Résumé
Previous studies investigating the impact of social media influencers on food consumption are limited. Therefore, this study explores the influence of social media on people's health choices to understand the consequences of food consumption among the Saudi community. A cross-sectional study using an online survey was conducted in Saudi Arabia between 24 June and 20 July 2021. A convenience sample of eligible participants was used to recruit the study participants. A 32-items questionnaire was distributed via social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram). In addition, significant predictors of people being affected by social media to change diet and living with obesity were determined using binary logistic regression. A total of 1124 participants were involved in this study. More than half of them (57.8%) were females and aged below 40 years (57.4%). The study participants' median body mass index (BMI) was 27.4 kg/m This study showed that social media might influence the food consumption manner in the Saudi population.
