本研究目的在於調查嘉義地區年齡介於40～60歲婦女於閒暇時從事身體活動之狀況，探討於從事不同身體活動程度組群，是否受年齡、社經、教育和家庭等背景因素影響，進一步考驗其差異性。研究資料收集乃透過問卷發放及訪談方式共計700份，問卷回收計有372份，問卷回收率為53.1％，刪除明顯未符合規定之問卷，共得有效問卷358份。本研究將身體活動程度分為久坐式者、適度活動者及激烈活動者三組。統計結果顯示，嘉義地區358位受試樣本中62.3％的婦女是屬於「久坐式」的生活方式。進一步考驗發現不同身體活動程度組群，在不同的家庭年收入狀況、教育水準、和工作狀況方面有顯著的差異，教育程度較高者傾向於從事較激烈活動(18.9％)和適度活動(47.4％)；教育程度較低者傾向於久坐式的生活方式(72.6％)，年收入較高者比年收入最低之組群傾向於從事較激烈活動(17.2％)和適度活動(35.5％);年收入最低之組群傾向於久坐式的生活方式(82.0％)；而未在外工作之女性組群則傾向於久坐式的生活方式(73.2％)。

The purpose of this study was to examine the self-reported physical activity levels and the factors of participation in physical activity of women aged between 40~60 years old in Taiwan. This research utilized a cross-sectional design to compare the differences based on physical activity levels among the following independent variables : (1) age, (2) annual household income, (3) educational level, (4) marital status, (5) number of children, and (6) occupation. The results of this study revealed that 62.3% of the women are sedentary. Significant differences (P＜.05) based on physical activity levels were found among women of different annual household income levels, educational levels, and occupation. Women with higher educational levels, higher household income, and working women were more likely to be moderately and vigorously active than their counterparts. Women with lower educational levels, lower household income, and not working women were more likely to be sedentary in lifestyle.
