Abstract

Objectives The purpose of this study was to compare between baseline and follow up data after 5 years about the change of Sasang constitutional value. Methods Cohort data of educational personnel in D University was used. Korean Sasang Constitutional Diagnostic Questionnaire was used to compare Sasang value including body shape, temperament, and pathological symptoms in baseline with those of follow up. Paired t test, chi-square test, correlation analysis and cohen's kappa coefficient was used. Results Total 150 subjects participated in this analysis. Taeeumin, Soeumin and Soyangin was 71, 46 and 33 respectively. Height decreased in follow-up, and weight increased, accordingly body mass index increased(p<.05). The score of nocturia was significantly increased, and the temperature of drinking water was significantly decreased. The consistency rate of the Sasang constitutional values in KS-15 between baseline and follow up was 76%, and the kappa value was 0.607. Compared to the expert's diagnosis, the agreement rate was 66.7% in baseline and 69.3% in follow up. Conclusion As times goes by, Sasang Constitutional phenotype, such as body mass index, nocturia, and temperature of drinking water, and accordingly, the predicted value of Sasang constitution may be changed. Those who use Sasang constitutional type and therapy in clinics should consider these factors.
