The purpose of the present study was to determine the association between health-related physical fitness (HRPF) performance and perceived happiness status among adults in Taiwan. A cross-sectional study was conducted, and data derived from the National Physical Fitness Survey in Taiwan 2014-2015 were reviewed. The participants included 27,930 men and 30,885 women, aged 23 to 64 years. Each participant completed a standardized, structured questionnaire and underwent anthropometric variable and HRPF measurements. The happiness outcome of an individual was obtained using the questionnaire, and the results were stratified into happy (very happy, quite happy, and fair) and unhappy (unhappy and not at all happy) groups for perceived happiness status. HRPF measurements were evaluated using cardiorespiratory endurance (3 min step test), muscle strength and endurance (1 min sit-up test), flexibility (sit-and-reach test), and body composition (body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio). To determine the existence of a dose-response relationship between HRPF component levels and happiness status, four quartiles of HRPF components were analyzed using multiple logistic regression models. Multiple logistic regression results indicated that with the worst performance level of HRPF components as a baseline, significant associations were observed for the sit-and-reach test (third level: OR = 1.24, 95% CI: 1.02-1.49) and BMI (second level: OR = 0.78, 95% CI: 0.64-0.95) among men. For women, significant associations were observed for the 1 min sit-up test (second level: OR = 1.28, 95% CI: 1.03-1.60; third level: OR = 1.32, 95% CI: 1.04-1.67; fourth (the best) level: OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.12-1.95) and BMI (third level: OR = 0.73, 95% CI: 0.58-0.92). The current study suggested that higher values in flexibility and body composition, happiness-related factors, potentially improve the occurrence of happiness among men. Moreover, this positive effect of higher values of muscle strength, endurance, and BMI was observed for the occurrence of happiness in women. However, the relevant mechanism underlying this phenomenon must be further explored.
本研究旨在探讨台湾成年人健康相关体适能（HRPF）表现与幸福感之间的关联。采用横断面研究方法，对 2014-2015 年台湾国民体质监测数据进行分析。参与者包括 27930 名男性和 30885 名女性，年龄 23-64 岁。每位参与者完成一份标准化的结构化问卷，并进行人体测量学变量和 HRPF 测量。个体的幸福感结果通过问卷获得，并根据幸福感状态将结果分层为快乐（非常快乐、相当快乐和一般）和不快乐（不快乐和一点也不快乐）组。HRPF 测量使用心肺耐力（3 分钟踏步测试）、肌肉力量和耐力（1 分钟仰卧起坐测试）、柔韧性（坐-前伸测试）和身体成分（体重指数（BMI）和腰臀比）进行评估。为了确定 HRPF 成分水平与幸福感状态之间是否存在剂量-反应关系，使用多因素逻辑回归模型分析了 HRPF 成分的四个四分位水平。多因素逻辑回归结果表明，以 HRPF 成分最差表现水平为基线，男性的坐-前伸测试（第三四分位：OR=1.24，95%CI：1.02-1.49）和 BMI（第二四分位：OR=0.78，95%CI：0.64-0.95）与幸福感显著相关。对于女性，1 分钟仰卧起坐测试（第二四分位：OR=1.28，95%CI：1.03-1.60；第三四分位：OR=1.32，95%CI：1.04-1.67；第四（最佳）四分位：OR=1.48，95%CI：1.12-1.95）和 BMI（第三四分位：OR=0.73，95%CI：0.58-0.92）与幸福感显著相关。本研究表明，柔韧性和身体成分等与幸福感相关的因素越高，男性幸福感的发生概率可能越高。此外，对于女性来说，肌肉力量、耐力和 BMI 较高的正效应与幸福感的发生有关。然而，必须进一步探讨这种现象的相关机制。
