Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of modified fasting therapy using Gamrosu and herbal medicine on the changes of body compositions in women. We analyzed the medical records of 11 patients, who carried out modified fasting therapy at Dunsan Korean Medicine Hospital of Daejeon University. Body compositions (body weight, body mass index, body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, extracellular water ratio, abdominal circumference, thickness of abdominal subcutaneous fat, visceral fat area) were reviewed before and after modified fasting therapy. The body composition values (body weight, body mass index, body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, extracellular water ratio, abdominal circumference, thickness of abdominal subcutaneous fat, visceral fat area) decreased after modified fasting therapy. Results from this investigation showed that modified fasting therapy using Gamrosu and herbal medicine has positive effects on changes of body compositions.

한약을 결합한 감로수 절식요법이 여성의 체성분 변화에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위해 2018년 8월 17일부터 2018년 10월 24일까지 대전대학교 둔산한방병원 여성의학비만센터 외래로 내원하여 절식요법을 시행한 여성 환자 11명을 대상으로 감식기 시작일, 회복식기 종료일에 시행한 체성분검사 결과를 분석하였다. 분석 결과 절식 후 체중은 $2.52{\pm}0.86kg$, 체지방량은 $1.02{\pm}0.65kg$, 골격근량은 $0.83{\pm}0.62kg$, 세포외수분비는 $0.002{\pm}0.003$, 기초대사량은 $32.91{\pm}23.06kcal$, 복부 둘레는 $1.76{\pm}1.47cm$만큼 유의하게 감소하였다. BMI, 내장지방단면적, 복부지방두께도 절식요법 후 유의한 감소를 나타냈다. 이와 같은 결과로 미루어 한약을 결합한 감로수 절식요법은 외래로 내원하는 여성 비만 환자에게 적용하는 단기 절식 프로그램으로 활용될 수 있을 것이라 생각된다.
