Abstract

Background: The fitness and wellbeing technology industry is growing rapidly. Concerns are emerging regarding whether these may increase disordered eating behaviours. This review is the first to systematically examine the relationship between fitness and diet tracker use and disordered eating in general and clinical populations.

Methods: The following databases were searched: EMBASE, Medline/PubMed, PsychInfo, CINAHL Plus, ERIC, SportDiscus, ASSIA, Social Science Premium, Sociological Abstracts, Sports Medicine and Educational Health, SCOPUS, Cochrane Library, and ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Global. Studies were selected using predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. A narrative synthesis was used, and results were reported by disordered eating outcome.

Results: Twenty-seven studies were included in the final review. Cross-sectional studies revealed reasonably consistent evidence of an association between disordered eating and fitness and diet tracker use, specifically regarding global disordered eating, dietary restraint, excessive exercise, and disordered muscle-orientated behaviour. However, this association was not replicated in experimental research.

Conclusion: While fitness and diet tracker use is a correlate of disordered eating, it is currently not possible to conclude if they increase disordered eating, or the direction of this relationship. Future research should determine the nature of this relationship and possible mechanisms to ensure their safe use in vulnerable populations.

使用健身和饮食跟踪技术与饮食紊乱行为之间的关系:系统综述。
背景:健身和健康技术行业正在迅速发展。越来越多的人担心这些药物是否会增加饮食失调的行为。这篇综述首次系统地研究了普通人群和临床人群中健康和饮食追踪器使用与饮食失调之间的关系。方法:检索EMBASE、Medline/PubMed、PsychInfo、CINAHL Plus、ERIC、SportDiscus、ASSIA、Social Science Premium、Sociological Abstracts、Sports Medicine and Educational Health、SCOPUS、Cochrane Library、ProQuest Dissertation and Theses Global等数据库。采用预先确定的纳入和排除标准选择研究。采用叙事综合法,结果以进食障碍结果报告。结果:最终综述纳入了27项研究。横断面研究显示,饮食失调与健康和饮食追踪器使用之间存在相当一致的关联,特别是在全球饮食失调、饮食限制、过度运动和肌肉导向行为紊乱方面。然而,这种关联并没有在实验研究中得到证实。结论:虽然健身和饮食追踪器的使用与饮食失调相关,但目前还无法得出它们是否会增加饮食失调,或者这种关系的方向。未来的研究应确定这种关系的性质和可能的机制,以确保它们在弱势群体中安全使用。
