BACKGROUND: There exists a limited amount of research, conducted in Latin American countries, that suggests a higher risk of eating disorders in women belonging to a higher socioeconomic position. OBJECTIVE: Determine the association between socioeconomic position and the risk of eating disorders in women between 18 and 30 years in Lima Metropolitan, 2021. METHODS: Cross-sectional-analytical study. Women diagnosed with polycystic ovary syndrome were excluded. Eating disorder was assessed with the EAT-26 questionnaire and socioeconomic position was measured using the MacArthur subjective social scale, parental education and household income. The general linear mode was used to determine the association between both variables. The results were presented in prevalence ratio. RESULTS: An association was determined between parental education and the lower probability of presenting risk of eating disorders in women (PRa 0.41 CI95% 0.17;0.96 p= 0.042), nor in the subjective socioeconomic position (PRa 0.38 CI95% 0.13;1.08 p=0.072). Also, it was found that 21.6% of the participants presented symptoms of eating disorders. CONCLUSIONS: An association was found between parental education and the risk of presenting risk of eating disorders in women. Although no association was found between income or subjective socioeconomic position and the risk of eating disorders, there is a prevalence of the risk of eating disorders in women.
