Objectives: The basis research of aged people’s healthcare technology is very important, because our nation goes into an aged society rapidly. Especially in traditional medicine, pulse shapes of aged people were supposed to weak and empty pulse until now, but any objective measurement and compare research do not taken.
Methods and Results: Therefore in this study we design observation study to find characteristic of pulse between younger group (age ) and elder group (age ) in Busan area. We used 3-dimensional pulse analyzer ’3-D MAC’ (Daeyomedi Co., Ltd.). And major parameters for comparison are 1) pulse height (h1), 2) applied pressure, 3) pulse power (energy), 4) high pressure duration (w) and 5) R-AI.
Conclusions: According to analysis result, elder people’s pulse has more large value in pulse height, applied pressure and pulse power than younger’s that. It reveals that elder people in modernized lifestyle has Yang symptoms as well Yin symptoms. Consequently we need new method to care elder people’s health, and this means more important direction than old text book. From now on verification research with objective diagnosis device like 3-D MAC, must be activated to build of evidence in traditional medicine. Cause traditional medicine’s spirit of care and prevention is suitable to care elder people’s cardiac and cerebral vascular disease those are have close relation with elder people.
