痛風(Gout)，高血壓與糖尿病是老化時的流行性疾病，近年防護醫學專家較注意心舒壓(diastolic pressure)，因其與全部末梢血管阻力(TPR)有關，高血糖症的糖尿病不但是流行病也是國內外死亡率急驟升高的疾病，衛生署公布中老年人的死亡率中，心臟病、高血壓及糖尿病比例都名列前茅。目的：橄欖球員是每日運動量最高的球員（約6000卡），離開運動場及競賽場後，老化對其在血壓、血糖及尿酸的影響值得探討。以45位國手級橄欖球員為樣本，在填寫同意書後，接受天主教耕莘醫院檢驗中心抽血檢測血壓、血糖及尿酸，並依年齡分為20歲以下、20-34歲、35-49歲及50-64歲等共四組，以探討其老化情形，利用變異數分析(ANOVA)及最低顯著性檢驗(least significant difference, L.S.D)探討不同年齡層的差異。結果：經變異數分析及LSD檢定後，除尿酸外，各年齡層的心縮壓，心舒壓及血糖都呈現差異顯著性(p<.05)。50-64歲組心縮壓147.25 mmHg，心舒壓81.5 mmHg，血糖96.29mg/dl，比較於20歲以下組心縮壓130.1 mmHg，心舒壓69.33 mmHg及血糖的79.64mg/dl都具差異性。結論：從各年齡層心縮壓、心舒壓及血糖上升的差異，可看出老化的影響相當明顯，但其檢測數據除心縮壓外，都在安全範圍。

Gout has been bothered many elite athletes when they retired from competition, It is believed that it was caused by high level purine and lactic acid. High blood pressure and diabetes are not only list in prevalence diseases but the death rate also grade up rapidly. Total peripheral resistance (TPR) and hyperglycemia have been emphasized by protect medicine researchers in aging currently. Purpose: Rugby player has been recognized that it is the most energy expenditure game. The metabolic rates reach to 6000 cal/day. It is our interesting to detect the rugby players blood pressure, blood sugar and uric acid in aging. Method: Forty-five national level rugby players were referred for subjects. They are divided into four groups depend on their age. They are below 20 yrs, 20-34 yrs, 35-49 yrs and 50-64 yrs respectively. Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, blood sugar and uric acid were test by cardinal tien hospital biological examination center. ANOVA and least significant difference (L.S.D) are used to check the different level and groups’ comparison. Results: From ANOVA analysis and L.S.D test, we found systolic pressure (147.25-130.1 mmHg) diastolic pressure (81.5-73.62 mmHg) and blood sugar (96.29 -79.64 mg/dl) are different significantly. Uric acid is not different, but they are a little more than safe range (7.54-6.39 mg/dl). Conclusion: From analysis and discussion, we found that systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and blood sugar are affected by aging obviously. Except systolic pressure, the testing items are located in safe range.
