In this study, we focus on the information available in WeChat official accounts about cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), which are a leading cause of death in China. We are particularly interested in information targeting the Chinese Hui minority people, who have a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs). Our exploratory research therefore investigates whether and how the articles on WeChat official accounts are targeted at the Hui people. We used a qualitative approach to analyze 108 articles. Two related themes emerged: descriptions of how to live a healthy life; and explanations of CVDs and CVRFs. Traditional Chinese medicine likewise surfaced from the analysis as a specific and unique theme in the Chinese social and cultural context. Despite the high prevalence of CVRFs among the Hui, none of the articles included information tailored to them.
在本研究中，我们聚焦于微信公众号上有关心血管疾病（CVDs）的可用信息，心血管疾病是中国主要的死因。我们尤其关注针对中国回族人群的信息，该人群心血管危险因素（CVRFs）的患病率较高。因此，我们的探索性研究调查了微信公众号上的文章是否以及如何针对回族人群。我们采用定性方法分析了108篇文章。出现了两个相关主题：关于如何健康生活的描述；以及对心血管疾病和心血管危险因素的解释。在分析中，中医同样作为中国社会文化背景下一个特定且独特的主题浮现出来。尽管回族人群中心血管危险因素的患病率很高，但没有一篇文章包含针对他们的定制信息。
