摘要

本研究以台灣地區九族的原住民爲對象，探究原住民的人口特徵、健康相關行爲與健康情形之間的關係。研究以問卷與體檢測試進行資料蒐集，共取得有效樣本986件。人口特徵包含族別、性別、年齡、教育程度、婚姻狀況及職業；健康相關行爲包含睡眠、運動、飲食、抽煙、吃檳榔、喝酒；健康情形則包含自覺有無疾病、自覺健康狀況及健康檢驗（BMI、GOT濃度、血糖濃度、膽固醇濃度、三酸甘油脂濃度、血清尿酸濃度）等項。
本研究之統計資料顯示，樣本中不同人口特徵與採行不同健康相關行爲的族群，在實際身體健康的情形上確實有明顯的差異存在。根據所獲得之結果，本文針對相關單位的組織策略層面與原住民的個人生活層面，提出改善原住民身體健康情形之參考建議。
