目標：本研究旨在採討臺灣社會資本成人自評健康的關係。方法：橫斷性次級資料分析，分析單位為個人。研究資料來自1996年的「台灣社會變遷調查」，為全國性代表樣本，共2,385名成人。社會資本指標由社會信任及社會參與兩個面向組成，共有五道測量題目。本研究利用對數迴歸分析檢視社會資本是否與自評健康有關。結果：整體而言，84.2%的受訪者自述身體狀況為好或很好，87.6％的受訪者自述目前生活快樂或很樂。社會資本越高，越容易自述身體健康和生活快樂。在控制性別、年齡、教育程度和個人收入等級後，自述身體健康的勝算比為1.2(95%信賴區間1.1-1.3)，自述生活快樂的勝算比為1.3(95%信賴區間1.2-1.5)。結論：社會資本是台灣成人自評健康的重要影響因素。

Objectives: To examine the relationship between social capital and self-rated health among adults in Taiwan. Methods: Cross-sectional and individual-level secondary data analysis. Data for the analysis came from the 1996 Taiwan Social Chang Survey with a nationally representative sample of 2,385 adults. Social capital was measured using a 5-item scale covering social trust and social involvement. Logistic regression was applied to explore whether social capital was associated with self-rated health. Results: Overall, 84.2% reported their physical health as being good or excellent, and 87.6% living happily or very happily. High social capital was significantly associated with self-rated good physical health and happy life. The odds ratio for good physical health and happy life were 1.2 (95%CI 1.l-1.3) and 1.3 (95%CI 1.2-1.5) after controlling for sex, age, education and individual income class. Conclusions: Social capital was very significant in determining self-rated health among adults in Taiwan.
