Tujuan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh citra tubuh terhadap perilaku makan dan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT) pada siswi SMA Negeri 12 Jakarta Timur kelas X dan XI tahun 2014. Metode. Penelitian ini dilakukan pada bulan April-Mei 2014 dengan desain cross sectional, sampel penelitian adalah 238 siswi. Analisis data menggunakan analisis jalur. Hasil. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapatnya pengaruh citra tubuh terhadap IMT melalui perilaku makan dan aktivitas fisik, membuktikan bahwa citra tubuh tidak langsung berpengaruh terhadap IMT, namun masih harus dilihat bagaimana perilaku makan serta aktivitas fisik yang dilakukan oleh responden.
