Objectives: The aim of this study was to exploratively analyze the role of social media in context Orthorexia Nervosa.
Methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed. Relevant studies were identified using MeSH Major Topic filter. Titles and abstracts were screened initially, followed up with full texts. Non-available full texts were excluded, due to budgetary constraints. Studies older than one year were excluded, to ensure topic’s current relevance. We, thus, analyzed four studies in this explorative investigation.
Results: The results suggest that constant exposure to nutrition, and idealized portrayals of body images on social media could be linked to a higher risk of developing Orthorexia Nervosa. Body images were often presented in an unrealistic or idealized manner, which could have increased the pressure to conform to these norms. Trends such as clean eating, fitspiration content and influencers promoting health-related trends probably also play a role. In this context, it emerges feasible that an initially health-promoting goal with time and/or exposure could shift towards idealized body image goal, all which requires further investigation. We were limited in analyzing only four publications, and the requirement to factor in non-results.
Conclusion: Orthorexic behavior could potentially be promoted by exposure to nutrition, and idealized portrayals body images on social media. To better understand the underlying mechanisms and effects, more comprehensive research is" /> Introduction: In recent years, there has been a growing interest in healthy nutrition as well as an increasing prevalence of orthorexic behavior. Social media could play a role in this development, as they disseminate dietary trends and body images. Thus, a risk of developing Orthorexia Nervosa, particularly among young adults, requires investigation.
