Body size preferences for women and adolescent girls living in Africa: a mixed-methods systematic review

Rebecca Pradeilles et al.

Summary: This systematic review explores body size preferences among females in Africa and the factors influencing these preferences. The majority of studies found that women prefer normal or overweight body sizes, while some adolescent girls and young women prefer underweight body sizes. Factors influencing body size preferences include socio-demographic, health-related, psycho-social, and socio-cultural factors. The preference for overweight body sizes among some African females highlights the need for interventions to address the various factors that contribute to these preferences. While the widespread preference for normal weight is positive in terms of public health, the valorization of underweight in adolescent girls and young women may lead to increased body dissatisfaction. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on education to prevent all forms of malnutrition.

The Use of Single-Item Ratings Versus Traditional Multiple-Item Questionnaires to Assess Mood and Health

Joris C. Verster et al.

Summary: Single-item ratings are typically in good agreement with corresponding subscale assessments, but less so in complex multimodal constructs. The use of single-item assessments is recommended as they more comprehensively evaluate various aspects of a construct compared to composite symptom scores.

You have to be clean: a qualitative study of pubic hair grooming behaviours among women living in Italy

Summary: This study aimed to describe pubic hair removal attitudes and behaviors among reproductive-age women living in Italy. Findings showed that participants mainly removed pubic hair by waxing, influenced by sexual partners, cultural norms, and desire for cleanliness. While most participants began removing pubic hair during adolescence, they had rarely discussed removal complications with healthcare providers.
