我國於2010年發現65歲以上老年人口比例佔總人口比達10.7%。惡性腫瘤自1982年即為國人死因之首位,女性乳癌粗死亡率為第四名;於1993年開始重視婦女癌症的篩檢工作(國民健康局,2011)。本研究期望藉由全國性資料來分析中老年婦女行乳房攝影檢查之相關因素,以提供健康照護者將此重要因素列為衛生教育擬定與推動之參考。採用國民健康局2007年「中老年身心社會狀況長期追蹤調查」資料庫接受調查共4534人,本研究對象為女性以及問卷訪問對象為個案本人者,共計2043人。研究中老年婦女行乳房攝影檢查之相關性,以是否行乳房攝影檢查為依變項,取問卷中社會人口學、健康因素、健康危險行為、社交活動為自變項。研究結果顯示中老年婦女在年齡、曾患癌症、接受全身健康檢查、規律運動習慣與乳房攝影檢查狀況有顯著關聯。此資料庫為長期追蹤調查研究,問卷內容擴及廣泛身、心、社會及生活狀況的調查,可利用此資料庫之優勢做縱貫性研究,以得到更多接受健康檢查的因果關係。
