肌肉畸形是一种心理健康状况，患者认为自己的身体比实际情况弱小。 It’s a form of Body Dysmorphic Disorder, and recent research shows that social media could have a major influence on this condition.Prevalence of muscle dysmorphia is not well understood, though it mostly affects men.研究表明 1.7% 至 2.4% 的人可能符合该标准。 In Canada, experts found that one in four of 2,000 adolescent participants in a study were at clinical risk of muscle dysmorphia.“Overall, our findings emphasize that many young people are striving for muscularity, resulting in significant levels of distress, which counters popular narratives that only thinness-oriented body image concerns and behaviors are problematic,” study author Kyle Ganson, assistant professor at the University of Toronto, said in a statement. Likes and Comments Could Influence Muscle DysmorphiaSocial media could have some part to play in the growing concern around muscle dysmorphia, and researchers are starting to analyze the frequent exposure to the “ideal” physique.Buff movie stars, athletes, or influencers are potentially worsening the problem, according to some health experts. Teenagers are considered particularly at risk.“Men are often exposed to hyper-muscular ideals online, particularly through fitness and celebrity content,” study co-author John Mingoia, and a lecturer at the University of South Australia, said in a statement. “When these posts attract a high volume of likes and positive comments, they reinforce the message that this is the body standard that men should strive for.”One study found an association between frequent use of image filters and symptoms. Another recent paper surveyed around 100 men in Australia, asking questions such as how often they view fitness or fashion content and the value they place on likes and comments on content.研究人员发现，那些高度重视接收的人
