目的:对上海地区健康人群四季面色变化进行量化客观化研究。方法:应用舌面一体检测系统,观察上海地区健康人群四季面色特征。结果:四季面色R、G、B值结果显示G-B值秋季稍高,秋季与冬季G-B值有统计学意义(P<0.05),说明秋天面色偏于黄色;L、a、b值结果显示夏季a值最高,夏季与春季a值存在显著性差异(P<0.001),夏季与秋季a值存在显著性差异(P<0.001),说明夏季面色以红色为特点;b值春季较高,春季与夏季b值存在显著性差异(P<0.001),春季与冬季b值存在显著性差异(P<0.01),提示春天面色偏青;冬季面色L值最低,冬季与秋季L值有统计学意义(P<0.05),提示冬季面色较暗,面色偏于灰黑色。结论:证实面色随季节更替是存在一定规律变化的,且以客观测量和定量分析方法验证了中医学认为"人体面部色泽四季之间有一定变化"的理论。

The L, a, b values of the results showed that in summer the a value is the highest. There is significant difference on a value between summer and spring （P〈0.001）. There is significant difference on a value between summer and autumn （P〈0.001）. It showed that in summer the feature of facial complexion is red. The b value is relatively high in spring. There is significant difference on b value between spring and summer （P〈 0.001）. There is significant difference on b value between spring and win- ter （P〈0.01）. It showed that the facial complexion in spring is greenish. The L value of facial complexion in winter is the lowest. There is significant difference on L value between winter and autumn （P〈0.05）.
