摘要

隨著年齡老化，老人的身體器官與機能逐漸退化，老人成為慢性病和代謝症候群的主流群體，久坐疾病或久坐死亡綜合症，已經成為全民健康領域的新興議題。本研究以文獻回顧法從身體活動流行病學角度，探討老人坐式生活、運動、與其健康和壽命的關係。本研究從文獻資料整理發現身體活動與老人的健康和壽命的關係是密不可分的。坐式生活不僅會加速老人的身體機能衰退，影響其行為、認知、心理健康等方面能力，當久坐時間超過一定閾值時，還會增加全因死亡率和影響老人的壽命。本研究結論指出將身體活動作為介入手段，可以預防、延遲或轉變老人的自然老化及身體疾病等問題，積極的身體鍛鍊不僅僅是預防醫學很重要的一部分，也是一個人積極生活型態的一部分。

Along with the aging of the elderly, the body organs and functions are gradually deteriorating. The elderly have become the main group of chronic diseases and metabolic syndrome. Sedentary disease or sedentary death syndrome has become an emerging issue in the field of national health. This study uses literature review to examine the relationships among sedentary life style, exercise, health, and longevity of the elderly from the perspective of epidemiology of physical activity. This study found that physical activity is closely related to the health and longevity of the elderly. Sedentary behavior will not only accelerate the physical decline but also affect the cognition, disease, and mental health for older adults. It is also found that when sedentary time exceeds a certain threshold, it will also increase all-cause mortality and affect the life of the elderly. This study concluded that physical activity can be used as an effective intervention to prevent, delay, or change the aging and diseases of the elderly. Active physical exercise is not only an important part of preventive medicine, but also a part of a person's active lifestyle.
