This research assessed the effects of body shape awareness on body mass index (BMI) based on 165 male and female college students in the G city. First, in assessing satisfaction levels of body shape based on body mass index-based normal weight, there were only 7 (36.8%) male students dissatisfied with their body while there were 95 (85.6%) female students feeling dissatisfied (p<0.001). Second, looking at the difference between real body mass index and idealistic body mass index, all 13 real body mass index -based overweight students (100%) wanted to lose weight to reach idealistic body mass index-based normal weight (p<0.001). Third, looking at the association between body mass index and body shape awareness factors, body mass index and interest in body shape were negatively correlated while body mass index and body shape awareness were positively correlated. In conclusion, both male and female students preferred underweight over normal weight, mandating the need to induce the establishment of self-awareness for healthy body shape. Therefore, awaken the importance of eating a thing, due to the false body image does not adversely affect a weight control behavior such as not wrong eating habits formed or validation may be necessary proactive nutrition education and counseling about the correct body awareness and healthy eating.
