摘要

本文旨在針對中老年人生活品質之現況進行探討，更進一步分析規律運動習慣對其生活品質間之差異性，研究目的大致歸納為兩點分別為：（1）探討規律運動習慣於中老年人之性別與年齡層因素上表現之差異以及（2）探討性別、年齡層與規律運動習慣對其生活品質影響之分析比較。在研究方法上，以屏東縣內地區年齡介於50歲至59歲之社區中老年人為研究對象，藉由立意取樣方式進行問卷訪談，總計收案資料共180人；其中，女性有86人、男性有94人，且50歲至54歲者有99人、55歲至59歲者有81人，而有規律運動習者124人、無規律運動習者56人。統計方法以卡方檢定與t檢定方法來進行分析與說明。研究結果發現中老年人之生活品質在性別、年齡層與規律運動習慣等三因素上的表現確實存在顯著差異；整體而言，男性中老年人較女性中老年人有較佳的生活品質、50歲至54歲者亦較55歲至59歲者表現的優、以及有規律運動者亦較無規律運動者擁有較好的生活品質。由於中老年人是為邁入晚年生活的前哨站，依據本研究之結果，我們建議此類族群應注重當下之生活品質與身體健康狀況，唯有透過規律的運動習慣，才能確保優質的生活品質與身體活力，更為未來的晚年生活做好萬全之準備；此外，更需依據自身性別與年齡層的情況，調整符合自身的生活品質改善計畫，透過參與團體活動與社區活動，來形塑規律運動行為與習慣，不僅對人際關係有所助益，更讓生活品質優質又豐富。

This research tried to explore and find the relationships between health-related quality of life and regular exercise behavior among middle-aged and elderly adults. There were two main purposes in the study. Firstly, we would show the distribution in gender and age for all samples. Secondly, the health-related quality of life for middle-aged and elderly adults would be explained, evaluated and compared in this section. However, we collected 180 middle-aged and elderly adults which were included 94 males and 86 females in Pingtung. The statistical methods for analyzing the study data would be practiced by t-test and Chi-squared test. The results showed that persons, who had regular exercise behavior, would gain better health-related quality of life than the others. Therefore, we concluded that researches for middle-aged and elderly adults should regard the gender factor and age factor as confounder; and we also suggested that middle-aged and elderly adults should do exercise regularly to improve their health-related quality of life.
