朝医四象体质身体质量指数、形态特征及相关指标的研究分析

Study and analysis on body mass index,morphological characteristics and relevant indicators of Sasang constitution in traditional Korean medicine

目的:通过对比朝医太阳人、少阳人、太阴人、少阴人四种体质的身体质量指数(BMI)、形态特征及相关指标水平,探讨BMI、形态特征及相关指标对朝医四象体质判定的价值,从而为朝医体质判定提供客观的基础指标,并为今后的健康管理和临床个体化诊疗服务提供依据。方法:为152例志愿者进行体质判定,并进行身高、体重、头围、颈围、肩围、腰围、胸围、臀围、血压测量及心电图检查。结果:太阴组收缩压明显高于少阳、少阴组;太阴组BMI值及腰围最大,头腰比最小;太阳组头围最大;少阴组胸臀比明显低于少阳组(P<0.05)。结论:朝医四象人体质BMI、形态特征(头围、腰围、臀围、头腰比、胸臀比)及收缩压水平存在显著差异,形态特征与传统朝医四象医学理论相符,BMI、头围、腰围、臀围、头腰比、胸臀比及收缩压水平可作为朝医四象体质判定的客观基础指标。

Objective:By comparing body mass index,morphological characteristics and relevant indicators of the four constitutions(the person of Taiyang,person of Taiyin,person of Shaoyang,person of Shaoyin)in traditional Korean medicine.To explore the value of BMI,morpholo gical characteristics and related indicators for the judgment of Sasang constitution in traditional Korean medicine.So as to provide objective basic indexes for the determination of the physique of the Asama physicians,and to provide a basis for future health management and clinical individualized diagnosis and treatment services.Methods:Conducted fitness determination on 152 volunteers,measured of height,weight,head circumference,neck circumference,shoulder circumference,waist circumference,bust circumference,hip circumference,blood pressure and electrocardiogram.Results:The systolic pressure in the Taiyin group was significantly higher than that in the Shaoyang and Shaoyin groups.The Taiyin group had the largest BMI values and waist circumference as well as the smallest head-to-waist ratio min.The Taiyang group has the largest head circumference.The bust-to-hip ratio in the Shaoyin group was significantly lower than that in the Shaoyang group(P<0.05).Conclusion:There are significant differences in BMI,morphological characteristics(head circumference,waist circumference,hip circumference,head-to-waist ratio,bust-to-hip ratio),and systolic blood pressure levels of Sasang constitution in traditional Korean medicine,and their morphological characteristics are consistent with the theory of Sasang constitution in traditional Korean medicine.Therefore,BMI,head circumference,waist circumference,hip circumference,head-to-waist ratio,bust-to-hip ratio and blood pressure level can be used as the objective basis for determining the physique of Sasang constitution in traditional Korean medicine.
