Background: Evidence on the consumption of non-caloric sweeteners (NCS) in people with eating disorders (EDs) is limited. Studies suggest an association between EDs and the consumption of NCS, as well as diet soda. Objective: To determine if there is an association between the risk of eating disorders and the consumption of added NCS in young people between 18 and 30 years of age in Metropolitan Lima between August 2021 and March 2022. Methods: The design was analytical cross-sectional; non-probabilistic convenience sampling; and the data was collected through social media. Residents of Metropolitan Lima aged 18 to 30 years were included, and those who did not provide complete data, had diabetes mellitus, or were pregnant were excluded. The dependent variables were consumption of NCS and diet soda, and the independent variable was the risk of EDs, measured by the EAT-26 questionnaire. Poisson regression with robust variance was used, presenting the results as prevalence ratio (PR). Results: Participants with risk of EDs had a 44% greater probability of consuming NCS than those who did not, adjusted for confounding variables (p=0,010). There was no association between the EDs risk and the consumption of diet soda (PRa 1,26 p=0,252). The prevalence of EDs risk was 15,38%; consumption of NCS, 34,70%; and diet soda, 22,90%. Conclusions: There is an association between the risk of EDs and the consumption of added NCS in young people between 18 and 30 years of age in Metropolitan Lima, but there was no association with diet soda.
