Resumen

Los medios de comunicación de masas y, concretamente, las revistas y suplementos dominicales, divulgan anuncios publicitarios, algunos de los cuales pueden ser peligrosos para la salud. Se investigan aquí los anuncios de estas características incluidos en las 15 revistas más vendidas en nuestro país. El período de estudio abarcó los meses de abril–mayo de 1991.

Los resultados han sido comparados con los encontrados en 1987, en una investigación metodológicamente idéntica, lo cual permite una aproximación a la influencia que ha tenido la Ley General de Publicidad 34/88 sobre la cantidad y características de este tipo de anuncios. Se han aislado 1.383 anuncios (X= 13,65 anuncios/revista) con posible influencia negativa en la salud. Aunque la carga total de ellos ha disminuido en este cuatrienio en comparación con 1987, la ley ha producido escasa influencia sobre la naturaleza de la publicidad, y se encuentran transgresiones de la norma (publicidad ilícita y/o engañosa) en el material investigado.

Summary

The media and specifically magazines and sunday supplements contain advertisements, some of which can be dangerous to one's health. We have investigated these types of advertisements, which were included in the 15 top sales magazines in Spain. The period of analysis corresponded to the period april–may, 1991. We have compared the results obtained whith the results of a previous investigation carried our in 1987, using an identical method. We have tried to test if the so-called Law of Publicity of 1988 has had any effect on publicity. We have found, 1383 advertisements that could have a damaging effect on one's health. Although the total number of advertisements have decreased over this four year period, the law has hardly produced any influence on publicity, and we have found breaking of the law in the investigated material.
