Algunos estudios señalan que los estudiantes de ballet presentan mayor riesgo de manifestar un trastorno alimentario. Este estudio se propone evaluar el grado de satisfacción con la imagen corporal en mujeres jóvenes estudiantes de ballet e identificar aquellos casos con riego de presentar trastorno alimentario. La investigación se realizó con una muestra conformada por 107 mujeres estudiantes de ballet entre 13 y 18 años de edad. Los sujetos completaron un cuestionario con el fin de recabar información sobre la edad, el nivel de educación alcanzado, la talla, el peso actual, el peso deseado y sintomatología propia de los trastornos alimentarios. Además, se evaluaron a los sujetos con el Eating Disorder Inventory -2 (EDI-2) y la Figure Scale (FS). Se identificó un 15.88% de las estudiantes de ballet con riesgo de presentar un trastorno alimentario. En una segunda etapa se tiene previsto entrevistar a los sujetos identificados con riesgo con el fin de determinar si se confirma el diagnóstico de trastorno de la conducta alimentaria.
