外刊精选｜社交媒体又惹祸？男孩患进食障碍比例攀升

【背景介绍】很多人以为，只有女孩才会有身材焦虑，或患上诸如厌食症、暴食症一类

的进食障碍。但最近，医生发现，男孩进食障碍的患病率呈上升趋势，且更不容易被周围人

察觉。研究者认为，这一趋势或许与男孩在社交媒体上浏览的内容有关。为何越来越多的男

孩开始患上进食障碍？社交媒体真的是罪魁祸首之一吗？

Boys Have Eating Disorders, Too. Doctors Think Social Media Is Making It Worse.

By Julie Jargon

Eating disorders are on the rise among boys, say doctors, who think images and videos on

social media are a factor.

Pediatric wards are seeing more eating-disorder cases overall, with boys making up an

increasing share of patients. Cases with boys are often more severe than with girls, the doctors say,

because boys' disorders often go unnoticed until they are far along.

Doctors and university researchers say social media is a contributing factor in boys' body

issues. Social-media algorithms push exercise videos and posts that research has found can lead to

disordered eating.

The causes of disordered eating are complex and varied, which is why doctors are careful to

point out that social media is but one factor. Kids may be influenced to lose weight based on

comments from people in their lives. In these cases, social media isn't necessarily the cause, but it

is an enabler.

A spokeswoman for Instagram-parent Meta Platforms Inc. said developers are looking into

ways to prevent people from focusing too much on one kind of content on their Explore page, by

nudging them to diversify what they're viewing.

The benefits of taking a nap.

Naps can charge your brain’s batteries

Taking a nap may make you more alert for the period right after you wake up and maybe

hours into the day. A short sleep may also make you feel more relaxed.

You’ll have lower risk for heart problems

Taking a nap once or twice a week could lower the risk of heart attacks or strokes, according

to a 2019 study published in the journal Heart.

After tracking more than 3,400 people between the ages of 35 and 75 for slightly more than

five years, the researchers found that those who indulged in occasional napping -- once or twice a

week, for five minutes to an hour -- were 48% less likely than those who didn’t nap to experience

a heart attack, stroke or heart failure.

It might even help you get into shape

A 2020 study focusing on women found the more sleep-deprived the women were, the more

likely they were to consume added sugar, fatty foods and caffeine.

A lack of quality sleep could lead to overeating because inadequate sleep is believed to

stimulate hunger and suppress hormone signals that communicate fullness. The findings were

important because women are at high risk for obesity and sleep disorders, the researchers said,

which can both be driven by a high intake of food. Napping has been found to improve the overall

quality of even nighttime sleep.

And boost your creativity

The right side of your brain might experience a mental spark during a nap, research has

suggested. The right side is the hemisphere most associated with creative tasks, such as

visualization and thinking, while the left is more analytic.

Researchers monitoring the brain activity of 15 people found that the right side of their brain

communicated busily with itself as well as with its left counterpart. The left side of the brain,

however, remained relatively quiet. In a January 2020 study of 2,214 Chinese adults ages 60 and

older, participants who took afternoon naps for five minutes to two hours showed better mental

agility than those who didn’t nap.

素之一。

【全文翻译】

男孩也有进食障碍。医生认为社交媒体使情况变得更糟。

医生认为，进食障碍的患病率在男孩群体中呈上升趋势，而社交媒体上的图片与视频是

影响因素之一。

总体来看，儿科病房里的进食障碍病例越来越多，男孩在患者中所占的比例也越来越大。

医生们说，男孩的症状通常比女孩更严重，因为男孩的进食障碍往往没人留意，直到他们患

病很长一段时间，才会被注意到。

医生和大学研究人员表示，社交媒体是男孩体型问题的影响因素之一。社交媒体算法还

会推送一些健身视频和帖子，研究发现，这些视频和帖子可能导致饮食紊乱。

导致饮食紊乱的原因复杂且多样，这就是为什么医生谨慎地指出社交媒体只是其中因素

之一。孩子们可能会受到生活中他人评价的影响而去减肥。在这些情况下，社交媒体不一定

是（导致孩子们出现饮食紊乱问题的）原因，但它纵容了饮食紊乱的发生。

Instagram母公司Meta Platforms的一位女发言人表示，开发者们正在寻找方法，通过推

动用户多样化地浏览内容，来防止人们在探索页面上太过专注于某一种内容。
