學童與父母親間慢性病危險因子、健康、知識、生活方式相關性之探討
A Survey of the Relationships between Children and Their Parents in Chronic Disease Risk Factors, Health Knowledge and Lifestyles
摘要
本研究以高雄市某國小3~6年級學童共2806名，先給予身高、體重、血壓的測量及膽固醇、三酸甘油脂的檢驗。對羅列指數≧150，或血壓、或膽固醇、或三酸甘油脂位於同年齡層95百分位以上之學童，也隨機抽樣180名，視為危險群。未有任何危險因子偏高之學童，也隨機抽樣180名，視為非危險群。對這些學童及家長給予問卷調查，共完成危險群學童157份，父親103份，母親112份；非危險群學童問卷102份，父親83份，母親82份。對家長也給予體位、血壓的測量及血液的檢驗，共有危險群學童父親86位，母親144位，非危險群學童父親56位，母親98位完成所有測量及檢驗。以了解學童之性病危險因子、健康知識、生活方式與父母之慢性病危險因子、健康知識、生活方式的關係。研究顯示，危險群學童之膽固醇、三酸甘油脂偏高者，其子女的膽固醇及三酸甘油脂也偏高。學童之健康知識得分與其父母的健康知識得分無關係。學童生活方式與母親的生活方式呈顯著正相關。無論學童或其父母健康知識皆與其生活方式呈顯著正相關。學童的生活方式與其肥胖指數呈顯著負相關；父親的生活方式與其三酸甘油脂濃度呈顯著負相關。此結果顯示學童與父母親間在危險因子及生活方式有某些關係，尤其是母親對學童慢性病危險因子及生活方式的影響值得更進一步的探討。

The purpose of this study is to understand the relationships for risk factors, health knowledge and lifestyles between children and their parents. 2806 primary schoolchildren in Kaohsiung City were measured for selected risk factors: serum cholesterol (CHOL), triglyceride (TG), systolic and diastolic blood pressure and height and weight for obese index (Rohrer’s index). Children whose Rohrer’s index≧150, or blood pressure, or CHOL, or TG level were above the 95th percentile distribution in the same age group were categorized as the risk group, the other children fell into the non-risk group. Using random sampling,180 children were chosen from risk group and non-risk group respectively. A structured questionnaire about health knowledge and lifestyles were filled out by these children and their parents. In the risk group, the questionnaire was completed by 157 children, 103 fathers and 112 monthers. In the non-risk group, 102 children, 83 fathers and 82 mothers completed the questionnaire. The same risk factors examination of children was given to parents; 86 fathers and 144 mothers completed the examination fro mthe risk group, while 56 fathers and 98 monthers completed the examination in the non-risk group. The results showed that: (1) there were significant postitive correlations between children and their parents in CHOL, TG and obese index in risk group; children of mothers with higher CHOL and TG levels also showed higher CHOL and TG levels, (2) childrens’ health knowledge w3as not correlated with parents’ health knowledge, (3) childrens’ lifestyles showed a significant positive correlation with mothers’ life-styles, (4) health knowledge has a significant positive correlation with childrens’ and partents’ lifestyles, (5) healthy lifestyles have a negative correlation with Rohrer’s index in children and a negative correlation with TG level in fathers. The results suggest the presence of certain relationships for risk factors and lifestyles between children and their parents.
