    Adolescence is a stage of vulnerability to risk of Eating Disorder (ED) and physiological, psychological and social changes are often associated factors. Eating Disorders are more prevalent in women because they are a group that puts weight, nutritional status, and body image in controversy. The lack of information in Ecuador on this problem has served as a starting point to carry out this research project to relate the body mass index for age (BMI/Age) and the risk of suffering an eating disorder in adolescent women. This is a correlational study with a quantita tive, non-experimental, cross-sectional, and descriptive approach, in which 106 young students from an educational unit in Zone 3 were included, to whom an intrafamilial relationship survey, the SCOFF test and the collection of anthropometric data (weight, height) were applied. Of the total sample studied, it was found that normal nutritional status prevails (60.4%), overweight (27.4%) and obesity (11.3%), 65.1% present a risk of suffering an ED in relation to their nutritional status according to BMI/Age a nd that these variables also present a highly significant difference (Px < 0.05), finally it was determined that communication between caregivers or parents and adolescents, and, the risk of suffering an ED has a highly significant difference (Px < 0.05). It was demonstrated that the Body Mass Index for age has a relationship with the risk of an adolescent woman suffering an ED, and that there are factors linked to its development, such as communication between parents or caregivers and young women.

    Binge eating disorder (BED) regularly begins in adolescence and is characterized by recurrent episodes of excessive and uncontrolled food intake in a short period of time without compensatory behaviors. The objective was to identify the relationship between the risk of BED with the nutritional status of high school adolescents of the Juan León Mera "La Salle" high school, determined by anthropometric indicators. Nonexperimental study, cross-sectional and correlational in scope, with 218 adolescents, 121 males and 97 females, between 14 and 18 years of age, enrolled in the 2022- 2023 school year. Anthropometric data (weight and height), sociodemographic data and the risk of BED were collected using an annexed instrument, the Binge Eating Scale (BES) translated and validated in Spanish. 25.2% of the participants presented excess weight (20.2% overweight and 5% obese) according to their Body Mass Index for Age (BMI/A), in addition 5.5% presented Low Height for Age (H/A), the risk of BED was 11.5% (n=25) of which 15 presented moderate binge eating and 10 severe binge eating, the sociodemographic factors associated with binge eating were: female gender, neutral or poor relationship with parents/caregivers and neutral or unsatisfied body image (p<0.05). It was identified that between the risk of BED and BMI/A there is a significant positive relationship (p<0.01) (the higher the BMI/A, the higher the risk of BED), and between the risk of BED and H/A there is a significant negative relationship (p<0.05) (the higher the H/A, the lower the risk of BED)
