado,
sobre todo en lo que se refiere a la percepción e insatisfacción con la pro-
pia imagen. La mayoría de las investigaciones se centran en la adolescencia
y adultez, aunque los problemas de insatisfacción aparecen cada vez a eda-
des más tempranas. Por tanto, el propósito de este estudio fue analizar los
hallazgos más transcendentes sobre insatisfacción corporal y percepción
del propio tamaño corporal en niños de 3 a 6 años (segundo ciclo de Edu-
cación Infantil). A tal fin, se usaron las bases de datos de Medline,
SportDiscus, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Dialnet, ProQuest y EBSCO, de las
cuales se seleccionaron 22 estudios, en base a criterios de exclusión como
el idioma, la revisión por pares y la medición objetiva del Índice de Masa
Corporal (IMC) de los niños. Los resultados son diversos en cuanto a los
niveles de insatisfacción, lo cual hace imposible establecer conclusiones
acertadas sobre las características y prevalencia de dicha variable a estas
edades. Entre las principales razones de esta dificultad destaca el tipo de
instrumento empleado y las dificultades de los niños para percibir su cuer-
po con exactitud.
Body image is a construct that has been widely studied, particu- larly with regard to image perception and dissatisfaction. Though most re- search studies focus on adolescence and adulthood, dissatisfaction prob- lems are manifesting themselves at increasingly early ages. The aim of this study was, therefore, to analyse the most significant findings on body dis- satisfaction and body-size perception among children aged 3 to 6 (second cycle of pre-school education). To this end the Medline, SportDiscus, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Dialnet, ProQuest and EBSCO databases were used, and from which a total of 22 studies were selected in accordance with exclusion criteria such as language, peer review and the objective measurement of the body mass index (BMI) of children. In terms of lev- els of dissatisfaction, results vary widely, making it impossible to draw sound conclusions on the nature and prevalence of this variable at these ages. The main reasons for this include the type of instrument used and the difficulties children had in perceiving their bodies correctly.
