    La ansiedad por la apariencia social se ha asociado con muchos conceptos, especialmente con la imagen corporal y la autoestima, y tienen un nivel de comorbilidad muy alto. Nuestro objetivo fue evaluar la relación entre el índice de masa corporal (IMC), la percepción corporal, la ansiedad por la apariencia social y la autoestima entre las mujeres, con especial interés en el posible efecto mediador del IMC entre la ansiedad por la apariencia social y la autoestima. Participaron voluntariamente 1344 mujeres. Las puntuaciones de la escala de autoestima diferían significativamente según la imagen corporal, el IMC y la frecuencia de pesaje. Se encontró que la ansiedad por la apariencia social estaba inversamente relacionada con la autoestima y esta relación siguió siendo significativa cuando se ajustó por el IMC como parámetro mediador. En consecuencia, pensamos que mejorar la percepción corporal de las mujeres y reducir la ansiedad por la apariencia social son las principales intervenciones que pueden aumentar la autoestima de estas mujeres.

    Social appearance anxiety has been associated with many concepts, especially body image and self-esteem, and has a very high level of comorbidity. We aimed to examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI), body perception, social appearance anxiety and self-esteem among women, with a particular focus on the possible mediating effect of BMI regarding the relationship between social appearance anxiety and self-esteem. We included 1344 volunteer women in this study. The self-esteem scale scores of women differed significantly according to body image, BMI, and weighing frequency. Social appearance anxiety was found to be inversely associated with self-esteem, and this relationship remained significant when adjusted for BMI as a mediating parameter. As a result, it is expected that improving women's body perception and reducing social appearance anxiety are the foremost interventions to increase the self-esteem of these women
