Study finds most social media posts about medical tests are misleading, often ignoring risks.
A recent study analyzed nearly 1,000 Instagram and TikTok posts about five controversial medical tests and found that most posts contained misleading information and only mentioned benefits, not risks.
Eighty-four percent of the posts promoted the tests, while only 15% highlighted potential harms.
The study also found that nearly 70% of influencers promoting these tests had a financial interest.
The tests include full-body MRI scans, genetic cancer testing, blood tests for testosterone, AMH tests for egg count, and gut microbiome assessments.
Researchers warn about the spread of health misinformation on social media.
