description Eating disorders tend to occur among young women, placing undergraduatestudents as a risk group. This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional status associated to the perception of the body image and to the eating behavior of female students in a Nutrition course. This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study with a representative random sample, which usedthe self-reported body mass index (BMI); the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ); the Bulimic Investigatory Test Edinburgh (Bite); and the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-26). Descriptive analyzes of mean ± standard deviation (SD) and simple and relative frequencies were used. For the analysis of statistical differences,the analysis of variance (Anova)was used and the significance level among groups was determined by the Turkey test, with a significance level of p <0.05. The means ± SD of age and BMI were 23 ± 4 years and 23.39 ± 4.01, respectively. The prevalenceswere: 46.14% revealed distortion of the body image by the BSQ; 9.62% had a risk of developing eating disorders by theEAT-26 and 15.38% expressed abnormal eating behavior. In the studied population, there is a great concern about the body, demonstrating the influence of sociocultural pressure on this group. DOI: 10.12957/demetra.2018.30654
