|
|
Purpose : This study was performed to find differerces between postmenopausal and premenopausal women on HRV and DITI.
Methods : 26 postmenopausal women(mean age{pm}SD, 50.96{pm}2.75) and 26 premenopausal women (mean age{pm}SD, 49.46{pm}3.33) were compared with HRV which was conducted in the sitting position for 5 minutes. Temperature of specific acupoints-Indang, Chonjung(CV17), Kwanwon(CV4) was checked using DITI image and obtained {Delta}T1(Chonjung-Kwanwon), {Delta}T2(Indang-Kwanwon), T0(Kwanwon) value in each group.
Results : HRV measurements generally decreased in postmenopausal group than premenopausal group but there was no significance. {Delta}T1 increased significantly in postmenopausal group compared with premenopausal group. {Delta}T2 also increased in postmenopausal group but there was no significance.
Conclusion : It can be suggested that Chonjung(CV17) can be the useful point to evaluate postmenopausal women by using DITI.
