The role of traditional media (television and magazines) in creating eating disorder risk has long been a topic of discussion and research, but the proliferation of social media and rapid increase in the use of the Internet by adolescents generates new dynamics and new risks for the development and maintenance of eating disorders. Recent research describes the relationship between Internet and social media use and eating disorders risk, with the greatest associations found among youth with high levels of engagement and investment in photo-based activities and platforms. Here, we review different types of online content and how they are relevant to eating disorders and consider the theoretical frameworks predicting relationships between Internet and social media and eating disorders, before examining the empirical evidence for the risks posed by the online content in the development and maintenance of eating disorders. We describe proeating disorder content specifically and examine the research related to it; we then consider the implications of such content, highlight directions for future research, and discuss possible prevention and intervention strategies.
传统媒体（电视和杂志）在引发饮食失调风险方面的作用一直是讨论和研究的主题，但社交媒体的普及以及青少年对互联网的使用迅速增加，为饮食失调的发展和维持带来了新的动态和新的风险。最近的研究描述了互联网和社交媒体使用与饮食失调风险之间的关系，在高度参与和投入基于照片的活动和平台的年轻人中发现了最大的关联。在这里，我们回顾了不同类型的在线内容以及它们与饮食失调的关系，并考虑了预测互联网和社交媒体与饮食失调之间关系的理论框架，然后检查了在线内容在发展和维持饮食失调方面所带来的风险的实证证据。我们专门描述了有利于饮食失调的内容，并研究了与之相关的内容；然后我们考虑了这种内容的影响，强调了未来研究的方向，并讨论了可能的预防和干预策略。
