Denote by \(D_n\) the \(n\)-dimensional Euclidean unit ball and by \(\kappa_n\) its Lebesgue measure. According to \textit{B. Klartag} and \textit{V. D. Milman} [Invent. Math. 153, No. 3, 463--485 (2003; Zbl 1034.52008)], there exist universal positive constants \(c\) and \(C\) such that for each convex body \(K \subset \mathbb R^n\) with \(|K|=\kappa_n\), there exist \(3n\) Steiner symmetrizations that transform \(K\) into a body \(K'\) such that \(cD_n\subset K' \subset CD_n\). In this paper the author extends his result to the \(p\)-convex setting. More precisely, he proves in Theorem 1.2 that if \(K\subset \mathbb R^n\) is a \(p\)-convex set for some \(0<p<1\) with \(|K|=\kappa_n\), then there exist \(5n\) Steiner symmetrizations that transform the set \(K\) into a set \(K'\) such that \(c_pD_n\subset K'\subset C_p\), where \(c_p\) and \(C_p\) are positive constants depending only on \(p\).
