| Background and Objectives: The global rise in obesity presents a significant public health challenge, with Turkey exhibiting one of the highest obesity rates in Europe. Body image dissatisfaction (BID) and lower food literacy (FL) have been associated with obesity, yet their interplay remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI), body image dissatisfaction, and FL in adults in Turkey. Materials and Methods: In total, 759 women and 419 men aged 18–64 years old were included in this study. The mean age was 31.34 ± 11.92. A total of 1178 participants completed an online questionnaire assessing anthropometric measurements, BID, using the Stunkard Figure Rating Scale, and FL, using a validated questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and mediation analysis to explore the relationships between variables in SPSS 24.0. Results: Women desired to be thinner more frequently than men, and those with negative BID were predominantly individuals with overweight or obesity. Moreover, those with higher FL scores were more likely to be satisfied with their bodies. Correlation analysis demonstrated a negative relationship between BMI and FL (r = −0.94; p = 0.001) and a positive relationship between BMI and BID (r = 0.628; p < 0.001). Mediation analysis revealed that FL mediated the relationship between BID and BMI (β = −2.281; lower limit = −3.334, upper limit = −1.228). Conclusions: The findings highlight the importance of addressing BID and enhancing FL to mitigate obesity risk factors. This study contributes to understanding the complex … |
