Objectives: This study was aimed to examine cold hypersensitivity tendency in the hands, feet and abdomen according to Sasang constitution among Koreans.
Methods: Multi stage stratified sampling was conducted for random selection of 1,100 participants aged ≥ 19 years, based on sex, age, region in Oct.2010. Cold hypersensitivity was measured using a questionnaire to score the extent of cold hypersensitivity in the hands, feet, abdomen. Subjects’ constitution was diagnosed by Korea Sasang Constitutional Diagnostic Questionnaire (KS-15). The cold hypersensitivity scores according to Sasang constitution were analyzed using logistic regression and one way ANOVA.
Results: On the one way ANOVA, Soeumin group’s cold hypersensitivity in the hands and feet scores were significantly higher than those of Taeeumin and Soyangin groups. However, there was no significant difference in the abdominal cold hypersensitivity scores by constitution. The regression analysis, adjusted for age, sex, and sociodemographic variables, showed that Soeumin group had significantly higher cold hypersensitivity effects of the hands (β = 0.105, p = 0.002) and feet (β = 0.099, p = 0.003) than Taeeumin group.
Conclusions: Soeumin group significantly had higher cold hypersensitivity scores in the hands and feet than Taeumin and Soyangin group.
