Summary
This study looked at whether children with cancer who watch mukbang (eating shows) have better appetite during hospital treatment. Researchers tracked 179 children's eating habits and video watching over several days. The goal was to see if there's a link that could help improve nutrition and quality of life, but no treatment was tested.
