Associations Between Mukbang Watching and Appetite, Nutrition, and Quality of Life in Pediatric Patients with Cancer: Intensive Longitudinal Study
To explore the impact of mukbang viewing on appetite, nutritional status, and quality of life in pediatric cancer patients through an intensive longitudinal study.
Key Findings:
Malnutrition affects up to 75% of children with cancer due to low dietary intake and excessive disease-related energy expenditure.
Mukbang viewing may stimulate appetite and improve food intake among pediatric patients with cancer.
Long-term mukbang watching may have adverse health effects, including disordered eating behaviors.
Interpretation:
Limitations:
The study may be limited by the convenience sampling method.
Exclusion criteria may limit the generalizability of findings.
Conclusion:
Further research is needed to clarify the effects of mukbang viewing on appetite and nutritional intake in pediatric cancer patients.
