“…In the present study, prolonged smartphone use was associated with more prevalent use of inappropriate weight loss strategies among both male and female adolescents. Previous studies also reported a higher prevalence of eating disorders and laxative intake associated with prolonged internet use 55 and internet addiction 41 in adolescents. These associations are consistent with the positive association we observed with BID, an important risk factor for weight loss behaviors, 18,20 suggesting that BID may be a possible link in the association between smartphone use and weight loss behaviors.…”

“…However, weight and appearance related esteem mediate the relationship between excessive time on SM and restrained eating across genders, and appearance esteem mediates the relationship between excessive time on SM and emotional eating for females (32).

Background: Although the etiology of eating disorders (ED) and disorder eating (DE) is multifactorial, exposure to highly visual social media (HVSM) may be an important contributor to the onset or worsening of DE and ED symptoms. We aim to understand HVSM use, ED, and DE with a particular focus on gender differences, as well as details of engagement on “selfies” in adolescents and young adults (AYA). Methods: We conducted a literature search in Psycho ED, PubMed, MEDLINE of articles, including participants with DE/ED and users of HVSM, focused on AYA. Studies in which the study population was not well-defined and the methodology to assess ED/HVSM use was not robust were excluded. Results: We found a strong association between HVSM and ED and DE with existing gender differences. The literature also shows specific mechanisms of use of these platforms involving “selfie” preparation and posting. The literature is limited in that the research is mostly cross-sectional with no uniform methodology and not well-defined participant populations. Conclusions: The use of unregulated and profit-driven SM platforms can increase risk for ED. To use these HVSM platforms for positive influence, there is a need to have more transparency, and involvement of clinicians, researchers, and educators. Public Significance: Due to HVSM’s popularity among the adolescent and young adult population, it is important to identify its effects on the prevalence of disordered eating and eating disorders, as well as recognize any gender differences in this relationship. Clinicians, parents and other adults working with youth should be aware of HVSM’s impact of DE/ED, as described by this review.

“…However, obese youths are hesitant to enter social environments because they are uncomfortable with their physical appearance and body images. 37 The internet environment is a good environment for socializing and it also allows people to reflect themselves differently. People with internet addiction may be more exposed to obesity risk factors such as consuming unhealthy foods, not performing physical activity, and disturbed sleep patterns.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between obesity and internet addiction in first-year university students (aged 18-25 years). Design The study was designed using a cross-sectional analytic model. Setting Data collection took place at Dokuz Eylul University, involving a diverse group of first-year students from different faculties. Subjects The study population comprised 12,365 students, with 2890 individuals selected using cluster sampling. Measures Internet addiction was evaluated using the Online Cognition Scale (OCS). Data on obesity-related variables and demographic details were collected through a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, chi-square analysis, t test, and ANOVA were applied for statistical evaluation. Results The study included 2105 participants, with 43.8% males and 56.2% females. A significant positive correlation was found between body mass index (BMI) and OCS scores ( P = .000), indicating a higher prevalence of internet addiction among individuals with higher BMI. Males had higher mean OCS scores (91.19 ± 35.14) than females (80.21 ± 30.51) ( P = .00). Overweight and obese individuals exhibited higher scores on OCS sub-dimensions ( P < .005). Notably, individuals with a BMI over 25 were categorized as overweight, and those with a BMI over 30 were classified as obese. Conclusions The findings demonstrate a noteworthy relationship between internet addiction and obesity among university students. The study emphasizes the necessity of increased attention to this issue in Turkey for the implementation of effective interventions and preventive measures.
