It’s known for its beautiful architecture and breathtaking coastline, but now Malta has a new claim to fame. 

Experts have revealed that it’s the country with the highest levels of body confidence. 

In a new global study, researchers from Anglia Ruskin University surveyed over 56,000 people from 65 nations about their body image. 

Malta, Taiwan, Bangladesh, and Kazakhstan topped the list as the most body confident countries. 

At the other end of the table, Australia, India, and UK were revealed as the countries with the lowest levels of body confidence.

Previous research has found a link between high levels of body appreciation and a range of positive wellbeing traits, including improved self-esteem and healthy eating habits. 

However, until now, little research has looked at how body appreciation varies around the world. 

To answer this question, the team enlisted 56,968 participants from 65 nations who were surveyed about their body image. 

Participants were asked to rate how much they agreed with 10 statements, including ‘I respect my body’, and ‘I appreciate the different and unique characteristics of my body.’ 

10 most body confident countries

  1. Malta
  2. Taiwan
  3. Bangladesh
  4. Kazakhstan
  5. South Korea
  6. Philippines
  7. Egypt
  8. Iraq
  9. Poland
  10. South Africa

10 least body confident countries 

  1. Australia
  2. India
  3. UK
  4. Ireland
  5. Ukraine
  6. Germany
  7. USA
  8. China
  9. France
  10. Brazil

Overall, the results revealed that having a more positive body image was strongly associated with better psychological wellbeing and life satisfaction. 

Professor Viren Swami, lead author of the study, said: ‘This is one of the largest studies on body image ever carried out, brought about by a collaborative research effort involving over 250 scientists across the world. 

‘Our finding that greater body appreciation is associated with better psychological wellbeing highlights the importance of developing ways to promote more positive body image globally.’

Breaking the results down by country, the researchers found that Malta topped the list as the most body confident, followed by Taiwan, Bangladesh, Kazakhstan, South Korea and the Philippines. 

People in Australia had the lowest body confidence, followed by India, the UK, Ireland, Ukraine, Germany and the USA (stock image)

At the other end of the scale, people in Australia had the lowest body confidence, followed by India, the UK, Ireland, Ukraine, Germany and the USA.  

Finally, the study found that, across nations, body appreciation was higher in people living in rural areas, as well as those who were single. 

‘People who live in urban areas may feel stronger pressure to conform to body ideals promoted by Western society, and it is also notable that people from countries considered culturally different to the United States appeared to have broadly greater body appreciation,’ Professor Swami said. 

‘People in rural areas may also benefit from being in nature, which past research has also shown to be linked with positive body image.’

The researchers hope the findings will encourage authorities around the world to promote more positive body image.

‘We are confident that the present work will help scholars better understand the meaning and manifestation of body appreciation across nations, and will be of value to practitioners and policy-makers seeking to promote more positive body image outcomes in diverse national, cultural, and linguistic groups,’ the team wrote in the study, published in Body Image.

Liz Cheney says she is confident in her reelection in Wyoming despite polling far behind her Trump-backed primary challenger Harriet Hageman – but wouldn’t rule out running for president in 2024

  • Rep. Liz Cheney is confident she will still win her Wyoming primary next month
  • ‘I don’t intend to lose the republican primary in Wyoming,’ she told ABC News
  • Also wouldn’t rule out a run for the White House in 2024 
  • Said, ‘I haven’t made a decision about that yet,’ when asked about a bid
  • Cheney is falling far behind her Trump-backed competitor Harriet Hageman in her primary race, which is being held in August
  • One poll show Cheney trailing Hageman by 30 points and another by 28 percent

Liz Cheney says she intends to win the primary election in Wyoming in August despite several polls showing her far behind her Trump-backed challenger Harriet Hageman.

The Republican at-large representative also wouldn’t rule out the possibility of mounting a run for president in 2024 when speaking with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl.

The pre-recorded interview, which aired Sunday morning on ABC’s This Week program, was the first with the January 6 select committee panel-member after a surprise hearing Tuesday that featured testimony from Cassidy Hutchinson, 25, a former top aide to ex-chief of staff Mark Meadows.

Despite a censure from the GOP in her state, Cheney is confident that she still has a chance in the primary elections.

‘I don’t intend to lose the republican primary in Wyoming,’ Cheney said when Karl asked what a loss would mean for her state and the party as it quickly split into pro- and anti-Trump factions.

‘How important is it that you win for that larger battle?’ the ABC reporter pushed.

‘I think it’s important because I will be the best representative that the people of Wyoming can have,’ she insisted.

‘The single most important thing is protecting the nation from Donald Trump,’ Cheney added. ‘And I think that that matters to us as Americans more than anything else and that’s why my work on the Committee is so important and why it’s so important to not just brush this passed, I think it’s very important that people know the truth and that there are consequences.’ 

One poll from Club for Growth taken in May showed that Cheney is behind Hageman by 30 percentage points, while another poll from Fabrizio, Lee & Associates in June showed her trailing by 28 percent.

The signs are dire for the three-term congresswoman seeing her fourth shot to continue representing Wyoming.

Cheney has, however, garnered widespread national attention through her opposition to Trump and in her fall from grace with Wyoming Republicans has still managed to out-raise Hageman well over a 2-to-1 margin in the first three months of 2022.

The congresswoman has faced widespread criticism from her party for voting to impeach Trump after the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack and then joining the Democratic-led committee probing the events leading up to, following and on that day.

Wyoming is Trump country – and the GOP there censured Cheney after her moved to accept Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s invitation to join the January 6 select committee.

The Republican National Committee (RNC) also censured Cheney and the House GOP Conference booted her from her post as its chairwoman, which is the No. 2 Republican post in Congress’ lower chamber. Cheney was replaced with New York GOP Representative Elise Stefanik.

When asked if she could run for president in 2024, Cheney said: ‘I haven’t made a decision about that yet.’

Trump endorsed Harriet Hageman in her run to take the GOP nomination in Cheney's attempt for a fourth term for Wyoming's at-large representative. The ex-president rallied for Hageman in Casper, Wyoming on May 28, 2022

‘I’m obviously very focused on my reelection,’ she added. ‘I’m very focused on the January 6 committee. I’m very focused on my obligations to do the job that I have now.’

‘I’ll make a decision about ’24 down the road,’ Cheney told Karl in her interview.

‘But I think about it less in terms of a decision about running for office and more in terms of, you know, as an American and as somebody who’s in a position of public trust now, how do I make sure that I’m doing everything I can to do the right thing, to do what I know is right for the country and to protect our Constitution.’
