From the data the researchers found that participants who spent the most time on social media throughout the day had 2.2 times the risk of reporting eating and body image concerns compared to those who spent less time on social media, and those who spent more time checking social media during the week had 2.6 times the risk.
The results were also seen across all demographic groups with participants from every gender, age, race and income affected by the link between social media and eating and body image concerns.Putting forward an explanation for the strong link between social media and eating and body disorders lead author Jaime E. Sidani commented saying, “We’ve long known that exposure to traditional forms of media, such as fashion magazines and television, is associated with the development of disordered eating and body image concerns, likely due to the positive portrayal of ‘thin’ models and celebrities. Social media combines many of the visual aspects of traditional media with the opportunity for social media users to interact and propagate stereotypes that can lead to eating and body image concerns,” with senior author Brian A. Primack also adding that it is was still unclear whether social media use was causing eating and body image concerns, or vice versa — or both.
