The purpose of this study was to describe the user profile that draws on Instagram to follow nutrition-related content versus not, and to analyze the frequency and type of content of the information provided by nutritional influencers. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving randomly selected United States residents having an Instagram account was performed. Participants completed an anonymous online survey link. Results: From 898 respondents, 78.7% were women, and 75.6% were Millennials. Scientific evidence present in the posts was 14.3%. Influencers promoted a product or a brand in more than 90% of posts. Women followed more nutrition-related content than men (p < 0.001). Millennials, followed by Generation-Z, followed more nutrition-related content (p < 0.001). There were no significant relationships between the following status of nutrition-related content with BMI, type of job, household income, education degree, or smoking habits. Conclusions: Women and Millennials followed more nutrition-related content. Scientific evidence was scarce and commercial interest in the network was evident. The vast majority of the posts were not based on scientific evidence and instead promoted a product/supplement. info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 5.2 2022 FOOD SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY 34 / 142 = 0.239 2022 Q1 T1 0.771 2022 Food Science 2022 Q1 Health Professions (miscellaneous) 2022 Q1 Plant Science 2022 Q1 Microbiology 2022 Q2 Health (social science) 2022 Q2 5.8 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Vidal-Peracho, María Concepción Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0003-1444-7949 Lucha-López, María Orosia Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9930-3903 Hidalgo-García, César Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0001-7667-2178 Lucha-López, Ana Carmen Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-8399-130X Monti-Ballano, Sofía Universidad de Zaragoza Corral-de Toro, Jaime Universidad de Zaragoza Márquez-Gonzalvo, Sergio Tricás-Moreno, José Miguel Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-3583-5206 1006 255 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
