Description

Hongyu Wu and nine co-authors grade fatty liver videos on TikTok in two countries. Their 2024 study compares the American and Chinese versions of the app. The disease is common and rising in both nations. Short videos now spread much of the public's health information.

The top one hundred videos on each version were scored for quality and trust. American videos scored higher on one reliability scale. Other quality scores ran about even. Videos by medical workers beat lay uploads on every scale. Popularity, though, did not track quality at all. The authors call the supply acceptable but mediocre in reliability. Credentials, not likes, mark the safer videos.
