《中医体质量表(韩文版)》在韩国人群中应用的横断面研究

A Cross-Sectional Study of A Korean Population Using The Standardized Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire(Korean Version)

目的通过横断面调查,了解韩国人群中医体质类型分布规律,探索性分析影响韩国人群中医体质的影响因素。方法 2014年5—11月,选取居住于首尔地区的300例韩国人,运用《中医体质量表(韩文版)》调查其中医体质类型,比较不同性别、不同职业、不同体质量指数者的中医体质类型,并与中国常模的中医体质类型进行比较。结果 300例被调查人群中,平和质69例,其余8种偏颇体质225例,兼夹体质6例,居于前3位的偏颇体质类型为阳虚质(占14.3%)、湿热质(占13.3%)和阴虚质(占12.7%)。不同性别者的体质类型比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.05);不同职业者的体质类型比较,以及不同体质类型者的体质量指数比较,差异均无统计学意义(P>0.05);与中国常模的体质类型分布比较,差异具有统计学意义(P<0.01),其中韩国人群阳虚质构成比高于中国常模,气虚质构成比低于中国常模。结论韩国人群的中医体质类型存在性别差异,其分布情况可能与中国人群不同,但尚需要大样本数据的验证。

Objective To study the distribution pattern of constitutional types of traditional Chinese medi- cine （TCM） in the Korean population by a cross-sectional survey, and to explore the influencing factors for TCM constitution in the Korean population. Methods Three hundred Koreans living in Seoul were sur- veyed using the Standardized Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire （Korean version） from May to November, 2014, to investigate their constitutional types of TCM. The TCM constitutional type was compared between subjects with different genders, jobs, or body mass index （BMI）. The TCM constitu- tional type was also compared between the Korean population and the Chinese norm. Results In the 300 subjects, 69 had balanced constitution, 225 had only one of eight types of imbalanced constitution, and 6 had composite constitution. The type of imbalanced constitution with the largest population was yang-defi- ciency constitution （14. 3 %）, followed by damp-heat constitution （13. 3 %） and yin-deficiency constitution （12.7 %）. There was a significant difference in constitutional type between male and female subjects （P〈0.05）.There were no significant differences in constitutional type between subjects with different jobs （P〉0.05）. Moreover, there were no significant differences in BMI between subjects with different types of constitution （P〉0.05）. There were significant differences in distribution of constitutional types between the Korean population and the Chinese norm （P〈0.01）. Particularly, the proportion of people with yang- deficiency constitution in the Korean population was higher than that in the Chinese norm, while the pro- portion of people with qi-deficiency constitution in the Korean population was lower than that in the Chinese norm. Conclusion The constitutional types of TCM in the male Korean population are different from those in the female Korean population, and the distribution of the TCM constitutional types in the Korean population might be different from that in the Chinese population. However, these conclusions still need to be confirmed by the data with a large sample size.
