On September 2000, a health checkup survey on freshmen in National Taiwan University was conducted to know their health status and establish their basic health information. 3,756 freshmen were recruited into this study, with mean age 18.9±1.3 years old. The results of this study showed that the mean BMI of all subjects was 21.4 ±3.2 kg/m2 (22.2 ±3.3 on males and 20.5 ±2.7 on females, p < 0.001). In classifying the body status based on WHO Asia-Pacific perspective, 11.4% subjects were obese (BMI≧25 kg/m2) and 12.7% were overweight (BMI 23~25 kg/m2). Obese was noted 16.4% among men and 6.2% among women (p < 0.001). The physical examination showed that 10.4% of the freshmen had elevated blood pressure, 10.9% had tachycardia, 1.0% had bradycardia, 2.6% had abnormal cardiac auscultation, 94.2% had abnormal visual acuity, and 65.5% had dental problems. The profile on hepatitis B showed that the positive rates for HBsAg and anti-HBs were 6.8% and 74.0% each. Elevated SGPT was noted in 7.5% of the subjects. Among all the subjects, 36.0% were noted to have hyperuricemia, 2.4% had hypercholesterolemia, 2.9% were anemic, 5.0% had glucosuria, 14.0% had proteinuria, and 1.8% with CXR abnormality. The male subjects showed higher risks to elevated blood pressure, positive HBsAg, abnormal liver function, and hyperuricemia than the female subjects. On the other hand, the female subjects revealed a higher risk to anemia and proteinuria. According to the multiple logistic regression analysis, male, obesity, and HBsAg carriers all contributed to abnormal liver function. This study provides important health information of young adults to the health and education institutes in Taiwan. It can also be applied to the health education and health promotion activities in schools. |
