Introduction: Internet addiction (IA) is defined as the uncontrolled use of online browsing for recreational purposes throughout each day, leading to neglecting other important areas in your life such as work, social relationships, food and rest. Excessive exposure to the Internet, and therefore to multiple stressors and social pressures, can trigger these risky eating behaviors. Objective: Determine if Internet addiction is associated with risky eating behaviors in medical students. Materials and methods: An observational, analytical, cross-sectional study was carried out. The study population was made up of 110 students from the 5th and 6th year of human medicine at the Antenor Orrego Private University. Results: The prevalence of Internet addiction and risky eating behaviors was evident. The prevalence ratio between Internet addiction and risky eating behaviors is 0.57 [95% CI 0.07 - 4.45], with p=0.593 (p<0.05). And its correlation between both scores using the Spearman coefficient is 0.136 [95% CI: -0.065 to 0.328], and p=0.157. Only origin and academic year turned out to have a significant association with risky eating behaviors. Conclusions: In our study we were able to conclude that there is no statistically significant association between Internet addiction and risky eating behaviors in 5th and 6th year students of human medicine
