There were no significant differences of the prevalence of BDD between different undergraduate students' sex,schools,grades,races and ages in Hainan undergraduates. (2) The prevalence of BDD in Hainan undergraduate students was correlated with self-acceptance (Beta=-0.056, P=0.000), body self-confidence (Beta= -0.073, P=0.007), experience of childhood abuse and neglect (Beta= 0.051, P=0.013), mental health (SCL-90) (Beta=0.274, P=0.000). Conclusions: (1) The prevalence of BDD in Hainan undergraduate students was 4.95% in this study.
