Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: Many studies have been reported about Sasang constitutional distribution of cerebrovascular disease(CVD) patients. But there has been little study about the risk factors of normal persons between Sasang constitutions. So we studied to evaluate the risk of CVD between Sasang constitutions.
Methods: We retrospectively studied subjects without previous stroke(age{geq}40) who visited east-west medical examination center in Kang Nam Korean Hosipital, Kyung Hee University for last 2 years(1998.8.1.{sim}2000.7.31.). Sasang constitutional differentiation was performed by Questionnaire for the Constitution Classification(QSCC) II and subjects who couldn’t be classifiea by QSCC II were excluded.
Results : Total 363 subjects participated in this study(Taeyangin 0, Taeumin 103, Soyangin 113, Soumin 92, obscure 55). Diabetes mellitus(p<0.05), hyperlipidemia(p<0.01), obesity(p=0.000) were significantly prevalent in Taeumin. Hypertension and heart disease had no significant difference between Sasang constitutions.
Conclusions: This study showed that the risk factors of CVD were more prevalent in Taeumin. Therefore we guess that Taeumin has high risk of CVD
