This study aimed to identify the relationship between social media usage and examine risk factors (Fear of Missing out and Risk of Neglect) on social media usage, and the overall quality of life and mental health among individuals actively using social media networks. An online cross-sectional study was conducted in three cities in Vietnam (Hanoi, Tuyen Quang, and Can Tho) from September through to October 2021. A structured questionnaire assessed for characteristics of social media use and other associated factors. 1891 participants were recruited, with 98.4% having access to social media. s. Factors like \u201cPHQ-9 score\u201d, \u201cProblematic Internet use\u201d, and \u201cTime average used social media per day\u201d, were negatively associated with the EQ5D5L Index. By contrast, \u201cGender\u201d, and \u201cUsing smartphone\u201d were positive factors of the EQ5D5L Index. \u201cFOMO score\u201d and \u201cself-harm and suicide\u201d were positive factors of the PHQ-9 score while \u201cUsing smartphone\u201d was negative. In terms of self-harm and suicide, \u201cFOMO score\u201d and \u201cProblematic Internet use\u201d were positive factors, by contrast, \u201cUsing smartphone\u201d was a negative factor. This is the first study to examine social media addiction among Vietnamese adolescents, its relationship with FOMO score, stresses associated with rejection and neglect, and the overall quality of life. Our results highlighted there is a relationship between FOMO score and impaired overall quality of life, increased depressive symptoms, and an association between stresses relating to negative rejection and FOMO score.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0286766","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]],"date-time":"2023-06-07T17:31:59Z","timestamp":1686159119000},"page":"e0286766","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":72,"title":["Quality of life and mental health of adolescents: Relationships with social media addiction, Fear of Missing out, and stress associated with neglect and negative reactions by online peers"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4728-160X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Vu Anh Trong","family":"Dam","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nam Gia","family":"Dao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Duy Cao","family":"Nguyen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Thuc Minh Thi","family":"Vu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurent","family":"Boyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pascal","family":"Auquier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Fond","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Roger C.
