Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the media’s influence on the appearance of female teachers of Early Childhood Education and Primary School I  from private schools of São Paulo, SP. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study with teachers from 4 schools of São Paulo, SP. The teachers were submitted to an anthropometric assessment and the “Sociocultural Attitude Questionnaire” (SATAQ- 3) was applied to check how media could influence their appearance. Results: Fifty-five teachers, with mean age of 37.49 years old, participated in this study. Most of them (76,3%) were classified in the socioeconomic classes A and B. The mean Body Mass Index of the teachers was 26.6Kg/m2 and the mean body fat percentage was 41.9%. Teachers most influenced by the media were older, had higher socioeconomic status and higher percentage of body fat, but only this last association was statistically significant. It was found that teachers with longer experience period presented lower scores in SATAQ (p=0.030). Conclusions: The teachers with higher scores in the questionnaire had higher body weight and higher body fat percentage. In addition, more experienced teachers were less influenced by the media.
