National Trends in the Prevalence of Suicide Attempts Among Adolescents by Self-Perceived Weight, 2005–2023: A Nationwide Representative Study in South Korea
Findings from the present study suggest that self-perceived weight was associated with suicide attempts and interaction analyses indicated a potential sex-based difference in the impact of body image distortion. Therefore, this study suggests the introduction of programs and campaigns aimed at correcting distorted self-perceived weight.
