    Body dissatisfaction is the discontent of the actual image versus the ideal one, while emotional dependence involves the intense need for affection that generates obsessive thoughts and submissive behaviors. Both phenomena can affect the overall well-beingof the individual. The purpose of this research was to determine the relationship between body dissatisfaction and emotional dependence in university students. The study had a quantitative approach of non-experimental design, crosssectional, descriptive-correlational scope. The sample consisted of 196 university students, 79 men and 117 women ranging from 18 to 38 years of age. The Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) adapted by Martinez and Quishpe in 2021 and the Emotional Dependence Questionnaire (CDE) adapted by Brito and Gonzales in 2016 were used. The findings showed a moderate positive correlation between the variables; more than half of the participants presented low levels of body dissatisfaction and emotional dependence. As for the mean body dissatisfaction scores, there were statistically significant differences according to sex, being higher in women.
