    Evaluar la Imagen Corporal Positiva (ICP) y su relación con la apreciación corporal, las actitudes corporales masculinas, los desórdenes alimenticios, las actitudes hacia la apariencia y el índice de masa corporal (IMC) en adolescentes de la Costa Caribe colombiana. Se realizó un estudio cuantitativo de corte transversal, donde la muestra estuvo conformada por 300 jóvenes entre los 13 y los 19 años. (M=16,44; DE= 1,82), 151 eran mujeres (50.3%) y 149 eran hombres (49.7%). El Índice De Masa Corporal (IMC) medio de los participantes fue 21,86 (DE = 3.65) el cual se encuentra en el rango normal. Todos los participantes eran estudiantes (de colegio y universitarios) de la ciudad de Barranquilla. Los mayores Índice de Masa Corporal (IMC) están relacionados con menor apreciación corporal, menor respeto por el propio cuerpo y menor resistencia a la presión de los medios. Además, aquellos adolescentes que realizaban una mayor actividad física reportaron una mejor imagen corporal. Además, una mayor Imagen Corporal Positiva se relaciona con la disminución de trastornos alimentarios y con la disminución de la influencia de las redes sociales. En todas las dimensiones analizadas podemos apreciar claramente el impacto beneficioso para el ser humano que tiene esta apreciación, y la necesidad de investigar más esta variable de la psicología en el contexto Latinoamericano para cubrir este vacío que actualmente existe en la investigación.

    Objective: To determinate the relationship between positive body image and body dissatisfaction, physical activity, internalization of beauty ideals presented by media and the Body Mass Index in adolescents from the Co-lombian Caribbean Coast.Method: A quantitative cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample consisted of 300 students from the city of Barranquilla (Colombia) between 13 and 19 years of age, 151 were female and 149 were male. Results: Higher positive body image was associated with more hours of physical activity, lower Body Mass Index, lower body dissatisfaction and lower internalization of beauty ideals. Females showed lower positive body image than males. The association of these variables allowed risk profiles for eating disorders in women. Positive body image was a significant pro-tective factor for body dissatisfaction in both men and women. Conclusion: This study has allowed us to deepen our knowledge of positive body image in a population that is underrepresented in international re-search, such as adolescents in Latin America
