OBJECTIVE
To evaluate the accountability of osteoporosis information available in selected mass-circulating women's magazines (n=8) and a sample of newspapers (n=2).
METHODS
Osteoporosis articles (n=132) were assessed for sources of information used, incidence/prevalence statistics, risks factors, and prevention measures.
RESULTS
Expert sources were highlighted in the majority of articles, whereas incidence/ prevalence statistics were described in less than half of the articles. Risk factors and prevention measures were outlined in most articles; however, much of the information presented was ambiguous and incomplete.
CONCLUSIONS
It appears that the reporting of osteoporosis in women's magazines and newspapers is not entirely balanced; thus, future coverage should provide greater detail when reporting risks and preventive measures.
目的
评估在选定的发行量较大的女性杂志（n = 8）和一份报纸样本（n = 2）中提供的骨质疏松症信息的可问责性。
方法
对132篇骨质疏松症文章进行评估，分析其信息来源、发病率/患病率统计数据、风险因素和预防措施。
结果
大多数文章强调了专家来源，而不到一半的文章描述了发病率/患病率统计数据。大多数文章概述了风险因素和预防措施；然而，所提供的许多信息含糊不清且不完整。
结论
女性杂志和报纸对骨质疏松症的报道似乎并不完全平衡；因此，未来的报道在报道风险和预防措施时应提供更多细节。
