Perceived positive wellbeing was associated with being satisfied with their body's appearance (OR 3.4 CI 2.6–4.4) and function (OR 3.1 CI 2.2–4.2), being physically active three or more times per week (OR 1.5 CI 1.1–2.0), and a good perceived family financial situation (OR 3.3 CI 1.6–6.7). The independent variables included gender, perceived family financial situation, perceived body appearance, perceived body function, and physical activity level. Logistic regression analyses were carried out with wellbeing as the dependent variable. Data were obtained from questionnaires completed by 1,491 adolescents (55.4% females median age 16 range 15–17 years) during school hours. A cross-sectional survey was performed in four upper secondary schools in one municipality in southern Sweden. This study aimed to investigate self-reported physical activity levels, perceived body appearance, and body functioning in relation to perceived wellbeing among adolescents. 3Department of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.2Department of Nursing and Health Sciences, Faculty of Health Sciences, Kristianstad University, Kristianstad, Sweden.1Department of Humanities, Faculty of Teacher Education, Kristianstad University, Kristianstad, Sweden.Ann-Christin Sollerhed 1, Johanna Fransson 2, Isabelle Skoog 2 and Pernilla Garmy 2,3 *
