Functional status and capacity were associated with social physique anxiety in male cardiac rehab; hypothesis-generating for prospective intervention trials.

How do physiologic function and depressive symptoms correlate with body image in male maintenance cardiac rehabilitation participants?
Effect estimate: R2 0.11 and 0.18
p-value: p=<.05
Both patient-reported functional status and clinician-measured functional capacity are significantly associated with body image and psychosocial well-being in men undergoing maintenance cardiac rehabilitation.
Lichtenberger et al. (2003) conducted a cross-sectional in maintenance cardiac rehabilitation (n=72). Physiologic function (functional status and functional capacity) was evaluated on social physique anxiety and body appearance satisfaction (R2 0.11 and 0.18, p=<.05). Functional capacity and functional status explained significant variance in social physique anxiety (R2=0.11 and R2=0.18, P<0.05) among men in maintenance cardiac rehabilitation.
