Adolescence is the most sensitive stage when it comes to body image problems, it is characterized by physiological, emotional, cognitive and social changes, which cause concern for physical appearance. The present study arose from the need to know the relationship between self-perception of body image and nutritional status in adolescents in the 2nd year of high school from the educational institution Jorge Basadre Grohmann del Callao, knowing that an inappropriate perception of body image can bring as a consequence some type of alteration in eating behavior, generating malnutrition due to deficit or excess in the group under study. It was a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional study. The sample was made up of 64 adolescents between the ages of 12 to 16, from the Jorge Basadre Grohmann educational institution, to whom a questionnaire was applied that contained: personal data, the Thompson and Gray Silhouettes Test, and anthropometric data, that were taken according to the protocol dictated by the Technical Health Standard for Anthropometric Nutritional Assessment in the Adolescent Life Stage according to the Ministry of Health, National Institute of Health and the Food and Nutrition Center (MINSA - INS - CENAN) . For the present assessment, anthropometric measurements such as weight and height were taken, obtaining by means of these parameters the Body Mass Index for age (BMI / age), this indicator allowed us to know about the real nutritional status of the adolescent under study. The association between variables was verified using the Chi2 test. The general hypothesis proposed that there is a relationship between self-perception of body image and nutritional status in adolescents in the 2nd year of secondary school at the educational institution, being confirmed according to statistics with a p-value (0.000) ≤ α (0.05), therefore which the Ho is rejected and we are in favor of the H1. The specific hypothesis No. 1, stated that there is a relationship between the self-perception of body image and the nutritional status in adolescents who are in normal weight, being confirmed according to the statistic with a p-value (0.009) ≤ α (0.05). The specific hypothesis No. 2, stated that there is a relationship between self-perception of body image and nutritional status between men and women, based on the statistics, Ho was not rejected, presenting a p-value (0.089)> α (0.05). However, at a significance level of 0.10 if we could have confirmed the existence of such a relationship.
