Health articles in newspapers are evidence of the health of a given society, influence the interests and attention of subscribers toward the health problem. Thus, an analysis of health articles in newspapers is important for evidence about health and for investigating the educational significance of health articles as media.A sampling of health articles was examined in two major, daily newspapers for three monthes, and trends in the quantity and the quality of health articles for the last 20 years were also studied in these two daily newspapers.The following results were obtained:1) The distributions of the number of health articles in terms of space or by the size of heading for a period of one week or one month could be considered represented samples for the three month period. Distributions of the number of health articles by content or by the type of articles during any one week or one month were not representative of the 3-month period.2) A significant positive correlation was observed between the space used and the size of the heading.3) The total number of health articles per year increased during the year, but this tendency was not similar in both papers. The amount of space and the size of the heading tended to expand during the year.4) The majority of articles was related to accidents in each year.
