  1. Note The body image disorder score is non-normal distribution, using non-parametric test. Bonferroni multiple mean comparison results show that, BMI ≥ 28 was significantly different from BMI 18.5–23.9 in terms of severity of body image impairment ( p < 0.05). Workers have a higher BIDQ than Individual businesses(p < 0.05). Those with Mild and Moderate hair loss had a higher BIDQ than those without hair loss(p < 0.05). BIDQ with extremely mild, mild, moderate, and severe acne was found to be higher than those without acne(p < 0.05)
