Quantifying body size estimation accuracy and body dissatisfaction in body dysmorphic disorder using a digital avatar

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A core feature of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) is body image disturbance. Many with BDD misperceive and are dissatisfied with the sizes and shapes of body parts, but detailed quantification and analysis of this has not yet been performed. To address this gap, we applied Somatomap 3D, a digital avatar tool, to quantify body image disturbances by assessing body size estimation (BSE) accuracy and body dissatisfaction.
