The perception of obesity and the ideal body image has evolved over time, largely due to social norms that are not always guided by scientific knowledge. The use of social media for health promotion is an emerging area of investigation. Preliminary research suggests that they have the potential to both serve as a platform for combating the stigma of obesity and promoting positive body image. But there is also evidence that supports the contrary. In particular, the dissemination of digitally altered images that convey ideals of the slim female form can be detrimental to physical and psychological health. Further research is needed to determine how best to use social networks and media as a health promotion tool.
对肥胖和理想身体形象的认知随时间而演变，这在很大程度上归因于并非总是由科学知识引导的社会规范。利用社交媒体促进健康是一个新兴的研究领域。初步研究表明，它们有潜力既作为一个对抗肥胖污名化和促进积极身体形象的平台。但也有证据支持相反的观点。特别是，传播传达苗条女性体型理想形象的数字修改图像可能对身心健康有害。需要进一步研究以确定如何最好地利用社交网络和媒体作为促进健康的工具。
