아건강상태(亞健康狀態)에 처하여 있는 환자는 양의학적으로 뚜렷한 병리적 변화를 찾아보기가 쉽지 않다. 그러나 중의학의 병기이론을 근거로 하면 아건강상태(亞健康狀態)는 일정한 병리적 상태에 처한 것으로 인식된다. 즉 인체의 음양과 기혈이 편파(偏頗)되어 있으며 단지 그 변화가 초기단계에 있기 때문에 병태(病態)적 요인에 비하여 정도(程度)적인 차이가 있는 것으로 인식된다. 중의학이 건강에 대한 인식은 ‘천인상응(天人相應)’과 ‘음평양비(陰平陽秘)’, ‘정신내치(精神乃治)’란 관념이다. 주로 사람과 자연환경 및 외부사회간의 상호관계, 그리고 체내의 음양조화를 이룬 동태평형(動態平衝)을 중요시한다. 즉 인체의 기혈평형과 장부기능의 협조(協調)를 강조하고 기기(氣機)의 조창(調暢)이 건강의 근본(根本)이라고 인식한다. 시대적인 관계로 중의학에는 아건강상태(亞健康狀態)란 용어가 없지만 2000여년 전(前)에 성서(成書)된 중의학의 경전거작(經典巨作)인 ${\ulcorner}$내경(內經)${\lrcorner}$ 속에 일찍이 ‘미병(未病)’이란 개념(槪念)과 치미병(治未病)의 관념을 제출하였다. 이는 중의학이 미병선방(未病先防)의 의학사상을 나타내었고 주로 치병지미성(治病之未成), ‘치기미전(治其未傳)’, ‘차후방복’등 세 가지 방면의 내용을 제시된다. 또한 중의학은 양생학(養生學)에 대하여 특별히 중시하였고,${\ulcorner}$내경(內經)${\lrcorner}$에 대량(大量)의 편폭(篇福)으로 어떻게 양생하고 정기(正氣)를 보호해야 한다는 방법이 소개 되어 있다. 후세(後世) 역대의가(歷代醫家)는 그 내용을 더욱 충실(充實)케 하고 발전시켰다. 근대(近代)에 이르러서 중의학술(中醫學術)에 특유한 내용인 '미병학(未病學)'이 형성되었고, 그 이론체계 속에 아건강상태(亞健康狀態)의 예방과 치료에 관한 내용이 포함되어 있다.

Recently, with the development of advanced medical technology and the introduction of most advanced medical equipments, life expectancy increases accordingly. Many people want to live long-lived in health. Therefore, if it is possible to pre-diagnose the sub-health condition and formulate an appropriate treatment plan, we can prevent the disease and reduce social expenditure costs. In this study, we statistically analyzed the data in responding to each questionnaire for healthy biorhythm and sub-health among targeted members of a specific group. The analysis for the effects of healthy biorhythm to male and female showed that there was a significant difference between male and female. In the analysis of the effects of the conditions of healthy biorhythm to the 10 sub-health indicators, the significant effects of good and bad condition has been observed. The results of the decision tree analysis showed that all the respondents with poor hormone and urological sub-health status have bad healthy biorhythms. In summary, in this paper we have shown that it may be possible to improve the sub-health condition and prevent disease in advance if the healthy biorhythm is well controlled.

As we enter the 21st century, interests in health and quality of life have grown gradually. In this study, we analyzed the data in response to each questionnaire for life management and sub-health among targeted members of a particular group. The results of the analysis of life management have found no difference between genders at the 5% of significance level. In respect to gender, a differential analysis of sub-health, however, has shown a gender difference in which female students had significantly worse health conditions than male students in the areas of immune system, intestine, cerebral nerve, hormone, and urinary system. Moreover, we also have found no significant difference among colleges in terms of life management and sub-health. In conclusion, it was shown that sub-health is closely related with life management.

Nowadays, many people have much interest in health and quality of life. They can get information on foods known to have remedial value for certain illness from many healthcare experts on TV health related shows. Moreover, a lot of studies on these foods and their remedial value are consistently published. Thus, this study, on the ground that if we know prognosis of a certain disease in advance we can lead a better life without suffering from diseases, statistically analyzes specific students' responses to sub-health questionnaire. The analysis reveals that results of testing the equality of gender and 10 diagnosis indexes shows significant difference within 5% of significance level in 9 diagnosis indexes except for respiratory system. And the result of testing the equality of age and 10 diagnosis indexes indicates that there is no significant difference within 5% of significance level. In the study, students are divided into two age category. However, the age of 20s could be regarded as one category, which could be the reason why there is no significant difference.

