Adolescent body Image perceptions shape dietary habits, study finds bodyimage perception eatinghabits teenagers diet nutrition NutrReviews
By Dr. Chinta SidharthanMay 10 2023Reviewed by Benedette Cuffari, M.Sc. In a recent study published in the journal Nutrition Reviews, researchers review current literature to determine the association between dietary habits and body image perception and satisfaction in adolescents.
Body image has components related to perception, satisfaction, behavior, and cognition. For example, body image perception refers to how accurately an individual perceives themselves, while body image satisfaction depends on how closely their perception of themselves matches their ideal body image. Related StoriesThe included studies examined the association between dietary habit indicators or dietary patterns such as daily consumption of fruits and vegetables, and body image perception and satisfaction among adolescents aged 10 to 18 years.
Comparatively, other studies indicated that adolescents with a more accurate perception of their body weight had unhealthy dietary habits with a higher consumption of sweets, hamburgers, chips, and sweetened beverages.

Blurring the boundary between models and reality: Visual perception of scale assessed by performanceOne of the primary jobs of visual perception is to build a three-dimensional representation of the world around us from our flat retinal images. These are a rich source of depth cues but no single one of them can tell us about scale (i.e., absolute depth and size). For example, the pictorial depth cues in a (perfect) scale model are identical to those in the real scene that is being modelled. Here we investigate image blur gradients, which derive naturally from the limited depth of field available for any optical device and can be used to help estimate visual scale. By manipulating image blur artificially to produce what is sometimes called fake tilt shift miniaturization, we provide the first performance-based evidence that human vision uses this cue when making forced-choice judgements about scale (identifying which of an image pair was a photograph of a full-scale railway scene, and which was a 1:76 scale model). The orientation of the blur gradient (relative to the ground plane) proves to be crucial, though its rate of change is less important for our task, suggesting a fairly coarse visual analysis of this image parameter.
