|
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship of Inyoung-Chongu pulse, body mass index (BMI) and Sasang constitution using pulse diagnosis device in college women. We measured the amplitude of Inyoung pulse, Chongu pulse, ratio of Inyoung to Chongu and ratio of Chongu to Inyoung on 69 college women. The data was analyzed by ANOVA and Pearson’s correlation coefficient using SAS program. The results were as follow. There was no significant difference in Inyoung pulse, Chongu pulse, Inyoung to Chongu ratio and Chongu to Inyoung ratio according to BMI and Sasang constitution. There was significant difference in BMI among Sasang constitution. BMI was significantly high in Taeeumin than in Soyangin and Soeumin. We concluded that there was no relation among Inyoung-Chongu pulse, BMI and Sasang constitution. Therefore, we need to expand the sample size for in depth study.
