To investigated the characteristics of patients with functional dyspepsia (FD) in terms of Sasang constitutional medicine.
A total of 116 patients with FD were recruited based on diagnosis by gastroscopy and symptomatic measurements. The distributions of Sasang constitutions and six syndromes in terms of TKM theory in the patients was compared with those from 1423 healthy subjects.
The distribution of Sasang constitutions for the patients with FD significantly differed from that for healthy subjects, especially among women; 36.7% vs 45.6% for Taeumin, 28.9% vs 33.9% for Soumin, and 34.4% vs 20.4% for Soyangin. Our results assumed a high prevalence of Soyangin women (around 1.7 folds), and Soumin (45.2%), in particular, had a high prevalence of "deficiency and coldness of spleen and stomach" compared with Taeumin (14.9%) and Soyangin types (15.7%).
This study identified a trend for the frequency of FD and the Sasang constitutions. The findings may provide new ideas for the study of prevention and management of FD,
探讨功能性消化不良(FD)患者在萨桑体质医学方面的特点。
根据胃镜检查和症状测量结果,共招募了 116 名 FD 患者。将患者的萨桑体质和 TKM 理论的六种证候分布与 1423 名健康受试者进行比较。
FD 患者的萨桑体质分布与健康受试者明显不同,尤其是女性;Taeumin 为 36.7%,Soumin 为 28.9%,Soyangin 为 34.4%。我们的结果假设 Soyangin 女性(约 1.7 倍)的患病率较高,与 Taeumin(14.9%)和 Soyangin 型(15.7%)相比,Soumin 尤其具有“脾胃肠虚寒”的高患病率(45.2%)。
本研究发现 FD 和萨桑体质的频率存在一种趋势。这些发现可能为 FD 的预防和管理研究提供新的思路。
