We aimed to evaluate the relationship between social media addiction and eating disorders in the followers of social media influencer.
The study (n=561) was conducted with 112 men and 449 women, who follow a social media influencer and volunteered to participate in the study. Social media addiction scale for adults form (SMAS-AF) was used to evaluate the social media addiction, and ORTO-15 scale was used to determine the eating disorders.
80.9% of the participants had orthorexia nervosa and 19.1% were normal. BMI and social media addiction scale total score were significantly higher than optimal rates and ORTO-15 total score was significantly low (<0.05). Age, anthropometric measurements, sub-scores of SMAS-AF and clinical domain sub-score of orthorexia nervosa were significantly different between the groups (<0.05). It was significantly found that the emotional domain sub-score increased as the virtual tolerance score and virtual communication score increased (<0.05). A relationship was found between the total score of the social media addiction scale and the emotional domain sub-score (<0.05).
Social media use may negatively affect individuals' eating behaviors and contribute to body image dissatisfaction.
我们旨在评估社交媒体影响者的关注者中社交媒体成瘾与饮食失调之间的关系。
该研究（n = 561）纳入了112名男性和449名女性，他们关注一名社交媒体影响者并自愿参与研究。使用成人版社交媒体成瘾量表（SMAS - AF）评估社交媒体成瘾情况，并用ORTO - 15量表确定饮食失调情况。
80.9%的参与者患有神经性正食癖，19.1%为正常。体重指数和社交媒体成瘾量表总分显著高于最佳水平，而ORTO - 15总分显著较低（<0.05）。两组之间的年龄、人体测量指标、SMAS - AF子分数以及神经性正食癖的临床领域子分数存在显著差异（<0.05）。研究发现，随着虚拟耐受分数和虚拟交流分数的增加，情感领域子分数显著升高（<0.05）。社交媒体成瘾量表总分与情感领域子分数之间存在关联（<0.05）。
使用社交媒体可能会对个体的饮食行为产生负面影响，并导致对身体形象的不满。
