Objective: The high levels of body dissatisfaction and abnormal eating attitudes currently prevalent in Western societies have been attributed by many authors to the promotion of an unrealistically thin ideal for women. We investigated the role of the visual media by examining the relationship between body image classification and eating attitudes in visually impaired women. Method: Questionnaires were administered to 60 women, 20 congenitally blind, 20 blinded later in life, and 10 slighted. Results: Congenitally blind women had lower body dissatisfaction scores and more positive eating attitudes compared to women blinded later in life and sighted women, the latter having the highest body dissatisfaction scores and th most negative eating attitudes. Scores from sighted women were positively correlated with each other. Discussion: The results suggest the importance of visual media in promoting unrealistic images of thinness and beauty and are discussed from a sociocultural perspective.
