新北市國小學童不健康坐式生活行為之相關因素

生活品質是政府施政重要的關鍵績效指標，給予劣勢族群必要的協助有利於社會群體永續生存。坐式生活已成為影響國民健康的重要問題。本研究目的是希望瞭解新北市國小學童不健康的坐式生活（看電視與電腦使用）與閱讀作功課時間在29個行政區與父母學歷之關係。本研究採問卷普查收集調查，問卷發放全市國小學童，共計38,967人，回收率為90.3%。分析結果指出新北市父母具有大學學歷之比例約25.0%；林口、新店與其他人口稀少區看電視時間最短，八里、萬里與石門最長。看電視時間與國小學童父母大學學歷比例排名呈現高度顯著負相關；閱讀做功課時間與國小學童父母大學學歷比例排名呈現顯著正相關。本研究結論為新北市國小學童不健康坐式生活行為與父母學歷呈現明顯負相關，顯示父母教育程度可影響學童缺乏活動的危機意識影響不足。父母大學畢業人口比較多的行政區，學童使用電腦與電視時間明顯較短。本研究結果開啟一個新問題，即人口聚集房產價格變動等居民篩選因素，是否可連帶影響父母社經地位與國小學童同儕健康行為，政府應如何解決此差異造成的影響，讓下一代有更好的生活水準。

Quality of life (QOL) is the most important subjective measure for the government performance. Identification of underprivileged minorities at an early stage can help the society to maintain a sustainable QOL for all people. Sedentary lifestyle has become a major health issue that affects QOL of people. This study aimed to investigate the association between sedentary behaviors (television viewing, computer use, and reading/study) of schoolchildren and educational level of their parents in 29 administrative districts of New Taipei City. In this study, the questionnaires were distributed to all primary school students. A total of 38,967 participants completed the survey, with a return rate of 90.3%. The results showed that about 25.0% of parents in New Taipei City hold a college degree or above. Time spent in watching television was longer for students from Linkou, Xindian, and other sparsely populated areas, while people from Bali, Wanli, and Shimen areas spent shorter time on television viewing. A significant negative correlation was found between television viewing time and regional ranks on percentage of parents with college degree in New Taipei City, whereas positive correlation was noticed between the rank and reading time. We conclude that the sedentary lifestyle behavior of primary schoolchildren in New Taipei City was associated with parental education level, suggesting possible influence of parents' awareness on sedentary behavior of their children. Our study raised a new question, whether real estate price can be a selecting factor for family settlement, which might shape the peer environment based on the parental educational status. New policies should be taken by the government to decrease the disparity for the sake of next generation.
