Abstract
Objective: To assess the impacts of body dissatisfaction, sociocultural factors, and nutritional status on risk behavior for eating disorders among Nutrition students at a University in the Sub-middle São Francisco Valley. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study, with 60 university students, evaluating characterization of their socioeconomic profile, risk behavior for eating disorder, body dissatisfaction, and nutritional status. Absolute and relative frequencies of each variable were observed, data normality was tested by the Shapiro Wilk test (p<0.05), and qualitative variables were observedby the Chi-square test (p<0.05). The study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee. Results: Fromthe studied sample, 16.6% presented some degree of body dissatisfaction, and 26.7% were at risk for eating disorders. Statistical analysis suggests a possible association between risk behavior for eating disorders andthe presence of body dissatisfaction (p<0.05). Conclusion: An incisive approach to dysfunctional eating behaviors and the promotion of positive body image are essential for nutrition students, aiming to preventing future harm and ensuring professional practice with integrity and humanization.
