目的：探讨哪些因素可以预测青少年的健康观念。方法：这项研究以纵向全国人口健康调查为基础，纳入了 1,493 名受访时年龄为 12 至 19 岁的青少年。检查了性别、年龄、年级、家庭结构、收入、残疾、慢性健康问题、社会支持、社会参与、学校/工作参与、吸烟、酗酒、体力活动、体重指数（BMI）和心理健康状况变量。使用序数多元回归，对所有预测因子进行自评健康回归，并按层次分块输入。结果：分析显示，青少年对健康的看法不仅取决于他们的身体健康状况，还受到个人、社会环境、行为和心理因素的影响。具体来说，健康问题、残疾、年龄、女性地位、较低收入、吸烟和较高的体重指数与较低的自评健康有关。结论：这项研究表明，青少年对其健康的评价是由他们的整体功能感决定的，其中包括身体健康和非身体健康维度。
Objective: To examine what factors predict adolescents' concepts of their health.Methods: The study, based on the longitudinal National Population Health Survey, included 1,493 adolescents who were 12-19 at the time of interview. Sex, age, grade, family structure, income, disability, chronic health problems, social supports, social involvement, school/work involvement, smoking, alcohol bingeing, physical activities, Body Mass Index (BMI) and psychological health status variables were examined. Using ordinal multivariate regression, self-rated health was regressed on all predictors, which were entered in blocks hierarchically.Results: The analyses revealed that adolescent perceptions of health are framed not only by their physical health status, but also by personal, socio-environmental, behavioural and psychological factors. Specifically, health problems, disability, age, female status, lower income, smoking, and higher BMI were associated with lower self-rated health.Conclusions: This study suggests that adolescent appraisals of their health are shaped by their overall sense of functioning, which includes both physical health and non-physical health dimensions.
