Introduction: The specific rules of physical appearance proposed by society, are internalized by the human being and impact on their behavior, leading to risky eating behaviors such as excessive weight control and erroneous actions for the control of this (Thompson & Stice, 2001; Hunot, Vizmanos, Vázquez & Celis, 2008). Objectives: To examine the relationship between sociocultural attitudes towards appearance and risky eating behaviors in women Instagram users and compare them according to age. Methodology: 392 Women from Lima participated in Instagram users aged between 18 and 45 years (M= 19.5; DS= 7.17). The Socialcultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire- 4 (SATAQ-4) (Thompson and Stice, 2001) and the Eating Disorder Inventory (EDI3) (Gardner, 1991) were administered. Results: There is a relationship between sociocultural influences towards appearance and obsession with thinness. There are differences between young and adult women in the obsession with thinness. Young women were more likely to become obsessed with their appearance. Conclusion: There is a relationship between the internalization of the ideal of thinness and the obsession with thinness. Young women are more exposed to such pressure over how their bodies should look.
