至少10年来，围绕男性健康的讨论在学术、政策和媒体文本中一直很明显。然而，最近的研究已经开始质疑一些关于男子气概和男性健康的假设，特别是在流行的媒体报道中。本论文以先前的研究为基础，通过询问英国一家全国性报纸(《观察家报》，2005年11月27日)最近的一篇专题文章对男性健康的构成进行了询问。使用语篇分析的技术对数据集进行了严格的审查。发现了几种相互关联的话语模式，这些模式利用了本质主义的男子气概概念，男性和女性之间毋庸置疑的差异，以及将男性构建为天真、被动和需要专门帮助的结构。讨论了这些陈述对健康促进的影响。(C)2006爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
The emergence of discourse around men's health has been evident now for at least 10 years across academic, policy and media texts. However, recent research has begun to question some of the assumptions presented concerning masculinity and men's health, particularly within popular media representations. The present paper builds on previous research by interrogating the construction of men's health presented in a recent special feature of a UK national newspaper (The Observer, November 27, 2005). The dataset was subjected to intensive scrutiny using techniques from discourse analysis. Several inter-related discursive patterns were identified which drew upon essentialist notions of masculinity, unquestioned differences between men and women, and constructions of men as naive, passive and in need of dedicated help. The implications of such representations for health promotion are discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
