Los trastornos en la conducta alimentaria constituyen un problema de salud por su creciente incidencia, gravedad de la sintomatología asociada, resistencia al tratamiento y porque se presenta en edades más tempranas. Se estudió la relación entre las conductas de riesgo de trastorno alimentario, la imagen corporal y autoestima en un grupo de adolescentes de Secundaria. Se aplicaron tres instrumentos el Test de Actitudes Alimentarias (EAT-40), Cuestionario de la figura corporal (BSQ), Cuestionario de Evaluación de la Autoestima y un Cuestionario de datos sociodemográficos a 298 alumnos 153 mujeres y 145 hombres, con una edad promedio de 13 años. Se encontró riesgo de trastorno alimentario (8 por ciento) y en un 10 por ciento la patología instalada, con mayor prevalencia en las mujeres; ambos sexos presentan preocupación por su imagen corporal, niveles medios y bajos de autoestima y una mayor tendencia a presentar trastornos alimentarios en las mujeres. Los casos se incrementan con la edad.
