Abstract

Purpose of review: Obesity and eating disorders share common issues related to media use and effects, especially in the USA. Current research increasingly demonstrates that media literacy can address this problem. This narrative review highlights current media literacy-based research for obesity and eating disorder prevention among youth.

Recent findings: Current research using media literacy techniques to prevent obesity indicates that these interventions improve nutrition outcomes, improve family communication about food, improve critical thinking about food advertisements, reduce sugar and fat intake, and reduce screen use for parents and youth. In addition, eating disorder research reveals that media literacy techniques lead to higher scores of body satisfaction and self-esteem, with lower scores of perfectionism, thinness, and ideal masculinity. There is a need for media literacy-based interventions to focus on family communication to prevent obesity and eating disorders. Furthermore, there should be more focus on identified levels of prevention and specific clinical outcomes.

预防青少年肥胖和饮食失调的媒体扫盲实践。
审查目的:肥胖症和饮食失调症有着与媒体使用和影响相关的共同问题,尤其是在美国。目前的研究越来越多地表明,媒介素养可以解决这一问题。这篇叙述性综述重点介绍了当前基于媒介素养的预防青少年肥胖症和饮食失调症的研究:目前利用媒体扫盲技术预防肥胖症的研究表明,这些干预措施可以改善营养状况,改善家庭在食物方面的沟通,提高对食品广告的批判性思维,减少糖和脂肪的摄入,减少父母和青少年使用屏幕。此外,饮食失调研究显示,媒体扫盲技术可提高身体满意度和自尊心的得分,降低完美主义、瘦弱和理想男子气概的得分。有必要采取以媒体扫盲为基础的干预措施,重点关注家庭沟通,以预防肥胖和饮食失调。此外,还应更加关注已确定的预防水平和具体的临床结果。
