Here is the translated text with the HTML tags preserved: "Dream - Scrolling through TikTok, Instagram, or other social media for hours about weight loss might often be something we do. Especially when we really want to lose weight. It turns out this can be very dangerous. A new study found that consuming weight loss content on TikTok continuously can be very harmful to mental health. Spending time on these social media platforms, especially when watching pro-anorexia content, can damage the self-esteem of young women and increase the risk of eating disorders, according to research from Charles Sturt University in Australia."
"Our study shows that less than 10 minutes of exposure to pro-anorexia content on TikTok, both implicitly and explicitly, has a direct negative impact on body image and internalization of appearance ideals," said the researchers about their findings, which were published in the journal PLOS ONE as quoted by NYPost.
"The TikTok application has more than one billion monthly active users worldwide. In this study, researchers analyzed first-year students in Australia, with most of the recruited women not completing the initial questionnaire. Ultimately, as many as 273 women aged 18 to 28 met the requirements to participate."
The survey participants were asked about their use of TikTok regarding the ideal body shape and their attitudes towards beauty standards, while the researchers looked for symptoms of eating disorders and assessed their risk for orthorexia or unhealthy obsession with "real" or "healthy" food.
"Half of the participants then watched TikTok content that lasted seven to eight minutes about eating disorders, including young women demonstrating extreme ways to lose weight. Such as fasting, giving tips like eating ice cubes and chewing gum to suppress hunger, or promoting exercise while showcasing their slim waists."
"Woman who use TikTok for more than two hours a day report more eating disorder behaviors, although researchers state that this pattern is not significant."
"To address this issue, the study authors recommend tighter controls and regulations on pro-anorexia content, eating disorders, and body-related content on TikTok."
"There are steps being taken to remove harmful content, including blocking searches like '#anorexia,' however, there are various ways for users to evade this control and further regulation is needed," wrote the researchers. Source: NYPost.
