El objetivo de esta investigación ha sido analizar la relación entre la alimentación, el autoconcepto y la imagen corporal. La muestra esta compuesta por 1.147 personas divididas en tres grupos: adolescentes (N = 627), jóvenes (N = 272) y adultos (N = 248). Los resultados indican una clara relación entre la buena percepción de la alimentación, el autoconcepto y la imagen corporal en los tres grupos analizados.
