Objectives: The aim of this study was to elucidate the relationship between pulse types measured by pulse analyzer and several factors including smoking, drinking alcohol, exercises etc.
Methods: The subjects were 71 persons who were tested by oriental health examination. A self-reported questionnaire was used to gather age, smoking, drinking alcohol, exercise state and gender.

We analyzed the frequency of pulse types according to gender, ages, smoking, drinking alcohol etc by chi-square test with SPSS ver. 19.0.
