本研究之目的在探討參與社區健康篩檢婦女之骨質疏鬆症是否因人口學特性、生活型態、飲食行為、運動行為而有差異。對象為2003年10月至2004年7月參與社區健康篩檢活動共400位婦女,並以自擬問卷收集人口學基本資料、生活型態(包括是否抽煙、喝酒、咖啡、喝茶)、飲食行為(包括了服用鈣片、維他命)、運動行為等,使用定量超音波骨質密度儀為骨質密度測量工具。資料整理收集後以SPSS10.0軟體進行統計分析,以獨立t檢定、單因子變異性、線性迴歸等統計方法分析。研究結果發現受檢婦女有38.3%呈骨質密度減少情形,有16.8%達到骨質疏鬆症判定標準。受檢者之骨質疏鬆程度因年齡(F=14.45,p<.01)、停'經(t=6.01,p<.01)、身體質量(F=3.01,p<.05)、教育程度(F=4.52、p<.01)、平日活動姿勢(t=-4.7,p<.01)等變項而有顯著差異。建議可以鼓勵婦女日常生活姿勢以站姿為主,此舉有利於維持其骨質密度,另骨質密度會隨著年齡增加而減少,應透過傳播媒體宣傳,讓民眾更知道自我保健常識,更能採取預防措施。The purpose of this project was to survey the relationship of osteoporosis among participants’ demographic characters, behaviors of eating, health care, and exercise in women taking health screening in a community. 400 women taking part in a society health screening activity from Oct. 2003 to July 2004 were enrolled. The basic participants’demographic data, eating behaviors (including smoking, drinking, coffee, and tea consumption), heath care behavior (including taking calcium or vitamin supplement) and exercise behaviors were collected using questionnaire. The bone density of these subjects was measured by Quantitative Ultrasound. Independent t-test, unifactor variants, and linear regression were used for data analysis using SPSS 10.0 software. The results revealed that decreased bone density was found in 38.3% of tested women and 16.8% of them reached the diagnostic criteria of osteoporosis. The participants' osteoporosis level was significantly different because of age(F=14.45, p<.01), menopause(t=6.01, p<.01), body mass index (F=3.01, p<.05), educational level (F=4.52, p<.01) and daily activity gesture (t=-4.7, p<.01). Standing posture was suggested for women dealing with daily activity as this posture helped to maintain the bone density. The incidence of osteoporosis could increase with aging. Therefore, health care education through public media can enrich the knowledge of health care in the population and adequate processes can be taken to prevent the development of osteoporosis. |
