摘要

背景本研究在調查台灣勞工1999年抽煙、喝酒及嚼檳榔之盛行率及其影響之相關因素。
方法利用勞保局資料庫(共7,597,38名)，以等比例機率抽樣方式抽樣，並以結構式問卷訪視，共得1,726名勞工當作研究對象。
結果台灣勞工抽煙、喝酒及嚼檳榔之盛行率，在男性勞工為47.7%，31.2%及 10.4%；在女性勞工為5.9%，3.4%及1.9%。邏輯斯複迴歸分析結果顯示男性，年紀較年輕，外省籍，教育程度較低及工作上較有壓力及困擾者有較高之抽煙盛行率，喝酒及嚼檳榔盛行率影響因素與抽煙類似，然盛行率最高族群為31至44歲這一組，且不同籍貫中以原住民喝酒及嚼檳榔盛行率為最高。
結論主要影響勞工抽煙、唱酒及嚼檳榔之因素包括性別、年齡、籍貫、教育程度及工作場所之壓力程度等變項，與其居住地區地理分佈及職業別並無明顯之相關性。三種習慣彼此之間有很強的相關性，此外，文化、衛生教育及政府政策對影響抽煙，喝酒及嚼檳榔盛行率之趨勢扮演者很重要的角色。

Objective. In this study we determined the prevalence of and relevant factors associated with tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking and betel nut chewing among Taiwanese workers in 1999.
Methods. We selected 1726 workers from the databank of Taiwan's Labor Insurance Bureau (7,597,386 workers) by proportional probability and interviewed them with a structured questionnaire.
Results. The prevalence of tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking and betel nut chewing was 47.7%, 31.2% and 10.4% among males, and 5.9%, 3.4% and 1.9% among females, respectively. The results of the multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the prevalence of smoking was higher among males, youth, mainland Chinese workers, workers with lower levels of education, and workers who reported experiencing both stress and anxiety in the workplace﹒In general, prevalence rates were higher among slightly older workers. Drinking and betel nut chewing prevalence rates were higher among slightly older workers. Drinking and betel nut chewing prevalence rates were highest among aborigines .
Conclusions. The prevalence of consumption of all three substances was highly inter correlated. Furthermore, ethnicity, health education and government policies play an important role in affecting the prevalence of these three lifestyle habits.
