Exploring the Link between Mindful Eating, Instagram Engagement, and Eating Disorders: A Focus on Orthorexia Nervosa
Open accessAbstract
Mindful eating is an increasingly popular dietary practice that may mediate the symptomatology of eating disorders. Orthorexia nervosa is a recently proposed eating disorder characterized by excessive concern for body image, healthy eating, and calorie control. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between mindful eating, Instagram engagement, and eating disorders, with a focus on orthorexia nervosa. This cross-sectional study involving 407 adults explored the interplay between mindful eating, psychological distress, and eating disorders, notably orthorexia nervosa and their association with Instagram use. The data extraction and analysis were conducted employing SPSS v28 and R-Statistics. Utilizing Mindful Eating Scale (MES-16), Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire Short (EDE-QS), Orthorexia Nervosa Questionnaire-Revised (ORTO-R), and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-21) validated scales, alongside inquiries into Instagram usage, significant correlations emerged. MES-16 demonstrated a robust negative association with both EDE-QS (r = −0.501, p < 0.001) and ORTO-R (r = −0.519, p < 0.001), while EDE-QS and ORTO-R showed significant correlations with depression, anxiety, and stress (p < 0.001). Variations in ORTO-R mean scores were notably distinct across different mindful eating adherence categories (p < 0.001), emphasizing the negative relationship between mindful eating and orthorexia nervosa. Additionally, participants with extensive daily Instagram use displayed significantly higher ORTO-R scores compared to minimal users (p < 0.05). These findings suggest a negative link between mindful eating with eating disorders and orthorexia nervosa, highlighting mindful eating’s potential role in reducing orthorexia nervosa tendencies. Furthermore, Instagram use seems associated with psychological distress and elevated orthorexia nervosa levels.

Study findings exploring the relationship between mindful eating and eating disorder risk are limited.
“In these studies, eating disorder risk is negatively associated with mindfulness, but study findings exploring the relationship between mindful eating and eating disorder risk are limited [33, 34, 36].”

The Discussion (page unavailable) calls this the first known study of mindful eating, Instagram use, and eating disorders with a focus on orthorexia in a Greek population. That supports a narrow research gap, but not the broader claim that findings on mindful eating and eating-disorder risk generally are limited. (LLM, conf=0.78)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredMost existing studies have focused on single mindfulness dimensions, clinical samples, or intervention-based contexts, leaving gaps in understanding how these variables operate in general adult populations [31, 33, 36].

The Discussion (page unavailable) calls this the first known study of mindful eating, Instagram use, and eating disorders in a Greek population, and the Subjects section reports a sample of 407 adults. That supports a gap for this particular combination of variables, but the paper does not establish that most existing studies focused on single mindfulness dimensions, clinical samples, or interventions, or that the same gap applies to general adult populations broadly.

The Discussion reports a negative correlation between mindful eating and eating disorders and says it is consistent with previous research. It does not establish that studies of the mindful-eating–eating-disorder-risk relationship are generally limited; its claim to be the first known study concerns the narrower combination of mindful eating, Instagram use, and eating disorders in a Greek population. (LLM, conf=0.83)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredEarlier studies found that mindful eating was associated with lower eating disorder risk in non-clinical samples.
“This is in accordance with earlier studies in which mindful eating was associated with lower eating disorder risk in non-clinical samples [33, 34].”

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.
