Purpose: It has been frequently noted that overweight and obesity have a stronger relationship to hypertension and diabetes mellitus than to the risk stroke. The purpose of this study is to find out whether Sasang constitutional Medicinal treatment in the stroke patients of Tae-um in has an effect on local or general weight loss.
Methods: Case-control study was applied. The experiment group is the 24 Taeumin stroke inpatients who were in hospital in Kyung-Hee Oriental Hospital from July 1, 2000 to October 1 and received Sasang Constitutional Medicinal treatment. The control group is the 13 Taeumin stroke inpatients who were in the hospital during the same period but didn’t receive Sasang Constitutional Medicinal treatment. In the two groups, body weight, BMI, the skin fold(㎝) of triceps, suprailiac, abdominal portion, and thigh and the circumference(㎝) of wrist, biceps, triceps, and W/H ratio were compared and studied for three weeks.
Results: 1. In the expreiment group, there were 8 women and 15 men, 23 in total and in the control group, there were 5 women and 9 men, 14 in total.
2. From two weeks later, there was a sifnificant decrease in the experiment group in weight loss, the ratio of loss, and BMI(p<0.05).
3. Concerned with the change in the skin fold of suprailiac portion, there was a significant decrease in each group(p<0.05). 4. Concerned with the change in the skin fold of Chunchu-Hyel portion(天樞冗), thigh and in the circumference of hip, W/H
ratio, there was a significant decrease in the ecpreiment group(p<0.05). 5. Concerned with the change in the value of Lipid Profile, GOT, and GPT, only Glucose(GLU) showed a significant devrease(p<0.05) in the experiment group(p<0.05). As Conclusion, Sasang Constitutional Medicinal treatment in the stroke patients of Tae-um-in has an effect on local or general weight loss.
