The aim of this research is to determine the association between eating disorder risk and disordered eating behaviour in students of the career of nutrition and dietetics of a private university in Lima. A survey of personal information and two questionnaires: EAT-26 and TFEQ-r21 were applied to 264 students. The Chi-square test was used to analyze the association between categorical variables and the Student’s t-test for numerical variables. Of the total of students included in the study, 18,2% presented a risk of suffering from eating disorders; the highest risk was found in second-year students of the degree and the lowest risk in seniors (p=0,048). Of the 3 subscales of the TFEQ-r21 questionnaire, “cognitive restriction” was the subscale with the highest score in students of both sexes with a mean of 2,93 and a SD of 0,45 (p<0,001) indicating a high risk of disordered eating behaviours. Positive associations were found between risk of eating disorders and body weight (p=0,027), self-report of residence (p=0,013) in women (living without family) and with the non-omission of meals in men (p=0,010). In conclusion, high tendency to cognitive restriction and high prevalence of risk of suffering from eating disorders was found in nutrition students, especially those in the second year of studies and in women. Greater awareness and concern to prevent, detect and address eating disorders in nutrition students is needed, since eating disorders can not only affect physical and mental health, but also professional judgment of the students in the future.
