This systematic review examined research on possible links between vaping and eating disorders. Thirteen studies met the criteria for inclusion.
Several studies found associations between vaping and conditions or behaviours such as binge eating, bulimia, anorexia, purging and fasting. However, most studies were cross-sectional, so the review cannot show which came first or prove that vaping causes eating disorders.

View Original SourceVaping and eating disorders are both important concerns among adolescents and young adults. Understanding whether these behaviours commonly occur together may help healthcare professionals identify people who need support.
The findings should not be interpreted as proof that vaping causes an eating disorder.
The review suggests that vaping prevention and mental-health or eating-disorder programmes may need to be aware that these behaviours can occur together.
The findings support further research into vaping and eating-related behaviours, particularly among young people.
Long-term studies are needed before strong conclusions about cause and effect can guide policy.
اس منظم جائزے میں 13 مطالعات کو شامل کیا گیا۔ کئی مطالعات میں ویپنگ اور کھانے کی عادات سے متعلق مسائل، جیسے بہت زیادہ کھانا، جان بوجھ کر کھانا نکالنا، کھانے سے گریز کرنا یا وزن کم کرنے کے غیر صحت مند طریقوں کے درمیان تعلق دیکھا گیا۔
لیکن زیادہ تر تحقیق ایک ہی وقت پر لوگوں کا جائزہ لینے والی تھی۔ اس لیے یہ کہنا درست نہیں کہ ویپنگ ان مسائل کی وجہ بنتی ہے۔ اس تعلق کو بہتر طور پر سمجھنے کے لیے طویل مدت کی مزید تحقیق ضروری ہے۔
