Introduction: Eating disorders (ED) currently represent a significant public health challenge, affecting various population groups, including medical students; leading to a deterioration in the physical health or social functioning of individuals. Objective: Determine the association between academic stress and eating disorders in human medicine students at the UAC, enrolled in the 2024-I semester. Methods: An observational, analytical and cross-sectional design study was carried out. 288 university students from the school of human medicine of the Andean University of Cusco, enrolled in the 2024-I semester, were surveyed about academic stress and eating disorders at a single time. Results: A statistically significant relationship was evident between the variables academic stress and ED (p=0.014). Where there is a significant relationship between the dimension of stress symptoms and ED (PR, 2.15; 95% CI, p = 0.043). And an association was observed between having a low (PR, 2.74; 95% CI, p = 0.046) or high score (PR, 2.31; 95% CI, p = 0.046) in the coping strategies dimension and the presence of ED. Conclusions: A statistically significant association between the dimensions of stress symptoms and coping strategies with the presence of ED has been identified. Regarding prevalence, it is observed that 97% of the study population, composed of human medicine students, experience academic stress, while 16% present eating disorders.
