The Guardian reports studies in the UK suggest a growing number of older British people - including those in their 70s and 80s - are suffering from low self-esteem and anxieties relating to body image.

Professor Nichola Rumsey, an appearance researcher, says 90 percent of British women feel body-image anxiety.
