睡眠是儿童和青少年健康和幸福的重要指标。充足的睡眠（AS：充足的睡眠定义为每晚有规律地睡眠6-8小时）是青少年健康和健康相关行为的关键因素。本研究以桃园县青少年健康促进计画为基础。本研究旨在探讨台湾青少年学生时期AS与超重、就医频率及健康相关行为的关系。采用横断面研究设计，分类和多变量数据分析。调查的假设是：高频率的AS与不肥胖和不经常去看医生正相关;高频率的AS与健康相关行为正相关。2004年1月至6月，共对656名年龄在13-18岁之间的男孩（53.2%）和女孩（46.8%）进行了研究。357名受试者（54%）报告说，他们在上学期间的睡眠时间少于建议的6-8小时。睡眠不足与以下健康相关行为之间存在显著的负相关：（1）生活欣赏;（2）对健康负责;（3）采用健康饮食;（4）有效的压力管理;（5）定期锻炼;（6）总AHP得分。在控制了潜在的混杂因素后，高频率的AS与低频率的肥胖相关。初中青少年报告的AS的频率显着高于高中参与者。性别、家庭结构、家庭位置、看电视或使用电脑的频率与AS无显著相关。这些发现支持了AS与良好的健康状况和高频率采用健康相关行为相关的命题。此外，这些研究结果表明，睡眠不足可能是不健康生活方式和健康状况不佳的筛选指标。研究结果可能有助于未来研究制定干预策略，以帮助睡眠不足的青少年。
Amount of sleep is an important indicator of health and well-being in children and adolescents. Adequate sleep (AS: adequate sleep is defined as 6–8 hours per night regularly) is a critical factor in adolescent health and health-related behaviors. The present study was based on a health promotion project previously conducted on adolescents in Tao-Yuan County, Taiwan. The aim was to examine the relationship between AS during schooldays and excessive body weight, frequency of visiting doctors and health-related behaviors among Taiwanese adolescents. A cross-sectional study design, categorical and multivariate data analyses were used. The hypotheses investigated were: high frequency of AS is positively associated with lack of obesity and less frequent visits to doctors; and high frequency AS is positively associated with health-related behavior. A total of 656 boys (53.2%) and girls (46.8%), ranging in age from 13–18 years were studied between January and June 2004. Three hundred and fifty seven subjects (54%) reported that they slept less than the suggested 6–8 hours on schooldays. A significant negative association was found between low sleep and of the following health-related behaviors: (1) life appreciation; (2) taking responsibility for health; (3) adopting healthy diet; (4) effective stress management; (5) regular exercise; and (6) total AHP score. High frequency AS was associated with low frequencies of obesity after potential confounding factors were controlled. Junior high school adolescents reported significantly higher frequencies of AS than high school participants. Gender, family structure, home location and frequency of television watching or computer use were not significantly associated with AS. These findings support the proposition that AS is associated with good health status and high-frequency adoption of health-related behavior. Furthermore, these findings suggest that inadequate sleep may be a screening indicator for an unhealthy lifestyle and poor health status. The results might be useful for future research into the development of intervention strategies to assist adolescents who are not receiving enough hours of sleep.
