The use of TikTok among children and adolescents with Eating Disorders: experience in a third-level public Italian center during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic
Open accessAbstract
Background: Recent research has documented the potential associations existing between the use of social media (SM) and the occurrence/development and treatment of Eating Disorders (ED). However, the literature directly addressing the use of SM TikTok among children and adolescents with ED is still scarce. Methods: In January–February 2021, during the second Italian national lockdown due to the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, an anonymous paper survey was conducted in an Italian third-level center for ED in childhood and adolescence. Demographics, frequency of use of TikTok, frequently viewed topics and hashtags, experienced body-shaming, as well as the use of TikTok (active search, use of proposed contents) and perceived influences of this SM on eating attitudes and self-esteem were assessed. Groups of patients with different perceived SM-induced effects were compared to determine the frequency of their interaction with 3 specific contents (diet, Pro-Anorexia Nervosa (pro-Ana) and pro-ED recovery). Results: Seventy-eight patients (93.6% females, mean age 14.5 ± 2.1 years) were enrolled in the study. For 62.8%, TikTok represented the main SM, used for 1.4 ± 1.0 h/day, with diet (21.8%) as the most frequently used topic category. Pro-Ana and pro-ED recovery contents (“#foryou” and “#edrecovery” as the most frequent, respectively) were both actively searched by patients and proposed by the SM in a significant number of cases. For 59.0%, using TikTok reduced self-esteem, while 26.9% reported TikTok-related significant changes in their daily lives, and 3.8% reported experiences of body-shaming. Patients describing a negative effect of TikTok on their self-esteem more frequently searched and browsed “diet” (p = 0.007) and pro-ED recovery (p = 0.007) contents. Positive qualitative feedback on the SM was also reported. Conclusions: This study documents the use of the SM TikTok among children and adolescents with ED. Individuals with a perceived negative effect of this SM on their self-esteem may show greater interaction with specific content. Further studies are needed to investigate the psychopathological factors influencing the relationship between ED and the use of SM.

The Introduction (page unavailable) describes TikTok users sharing eating-disorder recovery experiences and personal stories. It does not report that these accounts received millions of views or address accounts about the other listed conditions. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredTen studies differentiated the population between active and passive users, while only one conducted a content analysis of posts, hashtags, or videos.
“Given that, ten studies differentiated the population between active and passive users [42, 67, 70, 72, 74–79], while only one conducted a content analysis of the posts, hashtags, or videos [78].”

The Methods (Measures; page unavailable) describe a patient survey with open-ended questions about hashtags participants searched, and the Results (Hashtags and users’ comments; page unavailable) categorize and count those reported hashtags. This supports analysis of hashtag information, but not the claim that the study conducted a content analysis of TikTok posts or videos; the hashtags came from patient reports rather than a direct analysis of platform content. (LLM, conf=0.82)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMost of the review's studies reported negative effects of food-, diet- or weight-related contents on body image, increasing in users the perceived importance of their physical appearance to others.
“most of the review’s studies reported negative effects of food-, diet- or weight-related contents on body image [42, 71], increasing in users the perceived importance of their physical appearance to others [80].”

In Results > Hashtags and users’ comments (page unavailable), patients described videos about physical appearance as prompting comparisons and influencing beauty standards. The paper does not report that TikTok increased users’ perception that their appearance matters to others; its findings concern self-reported experiences among young patients with eating disorders.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
