Association Between Binge-Watching and Muscle Dysmorphia in Male University Students Who Are Gym Users in Lima, Peru, 2024Abstract
Introducción: El binge-watching (BW), definido como el consumo prolongado de series de televisión, y la dismorfia muscular (DM), caracterizada por una obsesión con la musculatura, son fenómenos emergentes con potenciales implicancias negativas en la salud física y mental. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la asociación entre el BW y la sintomatología relacionada con la DM en estudiantes universitarios varones usuarios de gimnasios de una universidad privada en Lima, Perú. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal analítico en 421 estudiantes universitarios varones usuarios de gimnasios de una universidad privada en Lima, Perú. Se recolectaron datos mediante encuestas autoaplicadas que midieron BW, la sintomatología relacionada con la DM y variables sociodemográficas, emocionales y conductuales. Se emplearon modelos de regresión lineal crudos y ajustados por edad, nivel socioeconómico, lugar de nacimiento, síntomas depresivos y tiempo de asistencia al gimnasio. Resultados: Se encontró una asociación significativa entre el BW y mayores puntajes en la escala MASS (β: 1.46; IC95%: 1.19;1.73; p<0.001), incluso tras el ajuste por variables confusoras. Asimismo, los síntomas depresivos severos se asociaron significativamente con mayores puntajes en la escala MASS, lo que indica mayor sintomatología relacionada con la DM. (β: 14.11; IC95%: 8.44;19.77; p<0.001). Conclusión: Los hallazgos sugieren que el BW se asocia con mayor sintomatología relacionada con la DM en estudiantes universitarios varones, lo que resalta la importancia de considerar el consumo de contenidos audiovisuales como un factor relevante en la salud mental y la percepción de la imagen corporal.Introduction: Binge-watching (BW), defined as the prolonged viewing of television series, and muscle dysmorphia (MD), characterized by an excessive concern with muscularity, are emerging phenomena with potential negative effects on physical and mental health. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between BW and symptoms related to MD in male university students who are gym users at a private university in Lima, Peru. Methods: Methods: An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted among 421 male university students who were gym users at a private university in Lima, Peru. Data were collected through self-administered questionnaires assessing BW, MD-related symptomatology, and sociodemographic, emotional and behavioral variables. Crude and adjusted linear regression models were used to evaluate the association between BW and MD-related symptomatology, adjusting for age, socioeconomic status, place of birth, depressive symptoms, and time attending the gym. Results: A significant association was found between BW and higher scores on the Muscle Appearance Satisfaction Scale (MASS) (β: 1.46; 95% CI: 1.19–1.73; p<0.001), even after adjusting for potential confounders. Additionally, severe depressive symptoms were significantly associated with higher MASS scores, indicating greater MD-related symptomatology (β: 14.11; 95% CI: 8.44–19.77; p<0.001). Conclusion: These findings suggest that BW is associated with higher levels of MD-related symptomatology among male university students, highlighting the importance of considering audiovisual content consumption as a relevant factor in mental health and body image perception in this population.
