Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives : The purpose of this study is to review the current Sasang constitutional research on obesity and to provide basic data for further development in the direction of better research.
Methods : Clinical research articles on obesity of the Sasang Constitutional Medicine were extracted from five database. Published year, published journals, and subjects of studies were classified. Clinical methods for the classification of Sasang type and diagnostic criteria for obesity were summarized.
Results : A total of 36 selected research articles were published from 1998 to 2020. And 20 articles(55.6%) have been published in Journal of Sasang Constitutional Medicine and Journal of Oriental Rehabilitation Medicine. Most of the clinical study subjects were studies that identified independent factors that were correlated with obesity by Sasang constitution type.
But these studies have not sufficiently reflected the distinctive characteristics of Sasang Constitution Medicine.
Discussion : Through this study, it was confirmed to the necessity of developing new research designs for obesity by Sasang cons titution and researching on obesity treatment through improvement of symptoms by using the already developed questionnaires that have proven reliability and validity, away from the research biased towards Taeeumin and Taeeumin’s prescription. If additional research based on this study is accompanied, it is expected that it can be utilized in typed obesity treatment fields.
