Method : This study was conducted on 200 faculty members of two hospitals and two universities in 2017 through 2018. The study analyzed physical measurement, cold-heat questionnaire, body compositions and pulse characteristics.
Result : The heat-cold score, waist circumference, visceral fat area, and body water were different according to the Sasang constitution, in order of Taeum > Soyang > Soeum. The pulse energy difference was shown only in women.
Conclusion : There were differences in body composition such as heat point, waist circumference, internal fat area and body water content by constitution, and also difference by body mass in total energy in pulse examination. It is believed that there were significant relation between physical, physical and energy metabolic aspects through Sasang constitution. |
