(1) Background: Teenagers (in particular, females) suffering from eating disorders report being not satisfied with their physical aspect and they often perceive their body image in a wrong way; they report an excessive use of websites, defined as PRO-ANA and PRO-MIA, that promote an ideal of thinness, providing advice and suggestions about how to obtain super slim bodies. (2) Aim: The aim of this review is to explore the psychological impact of pro-ana and pro-mia websites on female teenagers. (3) Methods: We have carried out a systematic review of the literature on PubMed. The search terms that have been used are: "" AND "" OR "" AND "". Initially, 161 publications were identified, but in total, in compliance with inclusion and exclusion criteria, 12 studies have been analyzed. (4) Results: The recent scientific literature has identified a growing number of Pro Ana and Pro Mia blogs which play an important role in the etiology of anorexia and bulimia, above all in female teenagers. The feelings of discomfort and dissatisfaction with their physical aspect, therefore, reduce their self-esteem. (5) Conclusion: These websites encourage anorexic and bulimic behaviors, in particular in female teenagers. Attention to healthy eating guidelines and policies during adolescence, focused on correcting eating behavioral aspects, is very important to prevent severe forms of psychopathology with more vulnerability in the perception of body image, social desirability, and negative emotional feedback.
(1) 背景：患有饮食失调症的青少年（尤其是女性）对自己的身体状况不满意，他们常常对自己的身体形象有错误的认知；他们过度使用被定义为支持厌食症（PRO-ANA）和支持暴食症（PRO-MIA）的网站，这些网站宣扬一种以瘦为美的理想，并提供如何获得超级苗条身材的建议和提示。(2) 目的：本综述旨在探讨支持厌食症和暴食症的网站对女性青少年的心理影响。(3) 方法：我们在 PubMed 上进行了系统的文献回顾。使用的搜索词是："" AND "" OR "" AND "。最初确定了 161 篇出版物，但最终，根据纳入和排除标准，共分析了 12 项研究。(4) 结果：最近的科学文献已经确定了越来越多的支持厌食症和暴食症的博客，这些博客在厌食症和暴食症的病因学中起着重要作用，尤其是在女性青少年中。因此，对身体状况的不适和不满会降低他们的自尊心。(5) 结论：这些网站鼓励厌食症和暴食症行为，尤其是在女性青少年中。在青少年时期关注健康饮食指南和政策，注重纠正饮食行为方面，对于预防严重的心理病理问题非常重要，因为这些问题使他们对身体形象的感知、社交期望和负面情绪反馈更加脆弱。
