本研究昌在探討社區民眾運動情形、自覺健康情況與健保醫療(含次數及看診料別)間之相關情形，以作為社區民眾運動諮詢及學術研究之參考。研究以隨機抽樣訪談方式，完成台中地區社區民眾3,500人之問卷調查，其中有效資料2,946份(男性1,172人，女性1,774人)。所得資料以描述性統計分析、t檢定、單因子變異數分析(ANOVA檢定)、卡方檢定及邏輯斯迴歸(Logistic regression)等統計方法進行分析檢定。重要結果如下：一、不同性別、不同年齡、不同教育程度之運動情形、身體質量指數(BMI)、使用健保卡看診科別及使用健保卡次數等項差異顯著。二、運動情形與自覺健康狀況、健保卡使用次數及健保卡看診科別相關顯著。根據上述研究結果，本研究之結論為：參與較多規律運動者，有較高的自覺健康狀態以及使用較少的醫療健保資源。

This study aimed to explore the relationship between the community residents' exercise behavior, and their perceived health, frequency of using the health insurance IC cards, and frequency of visiting the major outpatient departments in hospitals and medical clinics in Taichung County and Taichung City. 2,946 effective questionnaires out of 3,500 interviews (including 1,172 males and 1,774 females) were randomly sampled. The data were statistically analyzed by means of descriptive statistic analysis, ANOVA,χ2 test, and logistic regression. The results could be summarized as follows. First, the exercise performance in groups of different sexes, at different ages, and with different educational backgrounds, showed significant differences in BMI, the frequency of using the IC cards, and the frequency of visiting the major outpatient departments in hospitals and medical clinics. Second, people's perceived health, the frequency of using the health insurance IC cards, and the frequency of visiting the major outpatient departments in hospitals and medical clinics were related to exercises. This study concluded that participating in regular exercise was related to a higher perceived health status and fewer hospital visits.
