To determine if there is an association between alexithymia and eating disorders in secondary school adolescents in schools in Piura. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Analytical cross-sectional study with primary data collection using a self-administered data collection form to adolescent students in grades one through five of secondary schools in Piura 2022. For this study, frequency tables and percentages were used, as well as a significant association with p-values <= 0.05. RESULTS: The study results reveal significant differences in multiple variables related to alexithymia and eating disorders in adolescents from Piura. A statistically significant association was found between alexithymia and female gender, age over 14 years, year of study above the second year, not living with both parents, alcohol consumption, and the presence of eating disorders. These findings underscore the importance of considering the influence of gender, age, family structure, and other factors when analyzing the relationship between alexithymia and these disorders in this specific population, which may have significant implications for the identification and management of these conditions. CONCLUSION: There is an association between alexithymia and eating disorders in secondary school adolescents in Piura schools.
