說明

隨著台灣逐步邁入高齡化社會,65歲以上老人所占總人口比例持續攀升,其所衍生出的諸多問題值得進一步討論,包含醫療保健、居家照護、社會經濟等。本研究透過社區世代樣本及醫院世代樣本的建立,進行老化相關疾病及生物特徵分析,以了解族群老化之多面向需求與決定因素及機轉。藉由世代的建立,透過實證研究法,探討銀髮族經濟來源與財務規劃,從老年人不同的生活型態、個人之健康狀態、經濟來源與家庭背景與資金需求之相關性,希望找尋影響老年人生、心理表徵的變項,進而連結健康狀態的產生,企圖建立較為完整的銀髮族健康模型。除了社區世代的建立外,因應時代進步,人類對於疾病之研究及了解已越來越趨於完整,包括目前基因及其遺傳性研究,因此對於以家族性為基礎之大規模族群資料庫需求越來越高且重要,不僅是因應基因解密探索需求,而對於基因與環境交互作用之研究其重要性更不可忽略,所以建構一基因與環境暴露相關因子之大規模族群家族 (population-based and family-based) 資料庫來形成預防醫學之策略目標。另外,老化之一項重要生物標誌為體型之改變,本研究亦利用3D掃描數位人模為基礎結合體脂分佈,建構3D數位人模的體型變化,分析其與代謝症候群之關聯性,建立老化之外觀體型之連結預測模式

 

背景

繼日本之後,台灣是亞洲第二個邁入高齡化社會的國家,台灣人口的老化速度是全球最快的,人口的老化將對社會帶來許多衝擊。依照目前的統計,大約有80%老年人至少患有一種慢性疾病,50%至少患有兩種慢性疾病,這些慢性疾病會使得老人家處於失能、疼痛、甚至喪失生活基本能力,不僅老年人生活品質受到很大的影響,亦增家人與照護者的負擔,此外,預估2030年時,台灣醫療照護成本會增加25%,因此,許多控制醫療成本的方式應運而生,例如:預防醫學,經由維持功能與避免傷害,我們能夠幫助老年人盡可能保持更久的獨立生活能力,且可以增進老年人生活品質,與延後老年人對長期照護的需求。由於老年人大多喪失或缺乏勞動力,且醫療與生活上的費用相對較高,因此老年人收入、支出等財物,將可能影響其生理與心理表徵,進而對其健康狀態有所影響。

研究發現社會經濟狀態與健康狀態呈現正向關係,亦即高社經地位的老年人其健康狀態比低社經地位的老年人來得好。老年人社會經濟特徵對健康狀態的影響可能並非立即效應或直接作用,有可能透過生、心理表徵間接影響健康狀態,亦即社會經濟特徵、生心理表徵與健康狀態三者間,可能存在著連環交互關係。

故本研究擬以社區為單位,透過社區世代樣本的建立,進行老化相關疾病及生物特徵分析,藉以瞭解多元族群之老化需求與決定因素及其機轉。在社區世代平台之建立上,藉由對不同社區成人進行初步與廣泛性的健康檢測,得以進一步分析成人不同生活型態、個人健康狀態、社會經濟危險因子之相關性。透過現有研究資料,建立完整健康老化資料庫,達到積極預防疾病發生之功效

 

目的

本研究目標為建立社區世代,以健康老化為研究主軸,進行社區居民之世代追蹤,從中歸納健康老化居民特徵,定義影響老化的重要因子,並結合長庚大學與長庚醫院資源,產生具突破性及創新性之健康照護模式,作為未來老化疾病預防及醫療或衛教介入方案的設計,而不同族群的界定,亦可作為未來疾病早期診斷指標的建立,以預防疾病之發生。再者,經濟財務與老年人身、心理表徵或健康狀態之相關性探討,則有助於未來政府政策擬定之參考,達到健康老化之最終目的。透過體型型態及體脂肪分佈檢測,歸納代表性之體脂分佈形態,並分析其與代謝症候群之關聯性,建立理論預測模型。

 

方法

本研究將以醫院及社區分別建立研究世代,以疾病演進的三個階段切入,探討影響疾病的各個構面(生理、心理、社會經濟、遺傳、生活習慣與環境)與健康老化之關係,共12項子計畫同步執行。針對社區研究世代實施問卷調查,其內容包含人口變項(年齡、性別、教育程度、婚姻狀況、宗教、經濟來源、飲食習慣)、生活習慣(抽菸、喝酒、嚼檳榔、喝茶、咖啡)、職業史、活動量、藥物史、個人病史、家族病史以及自覺健康狀態等。
