Results: The majority of the elderly showed no body dissatisfaction (82.2%). There was a significant association among the absence of body dissatisfaction and the following items: retirement (p = 0.031), current study (p = 0.035), self perception of health (p = 0.016), body self perception (p = 0.001), and practice time (p = 0.027). Conclusion: Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the sociodemographic factors are intervenient when considering body dissatisfaction of the elderly people who practice weight training.http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0103-51502018000100209&lng=en&tlng=enImagem CorporalEnvelhecimentoTreinamento de ResistênciaPromoção da Saúde |
