Social media that is heavily used in Saudi Arabia has been linked to a negative impact on body image satisfaction. The objective of the current study was to examine the burden, determinants, and impacts of Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) among a community sample of social media users in Saudi Arabia. The Internet-based cross-sectional study was conducted among social media users during January and February 2020. BDD was assessed using a validated BDD Questionnaire. A total of 1010 participants were included in the current analysis. A total of 42 (4.2%) met the criteria of BDD, with higher prevalence in younger participants. The defects of high concerns were skin disfigurements (64.2%) and hair issues (42.3%). BDD was significantly associated with spending a longer time on and and less interest in religious topics. BDD group was more likely to compare their appearance with famous people in social media. BDD group reported more harassment and more history of psychiatric problems. There is a need to educate the public about the risk of BDD and to promote safe social networking.
在沙特阿拉伯被大量使用的社交媒体已被证明与身体形象满意度的负面影响有关。本研究的目的是调查沙特阿拉伯社交媒体用户社区样本中身体变形障碍（BDD）的负担、决定因素和影响。这项基于互联网的横断面研究于2020年1月至2月期间在社交媒体用户中进行。使用经过验证的BDD问卷对BDD进行评估。本分析共纳入1010名参与者。共有42名（4.2%）符合BDD标准，年轻参与者中的患病率更高。高度关注的缺陷是皮肤缺陷（64.2%）和头发问题（42.3%）。BDD与在[具体社交媒体平台1]和[具体社交媒体平台2]上花费更长时间以及对宗教话题兴趣较低显著相关。BDD组更有可能在社交媒体上与名人比较自己的外貌。BDD组报告遭受更多骚扰且有更多精神疾病问题史。有必要对公众进行BDD风险教育并推广安全的社交网络。
