It is important to feel good and to be comfortable with body image. Higher levels of body image pride are associated with higher levels of physical activity throughout adolescence.

Congratulations to our colleague Véronique Thibault, who successfully defended her doctoral thesis on December 6th. Entitled ‘Attitudes et conséquences associées aux intentions liées au contrôle du poids de l’adolescence à l’âge adulte’, Véronique’s thesis, supervised by Pr Mathieu Bélanger, aims to better understand what influences weight-related intentions and the impact of weight-related intentions on lifestyle habits and weight.
The study shows that emotions and concerns about weight are associated with weight control intentions and therefore with both positive and negative behaviours. A positive or neutral approach to weight control is recommended, along with the implementation of strategies to promote mental health and self-acceptance.
