Body Image and Psychopathology in Men Over 65: Is It Time to Revise BMI Cutoffs?
This study highlights the importance of considering BD in older adults. These findings indicate differences in BD across BMI categories, suggesting potential benefits of using age-specific BMI thresholds (27.27 kg/m<sup>2</sup> or 28 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) when assessing body image in aging populations. Further research should explore age-specific differences in body image and their implications for mental health in older adults.
