摘要

本研究之目的在了解大學生的體型、自覺體型、自認身體狀況之相關性，探討其個人特徵對營養知識的追求動機和重視程度，和六大類食物攝取量各構面間之影響。以台北市某大學學院學生為研究對象，採取問卷調查的方式，回收有效問卷共376份，將問卷買料進行描述性統計、Pearson相關分析、卡方分析。所得結果發現：大學生自認身體狀況「非常健康」者只有61%、為「佳」或「普通」佔將近八成(77.7%)，「非常不健康」或「不佳」則有16.2%。高達46.5%女大學生認為自己過重；年齡越高的群組其BMI值有偏高的趨勢，但無齡在體型自我認知方面並無顯著差異。BMI值和自認體重呈正相關。個人特徵中性別、年齡、同住人數、BMI值與部分飲食習性有相關性。在六大類食物攝取量方面，蛋白質的攝取以原居住地在中部者比例顯著比北部高；五穀根莖類攝取不足者多為正在節食者；蔬菜的攝取方面，女性顯著不足；水果的攝取方面，以南部學生、外宿者明顯偏低。

The purpose of this study was to examine relationships between actual and self-recognized body shapes and actual and self-recognized physical conditions of college students in Taipei, Taiwan. We further investigated the impact of demographic factors and dietary practices on their motivations for acquiring nutritional knowledge, their degree of emphasis on nutrition knowledge, and their daily intake amount of six categories of food. A survey questionnaire using a Likert scale was distributed to and completed by 376 college students who participated in this study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and Chi-squared analyses. The results showed that only 6.1% of participants considered their physical condition ”very healthy,” 77.7% were ”good” or ”so-so,” and 16.2% were ”very unhealthy” or ”poor.” Over 46.5% of female participants felt they were overweight. Although it seemed that the older the group, the higher the body-mass index (BMI) value, there was no significant difference between age and self-recognized body shape. The BMI value and self-recognized body weight were positively correlated. Participants' dietary habits were partly correlated with gender, age, the number of persons living together, and the BMI value. Participants from central Taiwan showed significantly higher protein intake than those from northern Taiwan. Most participants with insufficient intake of grains were on a diet. Female participants showed significantly insufficient vegetable intake. Participating students who came from southern Taiwan or those who lived away from home on-or off-campus showed significantly insufficient fruit intake.
