Introduction: Body image is the internal embodiment of individual's external appearance. The poor perception of body image can lead to several issues. This study is conducted with the aim to study the correlation between women’s body image satisfaction and demographic factors with the role of sport participation in the Boukan city in 2015.

Methods: This study is a descriptive–correlational study. 130 participants in Boukan city (women with between 20 and 30 years) who were willing to participate (half of the participants were athletes and the other half non-athletes) were selected through random sampling. Data was collected with the demographic questionnaire and the “Multidimensional Body-Self Relations Questionnaire” (MBSRQ). Cronbach's alpha 0.69 and 0.60 concurrent validity was obtained in this study. Data was analyzed by SPSS/20.

Results: The score of the body image had negative correlation with the age (-0.39), weight

(-0.29 and years of marriage (-0.39). In contrast, the body image had positive correlation with physical activities (0.63) and the height of participants (0.31). Women's body image scores is approximately explained with 46% variance of the predictor variables. For body image score, physical activities were the best predictor and the weight was the second best predictor. Moreover, there was a significant difference between body image and its subscales in active and inactive groups (t = 9.350, P ≤ 0.05).

Conclusions: Analysis showed a difference in body image between athletes and non-athletes participants. In addition, physical activity was the best predictor of body image. Therefore, participation in physical activities is recommended for improving the body image satisfaction.
