根據衛福部統計，國人十大死因中有四項與代謝症候群相關，同時調查結果也顯示近年來國人代謝症候群盛行率極高，且隨著年齡越大盛行率亦有越高的趨勢。依據102至105年「國民營養健康狀況變遷調查」，我國成年人過重及肥胖盛行率為45.4%，105年我國十大死因中，就有7項與肥胖相關，肥胖與過重易引發心臟疾病、腦血管疾病、糖尿病、高血壓、高膽固醇血症等疾病。因此本課程欲經由基本知識與觀念，導入運動、飲食與減重之關係，並結合學理包括細胞、三餐與代謝先了解肥胖之機制與原理，再藉由了解能量攝入(食慾、消化率、脂肪與醣類的消化吸收)、與能量消耗(代謝激素、脂肪與醣類的代謝)和肥胖的關係探討減重，課程中亦將介紹訪間熱門的減重方式與其作用機轉，最後將以本課程所學之知能應用於日常生活，讓同學了解如何維持體型或減重，以達到健康之目的。

According to statistics from the Ministry of Health and Welfare, four of the top ten causes of death in the country are related to metabolic syndrome. At the same time, survey results also show that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome in the country has been extremely high in recent years, and the prevalence rate also tends to be higher with age. According to the "National Nutrition and Health Status Change Survey" from 2020 to 2015, the prevalence rate of overweight and obesity among adults in my country was 45.4%. In 2015, 7 of the top ten causes of death in my country were related to obesity. Obesity and overweight can easily lead to heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and other diseases. Therefore, this course aims to introduce the relationship between exercise, diet and weight loss through basic knowledge and concepts, and combines academic theories including cells, three meals and metabolism to first understand the mechanism and principle of obesity, and then by understanding energy intake (appetite, digestibility, digestion and absorption of fat and sugar), and energy expenditure ( The relationship between metabolic hormones, fat and sugar metabolism) and obesity will be explored in weight loss. The course will also introduce popular weight loss methods and their mechanisms. Finally, the knowledge learned in this course will be applied to daily life, allowing students to understand how to maintain body shape or lose weight to achieve health goals.
