<![CDATA[Adolescence is a transitional stage from childhood to adulthood characterized by physical, psychological, and social changes, as well as the search for self-identity, which may influence the development of body image and affect eating patterns. Based on Dorothy E. Johnson's Behavioral System Model, changes in body image can influence the balance of the behavioral system, particularly eating behavior. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between body image and eating patterns among adolescent social media users at MAN 2 Bojonegoro. This study employed a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 272 eleventh-grade students at MAN 2 Bojonegoro, with a sample of 162 respondents selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using the Body Shape Questionnaire (BSQ) and the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and were analyzed using the Spearman's Rank Correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05. The results showed that 93 respondents (57.4%) had a negative body image, while 91 respondents (56.2%) had poor eating patterns. The Spearman's Rank Correlation test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05) with a correlation coefficient of r = 0.517, indicating a statistically significant positive correlation of moderate strength. There was a significant relationship between body image and eating patterns among adolescent social media users at MAN 2 Bojonegoro. The higher the level of adolescents' satisfaction with their body image, the better their eating patterns. Healthcare professionals and schools are recommended to enhance education on developing a positive body image and adopting healthy eating patterns to promote healthy lifestyles among adolescents.]]>
