社交媒体，特别是在线减肥留言板社区，可能成为有关遗传学和体重信息的重要渠道。这些信息有能力影响个人，因为它在网上自然会遇到，或者可以为公共卫生目的进行战略传播。然而，人们对公众如何参与他们遇到的与体重遗传基础有关的信息，或者他们对这些信息的解释如何塑造健康信念知之甚少。目前的研究调查了专门讨论减肥的留言板社区中关于遗传和体重的讨论。54个在线讨论，包括505个单独的职位，从三个减肥为主题的留言板编码使用一个封闭的程序。在网上留言板社区讨论遗传学和体重的个人主要出于个人原因发起这些讨论，并主要引用大众媒体来源的信息。体重的遗传原因往往与行为原因一起得到认可。支持公益事业和表达沮丧之间没有联系。这些发现有助于阐明自然遇到的关于体重遗传学的信息的影响。它们也可能对创建在线循证工具产生影响，以鼓励积极的饮食和体育活动行为的方式帮助交流遗传进步。
Social media, specifically online weight loss message board communities, may become an important conduit for information about genetics and body weight. This information has the capacity to influence individuals as it is naturally encountered online, or could be strategically disseminated for public health purposes. However, little is known about how the public engages with information they encounter related to genetic underpinnings of body weight, or how their interpretation of this information shapes health beliefs. The current study examined discussions about genetics and weight in message board communities devoted to discussion of weight loss. Fifty-four online discussions, comprised of 505 individual posts from three weight loss-themed message boards were coded using a closed-ended procedure. Individuals who discussed genetics and weight in online message board communities initiated these discussions mainly for personal reasons and primarily cited mass media-sourced information. Genetic causes of weight tended to be endorsed alongside behavioral causes. There was no association between cause endorsements and expressed frustration. These findings help elucidate the effects of naturally-encountered information about genetics of weight. They may also have implications for the creation of online evidence-based tools to aid communication about genetic advances in ways that encourage positive dietary and physical activity behavior.
