    Objetivo: En el presente trabajo se analiza la presencia de alteraciones alimentarias y la influencia que sobre ellas puede tener el grado de insatisfacci贸n corporal entre los adolescentes. M茅todo: Aplicando el Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40), el Sick Control On Fat Food (SCOFF) y la subescala de insatisfacci贸n corporal (BD) del Eating Disorders Inventory-2 (EDI-2) a 841 estudiantes, de 12 a 19 a帽os, se analizaron las conductas alimentarias de riesgo, se estudiaron las diferencias en funci贸n del sexo y la edad y se analiz贸 la relaci贸n de dichas conductas con el grado de insatisfacci贸n corporal. Resultados y discusi贸n: El 21,29% tuvo puntuaciones significativas en el SCOFF y el 7,13% en el EAT-40. Por sexos, hubo diferencias significativas (13,93% y 3,23% en SCOFF y EAT-40 para los varones, 29,38% y 10,70% para las mujeres). Con respecto a datos anteriores, se observa un descenso del riesgo en las mujeres y un incremento en los varones. Se observ贸 una mayor insatisfacci贸n corporal en las chicas de 12 a 17 a帽os, si bien la diferencia entre chicas y chicos, en alteraciones alimentarias, se centra en los 14-16 a帽os. La insatisfacci贸n corporal correlacion贸 positiva y significativamente con el 脥ndice de Masa Corporal, EAT-40 y SCOFF. Para implantar programas de prevenci贸n primaria en la poblaci贸n adolescente, es necesario conocer las conductas alimentarias de riesgo y el grado de insatisfacci贸n coporal, para poder plantear espec铆ficamente las intervenciones a llevar a cabo, involucrando al profesorado como agente primario de trabajo en el contexto escolar.Objective: This study examined the presence of disordered eating behaviours and the influence that on them could have the degree of body dissatisfaction among adolescents. Method: By the Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40), the Sick Control On Fat Food (SCOFF) and the subscale of body dissatisfaction (BD) of the Eating Disorders Inventory-2 (EDI-2) a total of 841 students, aged 12-19, were studied. Eating behaviours, sex and age differences, and eating attitudes and behaviours related to the degree of body dissatisfaction were analized. Results: We found that 21,29% had significant punctuations in the SCOFF and 7,13% in the EAT-40. There were significant sex-differences (13,93% and 3,23% in SCOFF and EAT-40 for males, 29,38% and 10,70% for women). With regard to previous studies, a decrease of the risk is observed in women and an increase in males. Major body dissatisfaction was observed among the 12 to 17-year-old girls, though sex-differences in eating alterations, can be mostly found between the ages of 14 and 16. Body dissatisfaction correlated positively and significantly to Body Mass Index, EAT-40 and SCOFF. Conclusion: In order to implement primary programs in the adolescent population it is necessary to explore the eating behaviours of risky and the degree of body dissatisfaction to be able to raise specifically the interventions to be carried out, involving teachers as primary agents for the work in the school context
