Dating app users more likely exhibit unhealthy weight control behaviors
Swipe left or swipe right? With a few images and a short bio to appeal to prospective partners, dating apps have undoubtedly put a focus on users’ physical appearance.

The research is published today in the Journal of Eating Disorders.
