Two years ago, the Taipei police commissioned a study of stress to be conducted by the Taipei City Psychology Center. It found that there is a high rate of psychosomatic illness among officers under 30, while officers in their 40s and 50s are more likely to have chronic illnesses. More than half of the 710 respondents reported high blood pressure, while 20 % reported ulcers and 10 % heart trouble.
兩年前，台北市警察局曾委託台北市立療養院做壓力評估發現，三十歲以下的員警罹患身心症的比例很高，四十到五十歲的員警，則以慢性病居多；七百一十位受訪者中，一半以上有高血壓，二成有胃潰瘍，一成有心臟病。
