When there is a difference between the ideal body image of a person and the perception of one's body, there is interference with the image of the body.

Young people who are dissatisfied with their physical image may be trapped in a variety of health hazard behaviors that lead to inappropriate energy intake and ingestion of essential nutrients, thereby compromising growth, development and health . BID is an important predictor of the incidence of eating disorders (Neumark-Sztainer, Paxton, Hannan, Haines, & Story, 2006) and is a range of psychiatric disorders such as depression and low self-esteem.
