目的：本研究探讨在网站上对四种疾病（心脏病、糖尿病、肺癌和抑郁症）提供医疗建议的基因和行为因果关系和预防。方法：检索来自各大卫生机构和信息门户网站的73条在线医疗推荐，对其内容进行分析，重点关注基因与环境关系的描述。结果：结果显示明显的优势行为的原因和建议。在提供遗传信息时，遗传和环境因素（包括行为）被描述为对健康结果的独立影响因素，而不是相互作用的。结论：这项研究表明，当遗传学在常见、复杂疾病的病因和预防的医学描述中出现时，应该考虑基因和行为的相互作用描述。
Purpose: This study examines the presentation of genetic and behavioral causation and prevention in websites that make medical recommendations to lay people for four diseases: heart disease, diabetes, lung lancer, and depression.Methods: A sample of 73 online medical recommendations from major health institutions and information portals were retrieved for content analysis, with a focus on the depiction of gene-environment relationships.Results: The results show a clear preponderance of behavioral causation and recommendations. When genetic information is presented, genetic and environmental factors (including behaviors) are depicted as independent contributors to health outcomes, rather than as interactive.Conclusion: This study suggests that interactive depictions of genes and behavior should be considered when genetics is presented in medical accounts of causation and prevention of common, complex diseases.
