Tiivistelmä

This cross‐sectional population‐based survey compares the prevalence of
self‐reported body image and eating distress symptoms among adolescents
in Japan and Finland, and associations between emotional/behavioral
problems, body image and eating distress from a cross‐cultural
perspective. The study included 1,840 Japanese and 1,135 Finnish 8th
grade students. The self‐reported questionnaire included the Body Image
and Eating Distress Scale and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
(SDQ). The female adolescents from both Finland and Japan reported much
greater dissatisfaction with, and concern about, their bodies than the
males and Japanese females expressed even higher distress than Finnish
females. High levels of body image and eating distress were associated
with psychiatric problems measured with the SDQ. There was a significant
three‐way interaction effect of body image and eating distress, gender
and country with SDQ peer problems and prosocial behavior.
