The limitations of the study are the difficult
psychological condition of individuals who have
signs of eating disorders. They actively deny the
existing problem, therefore, identifying the
disorder and providing them with help requires
the active involvement of such persons in
cooperation. The issue of the extent at which
young people themselves determine distorted
media content regarding the body and beauty also
remains unexplored. Another unexplored issue is
whether young people who have problems with
body image and nutrition are actively looking for
unattainable ideals and standards in the media.
The prospects of the study include determining
gender peculiarities in the perception of one's
own body and manifestations of eating disorders.
It is also important to establish which media
channels most determine a distorted attitude
towards one's own appearance.
