Comparative analysis of NAFLD-related health videos on TikTok: a cross-language study in the USA and China
The quality of NAFLD related short videos on TikTok is acceptable, but the reliability is mediocre, and there is still room for improvement. The videos published by USA medical practitioners are more reliable than those of Chinese medical practitioners. The most concerned topic of both countries is diet. The TikTok recommendation algorithm may limit access to high-quality health videos, and further research on other platforms and languages is necessary.
