Slightly over a fifth (21%) of Polish adults are definitely happy with how they look, while a further 53% are mostly pleased with their appearance. A quarter (25%) are not happy with what they see in the mirror, which is 5 percentage points more than in 2017.

Since the last survey the number of people who said they had improved their appearance over the previous 5 years has risen by 9 percentage points, from 26% to 35%. The most frequent change mentioned was losing a little weight.
More on this subject in the CBOS report.
This ‘Current Events and Problems’ survey (411) was conducted using a mixed-mode procedure on a representative sample of named adult residents of Poland, randomly selected from the National Identity Number (PESEL) register. Respondents independently selected one of the following methods: Computer Assisted Personal Interview (CAPI); Computer Assisted Telephone Interview (CATI), respondents receiving researchers’ telephone numbers in an introductory letter from CBOS; Computer Assisted Web Interview (CAWI), where respondents filled in the online questionnaire independently, gaining access by means of a login and password provided in an introductory letter from CBOS. In all three cases the questionnaire had the same structure and comprised the same questions. The survey was carried out between 4 – 14 July 2024 inclusive on a sample of 1076 people (61.9% using the CAPI method, 23% CATI and 15.1% CAWI).CBOS has been conducting statutory research using the above procedure since May 2020, stating in each case the percentage of personal, telephone and internet interviews.
