Descriptive analysis, the chi-square test, Fisher’s exact test, and crude and adjusted multinomial regression were used. Results: The prevalence of body image dissatisfaction was 69.5%; 44.1% were dissatisfied with excess weight. BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 was associated with dissatisfaction with excess weight; factors associated with dissatisfaction with slimness were being male, eating an unhealthy diet, and smoking tobacco. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that female college students with a BMI ≥ 25.0 kg/m2 are more likely to present dissatisfaction with excess weight. Being male, eating an unhealthy diet, engaging in physical activity for < 739.61 min/week and smoking tobacco were the variables associated with dissatisfaction with thinness. 2013 artículo científico 2237-6089 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=311028935005 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3110 Trends in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy application/pdf Associação de Psiquiatria do Rio Grande do Sul Trends in Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.35
