Background: To determine the association between overweight / obesity and self-esteem in university students aged 19 to 24 from a private university in Lima. Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was carried out in which 177 students from 19 to 24 years old participated, they were selected for convenience. The self-filled Rosenberg Scale questionnaire was applied to measure self-esteem, and weight and height measurements were made to calculate the body mass index (BMI). Results: Of the total number of students, 42,2% were overweight/obese. A direct association was not found between BMI and self-esteem, but there was between age and self-esteem (p <0,005). It was found that students from 19 to 20 years old had the lowest self-esteem and those from 23 to 24 years old had the highest self-esteem. Likewise, it was found that in health science students the level of self-esteem is lower in the overweight/obesity group than in the normal weight group, unlike the careers, where these differences were not found. Finally, it was found that in the 19 to 20-year-old group there are differences in the Rosenberg Scale score between the overweight/obesity and normal weight groups. Conclusion: No significant differences were found regarding the association between overweight obesity and low self-esteem in young university students. However, it was found that self-esteem is lower at 19 to 20 years and as age increases, self-esteem also does.
