Objectives
Sasang Constitution (SC) is determined by various physical and psychological attributes. Recently, skin properties
have been used effectively to describe SC types in clinics. In this paper, we investigated the constitution dependence
of skin elasticity and skin perspiration by using quantitative measurement devices.
Methods
The skin elasticity of forearm and the skin perspiration of forehead and philtrum were measured in 223 elderly
female subjects. To determine the subject’s constitution, we adopted the classification results from a newly developed
diagnostic tool. For the clarity of constitution, we excluded low-scored subjects in their SC classification.
Results & Conclusions
As a result, the elasticity hysteresis of forearm (EHFa) of Taeum-in group was significantly less than the EHFa
of Soeum-in group. Soeum-in group has high perspiration difference between philtrum and forehead (Diff.PhFh)
compared to Taeum-in group in a significance level of .05. Taeum-in and Soeum-in group were significantly classified
by EHFa and Diff.PhFh using a Support Vector Machine. |
