BACKGROUND: Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is a psychiatric condition predominantly affecting teenagers and young adults, characterized by clinically significant impairments in social, academic, and functional domains. We aimed to explore the prevalence and correlates of subthreshold and probable full-syndrome BDD among Bangladeshi medical and dental students.
METHODS: An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from January to May 2024, in two medical and two dental colleges located in Dhaka division, Bangladesh, and affiliated with the University of Dhaka. Among 361 undergraduate students, the BDD questionnaire (BDDQ) screened subthreshold and probable BDD; and two multivariate binary logistic regression models identified some important academic, sociodemographic, and lifestyle-related correlates of these conditions.
RESULTS: 13.3 % and 5.8 % of the participants were screened as having subthreshold BDD and probable BDD, respectively. Being a dental student (AOR = 3.96; 95 % CI 1.41-11.11), being female (AOR = 4.42; 95 % CI 1.65 to 11.85), substance (tobacco and/or alcohol) use (AOR = 2.33; 95 % CI 1.05-5.19), physical exercise (AOR = 2.67; 95 % CI 1.05-6.75), and using social media for >3 h daily (AOR = 4.34; 95 % CI 1.07-11.07) were associated with increased odds of having at least subthreshold BDD, while being normal weight exhibited decreased odds (AOR = 0.20; 95 % CI 0.06-0.67). Being female (AOR = 1.83; 95 % CI 1.30-24.02) and substance use (AOR = 3.73; 95 % CI 1.32-10.53) were associated with higher odds of having probable BDD.
CONCLUSION: This study accentuates the need for targeted interventions to facilitate body image perception-oriented psychological wellness among future healthcare professionals.
