| 摘要: | 目的：青少年是銜接成年的關鍵時期，所養成的行為模式與生活型態，是建立良好健康基礎的重要階段。臺灣地區為東亞地區含糖飲料攝取量最高的地區，飲用含糖飲料會增加總熱量的攝取，排擠重要的營養素吸收，易造成營養不良、增加體重及非傳染性疾病風險。本研究以社會科學的角度去探討臺灣地區青少年含糖飲料攝取多寡與生活型態之相關性。
方法：本研究採橫斷式研究設計，使用便利取樣及滾雪球方式，進行問卷調查。研究對象以居住在大台北地區(台北市、新北市、基隆市、桃園市)10-19歲青少年為研究母群體。樣本來自於四都中二所大學、三所國中、四所國小、高中志工團體之453位青少年，收案時間自2023年4月11日至2023年5月26日，研究工具：使用15項飲料攝取量表(BEVQ-15)、青少年生活型態量表(ALP-R2)，所取得資料以描述性及推論性統計分析。
結果：共有453位青少年參與本研究，將受訪對象含糖飲料之總糖攝取分成三組，發現組間以健康組別(<25克糖)的女性比率高於男性，在適量(<50克糖)及過量組別(≧50克糖)男性高於女性，顯示女性在此方面較注重健康，而男性較容易攝取過多的糖分。健康生活型態七個構面中，研究發現含糖飲料攝取程度與營養、人際關係、壓力管理之間存在顯著差異，表示此三個構面得分越佳，其含糖飲料攝取機會較低，此結果將可作為青少年含糖飲料攝取與健康生活型態的實證依據。
結論：含糖飲料攝取程度不同的青少年健康生活型態中之間存在顯著差異，這意味著含糖飲料攝取程度較低的青少年在此部份表現出較好的健康習慣。
Purpose: Adolescence is a critical period of transition to adulthood, and the behaviors and lifestyles developed during this period are important for building a solid foundation of good health. In East Asia, Taiwan has the highest intake of sugar-sweetened beverages. This increases total calorie intake and impedes nutrient absorption, which can lead to malnutrition, weight gain, and the risk of noncommunicable diseases. This study investigates the relationship between sugar-sweetened beverage intake and lifestyles among adolescents in Taiwan from a social science perspective.
Methods: A cross-sectional study design was applied, and convenience sampling and snowball sampling were used for the questionnaire survey. Adolescents aged 10–19 years living in the Greater Taipei Area (Taipei City, New Taipei City, Keelung City, and Taoyuan City) were taken as the population. A sample of 453 adolescents from two universities, three junior high schools, four elementary schools, and one high school volunteer groups in the four cities was collected from April 11, 2023, to May 26, 2023. This study used the 15-item Beverage Intake Questionnaire (BEVQ-15), the Adolescent Lifestyle Profile-Revised 2 (ALP-R2), and both descriptive and inferential statistical analyses on the collected data.
Results: A total of 453 adolescents participated in this study and were categorized into three groups based on their total sugar intake from sugar-sweetened beverages. The proportion of females in the healthy group (<25 g sugars) was higher than that of males, while there were more males than females in the moderate (<50 g sugars) and excessive groups (≧50 g sugars). This suggests that females are more health-conscious in this regard than males, who are more likely to consume excessive amounts of sugar. Among the seven dimensions of wellness, sugar-sweetened beverage intake level is significantly related to nutrition, interpersonal relations, and stress management, indicating that higher scores on these three dimensions are associated with lower levels of sugar-sweetened beverage intake. This can be used as empirical evidence of the association between sugar-sweetened beverage intake and a healthy lifestyle among adolescents.
Conclusion: There are significant differences in healthy lifestyle patterns among adolescents with varying levels of sugar-sweetened beverage intake, with those with lower levels of sugar-sweetened beverage intake demonstrating better health habits. |
