This study aimed to investigate whether there is a relation, as well as its configuration, between the dissatisfaction with body image and the occurrence of disordered eating behaviors in undergraduate female students. For this purpose, an integrative review was conducted in the Lilacs, Scielo, PMC and PubMed indexed databases in January and February 2019, by means of DeCS and BVL terms: feeding/ eating behavior, college/ university students, body dissatisfaction, and eating habits. The search resulted in 433 references with a final sample of 21 articles, which underwent summarization, and evidenced not only that body dissatisfaction is a potent component for the adoption of high-risk eating habits, but also that women face great social pressure regarding their weight and body shape.

Celebrities are well-known individuals who receive extensive public and media attention. There is an increasing body of research on the effect of celebrities on body dissatisfaction and disordered eating. Yet, there has been no synthesis of the research findings. A systematic search for research articles on celebrities and body image or eating disorders resulted in 36 studies meeting inclusion criteria. Overall, the qualitative, correlational, big data, and experimental methodologies used in these studies demonstrated that exposure to celebrity images, appearance comparison, and celebrity worship are associated with maladaptive consequences for individuals’ body image.
