Description
Sophie Boutouis and Jon Grant wrote a study in two thousand twenty-five on the link between problem internet use and an obsession with healthy eating. The eating pattern is called orthorexia nervosa, an excessive focus on eating purely. Problem internet use already ties to eating disorder symptoms, but its link to this pattern was little studied.
Three hundred United States adults took an online survey. Women scored higher on the orthorexia measure than men. Problem internet scores predicted orthorexia scores even after age, sex, and eating disorder history were taken into account. The survey also covered activities such as gaming, shopping, and health searching.
