摘要

本研究旨在探討臺灣中小學教師健康行為和身體健康與其他職業之差異，且造成差異的原因。以中央研究院「臺灣地區社會變遷調查」全國大樣本資料進行路徑分析。研究主要發現是：就健康促進行為而言，中小學教師運動行為是所有六大類職業中最多者；就喝酒、吸菸、嚼檳榔等健康危害行為而言，中小學教師都是所有職業中最少者。造成中小學教師運動行為最多，健康危害行為最少的原因可能是教育年數最高所致。但中小學教師身體並沒有較其他職業健康，原因可能是一些重要背景因素的相互抵銷所致。研究發現教育年數對健康行為及身體健康都有重要的影響。

The purpose of this study was to explore the differences of health behaviors and physical health between elementary/junior high school teachers and people in other occupations in Taiwan. The reasons that resulted in the differences were discussed. The data was based on the Academia Sinica's ”Social Change Survey in Taiwan”, the large national samples with path analysis applied. The results showed that in terms of health enhancing behaviors, elementary and junior high school teachers had the most exercise behaviors among six occupations. In terms of health risk behaviors, elementary and junior high school teachers had the least behaviors of drinking, smoking and, chewing betel nuts. It might be that elementary and junior high school teachers had the highest level of education in all occupations, and thus their exercise behaviors were the highest and health risk behaviors were the lowest. However, elementary and junior high school teachers' health was no better than that of people in other occupations'. A possible reason was that some important background factors mutually offset. This study also found that the level of education had great impact on health behaviors and physical health.
