Non-invasive morphological and functional variables were colleted and body image identification was processed using a set of numbered silhouettes. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used in decision-making. Results Greater risk-factors were found in both genders and among the age-groups being studied. There was a difference between genders regarding self-perceived body image and between two groups from the same gender. The volunteers wished to reduce their silhouettes. Conclusions The risk-factors were associated with self-perceived body image in both genders being studied here.
