METHODS: recipes posted in French on Instagram with the caption #healthy or similar ones were analyzed, once from February to May 2023 and again in April 2024. Health authorities\' guidelines and food pyramid inclusion criteria were used for the quantitative and qualitative analysis, respectively. Recipes were then classified as balanced, partially unbalanced or unbalanced, with the two subgroups \"restrictive\" and \"excessive\", and according to the main protein source.
RESULTS: we coded a total of 114 courses (2 datasets of 57 courses each). Among these, 3 were classified as balanced main courses, 45 as partially unbalanced main courses and 66 as unbalanced main courses (21 were deemed as restrictive, 21 as excessive and 24 were otherwise inadequate), with a majority of hypocaloric courses. Approximately half of the recipes were vegetarian or vegan.
CONCLUSIONS: these results suggest that food recipes published on Instagram as #healthy may, at times, be far from nutritional guidelines and could rather promote unbalanced eating patterns. This suggest that food-related content on SN might be insufficiently moderated and that recipes referenced as #healthy should perhaps be accompanied by warnings and preventive measures. This observation, in addition to other detrimental behaviors displayed on SN (e.g. extreme physical activity or body image pressure) may contribute to the increased incidence of eating disorders (ED) associated with problematic SN use. Alerts on this risk and accessible tools for the prevention and early detection of ED risk in SN users are urgently needed.
方法:在Instagram上用法语发布的食谱,标题为#健康或类似的食谱进行了分析,一次从2023年2月到5月,一次在2024年4月。卫生当局的指南和食品金字塔纳入标准被用于定量和定性分析,分别。然后将食谱分类为平衡的,部分不平衡或不平衡,有两个子组“限制性”和“过度”,根据主要蛋白质来源。
结果:我们共编码了114个课程(2个数据集,每个57个课程)。其中,3个被归类为平衡主菜,45门作为部分不平衡的主课,66门作为不平衡的主课(21门被认为是限制性的,21为过量,24为不足),大部分都是低热量的课程。大约一半的食谱是素食或素食。
结论:这些结果表明,在Instagram上发布的食物食谱#healthymay,有时,与营养指南相去甚远,更可能促进不平衡的饮食模式。这表明SN上与食物相关的内容可能没有得到充分的调节,被称为#健康的食谱也许应该伴随着警告和预防措施。这个观察,除了在SN上显示的其他有害行为(例如极端的身体活动或身体图像压力)之外,还可能导致与有问题的SN使用相关的进食障碍(ED)的发生率增加。迫切需要有关此风险的警报和可访问的工具,以预防和早期检测SN用户的ED风险。
