@ES The results of this study are as follows :
@EN 1. The standard size of girls height was 160.95cm, their weight was 52.06kg.
2. 34 percent of the girls girls tested perceived of themselves of having proper figures. Especially in the case of overweight girls. Only 9.7 percent of girls were satisfied with their figure, the other 83.3 percent were not.

This showed that the less satisfactory their figures were, the higher their concern about weight was.
5. In order th seize the variable having an effect on the concern with weight, the result of multiple regression analysis was that the concern with appearance (p<0.001), the statistically of figure(p<0.001), the concern with health (p<0.05),
poket
money (p<0.05) and health condition (p<0.05) had a statistically significant effect and the variables also 35.7% out of this model. Concern with appearance had the most important effect of all these variables.