Objectives : This study aimed to report observed effectiveness and safety of Taegeuk acupuncture for patients in sub-health status. Methods : We analyzed clinical medical records of 36 outpatients who have visited the Pusan national university Korean medicine hospital between March and June, 2010. Patients received 6 sessions of Taegeuk acupuncture according to their constitutional types. Hepatic dullness sound and symptom reduction were used for the evaluation of clinical effectiveness of Taegeuk acupuncture. One traditional Korean medicine doctor performed all treatment procedures and assessments. Patients were allowed to continue their previous medication during acupuncture treatment. However, no additional traditional Korean medicinal interventions except the acupuncture were conducted during the whole treatment period. Results : After 6 sessions of Taegeuk acupuncture, mean hepatic dullness sound scores (0~100) were reduced from $97.3{\pm}9.0$ to $24.3{\pm}23.7$ with statistical significance (n=36, p<0.001). Mean symptom reduction scores (0~100) were changed from 0 to $53.3{\pm}29.6$ with statistical significance (n=24, p<0.001). 24 patients reported 44 cases of additional improvements of perceived health condition during or after the treatment course. No serious adverse events related to the Taegeuk acupuncture treatment were observed. Conclusions : Taegeuk acupunture may be a feasible, effective and safe treatment intervention for patients with chronic symptoms. Further well-designed studies are needed to confirm those observed improvements and evaluate benefits of Taegeuk acupuncture.

비단은 비만을 기초로 한 당뇨병의 초기상태이며, 당내량 손상(IGT)은 당대사가 정상과 당뇨병 사이에 있는 아건강 상태를 말한다. 비단의 병인병기와 임상특징은 당내량 손상과 기본적으로 일치한다. 당내량 손상은 비만환자가 비단을 거쳐 당뇨병으로 발병되는 자연발전과정으로 비단과 당내량 손상의 공통적인 발병인소는 비만이며, 그 병리중심은 비위(脾胃)기능실조로 인한 당내량 이상으로 중의(中醫) 증형(證型)에 있어 허실(虛實)변화가 있다. 비단과 비만형 IGT 증후, 병리방면에서의 발생과 발전의 작용을 탐구하여 조기에 중약(中藥)을 사용하면 체중을 감소시키고 더 나아가 당뇨병을 예방하는데 중요한 임상의의가 있다.

Objectives : This work is aimed to reveal the relations between concepts of subhealth(mibyung) and Korean medicine patterns. Methods : We carried out a literature searching on Oasis, RISS, DBpia, Pubmed to summarize concepts of Mibyung. CNKI Searching also was performed with keyword related to mibyung(未病), subhealth(亞健康) and syndrome. Results : Korea, China and Japan have different concepts of mibyung. China's mibyung concept is relatively broader and wide which includes healthy, subhealth, development of disease and recurrence avoid. In contrast, Korea and Japan's mibyung concepts are focused on China's subhealth. Though Mibyung's patterns are varied widely depends on studies, China's studies of subhealth and TCM patterns showed that Deficiency patterns are diagnosed at high frequency in clinical study and literature study. Conclusions : This work could contribute to further study of subhealth(mibyung) and their relations to patterns, diagnostic methods and treatment efficacy.

A large number of chronic diseases is related to emotional issues. This study was to confirm a relationship between mood state and health status in terms of modern people's healthcare. Methods: Subhealth Questionnaire and Korean version of Profile of Mood States(k-POMS) were putted by 113 college students. And correlation and regression analysis was conducted. Results: Subhealth questionnaire and k-POMS proved a significant correlation. In particular, subhealth factor 3(mood) had a significant correlation with all factors of k-POMS. Subhealth factor 1(body), subhealth factor 2(life) and subhealth factor 6(society) had significant correlations with 5 factors of k-POMS. Subhealth factor 4(energy) and subhealth factor 5(heredity) did not show significant results. 'Fatigue' factor of k-POMS was proved to be the most important factor influencing the subhealth status and illness, indicating high correlations with all of subhealth status.
