Abstrak
Body dissatisfaction merupakan ketidakpuasan individu terhadap bentuk dan penampilan tubuh yang dapat dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, termasuk kondisi komposisi tubuh. Lemak visceral sebagai salah satu indikator distribusi lemak tubuh berpotensi memengaruhi persepsi individu terhadap bentuk tubuh. Namun, kajian mengenai hubungan lemak visceral dengan body dissatisfaction pada mahasiswa masih terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara lemak visceral dengan body dissatisfaction pada mahasiswa. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional yang dilaksanakan pada Mei–Juni 2024 di Universitas Aisyah Pringsewu. Populasi penelitian berjumlah 263 mahasiswa dengan sampel sebanyak 93 responden yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Lemak visceral diukur menggunakan alat bioelectrical impedance analysis, sedangkan body dissatisfaction diukur menggunakan kuesioner Body Shape Questionnaire. Analisis bivariat dilakukan menggunakan uji Goodman and Kruskal's Gamma. Hasil: Sebagian besar responden memiliki lemak visceral kategori normal (94,6%) dan body dissatisfaction kategori rendah (59,1%). Hasil analisis menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara lemak visceral dengan body dissatisfaction (p=0,026) dengan nilai koefisien Gamma sebesar 0,654. Arah hubungan positif menunjukkan bahwa peningkatan kategori lemak visceral cenderung diikuti dengan peningkatan tingkat body dissatisfaction. Terdapat hubungan positif yang kuat antara lemak visceral dengan body dissatisfaction pada mahasiswa. Pemantauan komposisi tubuh perlu disertai dengan edukasi mengenai citra tubuh positif untuk mendukung kesehatan fisik dan psikologis mahasiswa.

Abstract
Body dissatisfaction refers to negative feelings and dissatisfaction with one's body shape and appearance, which may be influenced by various factors, including body composition. Visceral fat, as an indicator of body fat distribution, may affect an individual's perception of body shape. However, studies examining the relationship between visceral fat and body dissatisfaction among university students remain limited. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between visceral fat and body dissatisfaction among university students. A cross-sectional study was conducted from May to June 2024 at Universitas Aisyah Pringsewu. The study population consisted of 263 students, with 93 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Visceral fat was measured using bioelectrical impedance analysis, while body dissatisfaction was assessed using the Body Shape Questionnaire. Bivariate analysis was performed using Goodman and Kruskal's Gamma test. Most respondents had normal visceral fat levels (94.6%) and low body dissatisfaction (59.1%). The analysis revealed a significant relationship between visceral fat and body dissatisfaction (p=0.026), with a Gamma coefficient of 0.654. The positive direction of the association indicates that higher visceral fat categories tended to be accompanied by higher levels of body dissatisfaction. There was a strong positive relationship between visceral fat and body dissatisfaction among university students. Body composition monitoring should be accompanied by education promoting positive body image to support students' physical and psychological well-being.
