Description
Minkyeong Kim and co-authors survey body image and life quality among teens in Japan born with physical disabilities, in a 2024 study. How teens see their own bodies can shape mood, health habits, and social life. The team gave a set of forms to 107 teens and scored both body image and life quality by area.
Body image scored near the middle of the scale, with health views on top and looks views at the base. Life quality also scored mid-range, led by social ties. Scores split by sex, school level, type of disability, and daily self-care skill. Most body image areas rose and fell with life quality. School level and self-care skill stood out.
