This article examines the image of middle-aged women with physicality and its impact on the success of interpersonal relationships from a modern psychological point of view. Body image is a person's idea of their body, which includes self-assessment of their appearance, comfort with their own body and attitude towards their physical attractiveness. Middle-aged women who experience natural changes in their body may find it difficult to feel positive about their body.

The theoretical study characterizes the concepts of "body-self" and "image", analyzes the scientific literature on the research topic. In addition, the factors influencing the body image of middle-aged women and aspects of the midlife crisis are considered. The relationship of the image with the body and the success of interpersonal relationships are analyzed and vividly presented.

As an empirical study, middle-aged women were offered questionnaires to diagnose two aspects: one is O. A. Skugarevsky's "self–image questionnaire", the other is an author's questionnaire evaluating the success of interpersonal relationships. Most of the study participants showed average indicators of success factors in interpersonal relationships, although the degree of satisfaction with their body was lower.
