The objective of this study was to examine whether the use and addiction of social networks
are associated with disordered eating in Spanish adolescents. A cross-sectional study was
carried out using data from the Eating Healthy and Daily Life Activities study. The fnal
sample included 653 adolescents (44.0% boys). Social network use (i.e., Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok) was evaluated by a single item scale with multiple response
options. The Short Social Networks Addiction Scale-6 Symptoms was used to determine
addiction to social networks. Disordered eating behaviors were assessed with the Sick, Control, One, Fat, Food scale. Adolescents with high social network use had greater odds of
disordered eating (odds ratio [OR]=1.88, 95% confdence intervals [CI] 1.17–3.02). Adolescents with high social network addictive behaviors also showed a higher likelihood of
presenting disordered eating (OR=2.04, 95% CI 1.34–3.12). Social network use and addiction must be considered factors related to disordered eating among adolescents. [--]
