Abstract
The impact of social media on the lives of young people is still not well?defined. Several studies that have attempted to describe the effects of Facebook have produced mixed results. The following comments are based on the article: “Facebook addiction among health university students in Bengaluru” by Ramesh Masthi NR, Cadabam SR, Sonakshi S. in Int J Health Allied Sci 2015;4:18–22.[1] The article presents a lot of useful information on how Facebook has affected the lives of students of health?related courses. Although the “Facebook addiction scale” was pretested, some variables do not have enough weight to be included as criteria for measuring Facebook addiction.
