Abstract
La presente investigación tiene como objetivo conocer la relación entre insatisfacción
corporal y sintomatología depresiva en mujeres jóvenes de Lima, así como también explorar
si existe alguna relación entre los constructos mencionados y el índice de masa corporal
(IMC). Para ello, se contó con la participación de 129 mujeres, entre los 18 y 25 años (M
=20.52, DE =1.85), a quienes se les aplico el Body Shape Questionnaire (Castrillón et al.,
2007) para medir la insatisfacción corporal y la Escala de Depresión del Centro
Epidemiológico (Ruiz-Grosso et al., 2012) para medir la sintomatología depresiva, así como
también se les solicito su altura y peso actual para calcular el IMC. En cuanto a los
resultados, se encontró una relación directa y significativa entre la insatisfacción corporal y
la sintomatología depresiva. Contrario a ello, no se halló relación alguna entre insatisfacción
corporal e IMC, ni sintomatología depresiva e IMC. Finalmente, se halló una diferencia
significativa entre el peso real y el peso ideal brindado por las participantes. En base a los
resultados, se concluye que existe una correlación entre la insatisfacción corporal y la
sintomatología depresiva, así como también que ambos constructos afectan la calidad de
vida generando un impacto negativo en la salud mental.

For it, 129 women between 18 and 25 years old (M = 20.52 SD = 1.85) were evaluated through the Body Shape Questionnaire (Castrillón et al., 2007) that measures the corporal discontent and the Depression Scale of the Epidemiological Center (Ruiz-Grosso et al., 2012) that calculates depressive symptoms, as well as their height and current weight were requested to calculate the BMI. In regard to the results, a direct and significant relationship between body dissatisfaction and depressive symptomatology was found. On the contrary, no relationship was found between body dissatisfaction and BMI, depressive symptomatology, and BMI. Finally, a significant difference was found between the actual weight and the ideal weight provided by the participants. Based on the results, we concluded that there is a correlation between body dissatisfaction and depressive symptomatology, and that both affects the quality of life generating a negative effect on mental health.
