摘要

肥胖通常與常見慢性疾病及代謝症候群有關，缺乏身體活動已成為全球性疾病死因的主要危險因素。一直以來，足夠的身體活動量被認為對身體有多方面的益處，且傾向於保持理想的體重。因此，本研究蒐集2006～2019年教育部體育署調查臺灣規律性運動人口及身體質量指數（body mass index, BMI）的現況，目的為瞭解規律性運動人口比率與BMI變化之間的關係。分析結果顯示：規律性運動人口比率隨著年分增加而增加，肥胖及過重比率也具有相同增加的趨勢；反之，標準及過輕比率卻逐年遞減。此外，規律性運動人口比率與肥胖及過重比率呈現正相關；也就是說，規律性運動人口比率愈高，肥胖或過重比率也愈高。相反的，規律性運動人口比率與標準及過輕比率呈現負相關，且這種現象出現在女性及較年輕的族群。本研究結論認為規律性運動並沒有存在對控制肥胖或過重有利的線索，建議國人從事規律性運動的同時，仍需提高運動強度或更多的運動時間，並隨時監測自己體重，以達到控制體重的目標。

Obesity is usually associated with common chronic diseases and metabolic syndrome, and lack of physical activity has become the fourth leading risk factor for death from diseases worldwide. For a long time, sufficient exercise has been considered to have many health benefits, and it plays a role in maintaining an ideal body weight. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand the relationship between the percentage of the population engaged in regular exercise and changes in body mass index (BMI), through demographic data regarding regular exercise and BMI in Taiwan. Survey data covering 2006 to 2019 from the Sports Administration, Ministry of Education was analyzed to address these questions. The results showed a positive yearly trend in the percentage of population engaging in regular exercise; meanwhile, the percentage of overweight and obese people displays a similarly increasing trend. In contrast, the percentage of individuals of standard or low weight decreased. The percentage of population exercising regularly is positively correlated with the percentage of those obese or overweight, especially in females and the younger population, and negatively correlated with the percentage of those of standard or low weight. In conclusion, there is no indication that regular exercise is beneficial in controlling obesity or excess weight. It is recommended that while engaging in regular exercise, people need to increase exercise intensity or frequency, and monitor their own weight over time to achieve the goal of weight control.
