Description

Constitution Determination Method {METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING CONSTITUTION}

The present invention relates to a constitution determination method, and more particularly, to a constitution determination method that can determine (discriminate) the constitution quickly and accurately by a simple method.

In general, the constitution that leads to the physical classification of human beings is genetically and acquired, and researches and opinions on these constitutions have been developed in various ways regardless of east and west. Saemaul constitution medicine is recognized as the most successful constitution theory.

The thought ideology of Yi Ma (1937-1900) is based on the "ideological structure theory", which is based on the Sun-in (Taeyang-in), Soyang-in (Taeyang-in), Tae-in (Taeumin), and Soin-in (소 陰 人). It is known to be an excellent theory that sets up four constitutions of) and provides new directions for the application of physiology, pathology, diagnosis, dialectic, treatment and drugs for each constitution.

Sunin (太陽 人) is urgent, eccentric, indifferent looking person, wide forehead, wide shoulders, weak lower body, bright body in the eye, intelligent in impression, clear subjectivity and good at doing great things However, it is known that the desire to explore the unknown world is strong, and about 10% of the Koreans are solar.

Soyangin people are impatient, cheerful, cheerful, loud, languid, impatient, hot, moody, quick-moving, easy-to-determine, instantly moving to action, upper and lower shoulders and lower body The weaker ones, kidneys and bladder function is weak, and Soyangin is known to be around 25% of Koreans.

Taeeumin (太陰 人) is a person of careful and careful nature, heavy, slow, slow action, fat calf and buttocks, weak intestine or bronchus, strong patient, once the beginning of work is pushed to the end Boone, and greedy people with good spirits and good guts appear, and the Koreans are known to be around 45%.

Soin-in (少 성격 人) is gentle, gentle, introverted, feminine, meticulous, meticulous, and misunderstood because of his narrow-minded mind, strong in jealousy, devoted to those who are affectionate and fit. It is known that the person who has a tingling tinge, a weak stomach, has difficulty digesting and frequently pretends, a weak upper body, and a hip and lower body is fat, and the noise level of Koreans is about 20%.

In order to apply the criterion of the constitution proposed by the emasu to the patient, first of all, it is necessary to first determine and classify the patient's constitution correctly. When treating a patient, under the correct constitution, prescribing medicines according to each of the four constitutions may cure the disease quickly and help the patient recover. However, if the constitution is incorrect and the wrong prescription is applied, It may not cure the disease, but may worsen the patient's condition.

However, in determining the patient's constitution, the subjectivity of the doctor cannot be completely excluded. Methods of determining filamentous constitution are also known in various ways. As a simple example, various methods are known such as determining the body shape, determining the personality, impression, morbidity, reaction after taking medicine, and acupuncture treatment. .

There are various researches on more objective and accurate constitution decisions. For example, morphological studies include scale, head promotion, quantification of the morphological features of the head, research of psychology using the QSCC I and II questionnaires, and diagnostics such as infrared thermography and genetic analysis. Research on objectification using devices.

As described above, various methods have been proposed to increase objectivity and convenience of the constitution diagnosis, but the constitution is not so simple as to be determined by any one fragmentary factor. To date, the QSCC II questionnaire is the only objective criterion that has been accredited by the Institute of Thought Medicine.

However, the questionnaire determination by QSCC II may be more objective and accurate than other conventional methods. However, the questionnaire determination may not be easy and may not be quick due to the long time required for the questionnaire of the subject (patient).

Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for determining a constitution that can determine (discriminate) the constitution quickly and accurately with a simple method for determining the constitution.

As a more specific object, the present invention is to provide a method for determining the constitution that can quickly and accurately determine (determination) of at least Soyangin, Taeinin and Soinin among four filamentous constitutions.

The present invention to achieve the above object,

Provided is a constitution determining method for determining one or more constitutions selected from the Sunin, Soyangin, Taeinin, and Soinin based on skin color.

At this time, each constitution may be determined based on the L * value and the b * value of the skin color according to the color difference meter. According to a specific embodiment, Soyangin and Taeinin can be distinguished by L * value, Soyangin and Soinin can be distinguished by b * value, and Taeinin and Soonin can be determined by distinguishing bb value.

In addition, according to a specific embodiment of the present invention, but determined based on the L * value and b * value of the skin color according to the color difference meter,

Regarding the mean L * value and the mean b * value of the cluster to which the subject belongs,

noise is if the b * value is less than 99% of the average b * value;

if the b * value is at least 99% of the average b * value and the L * value is at least 100.5%, it is a minor;

If the b * value is greater than or equal to 99% of the average b * value and the L * value is less than 100.5%, it can be determined to be Taeumin.

In addition, according to a preferred embodiment, if the population to which the subject belongs is selected from, for example, yellow race, Asian and Korean,

if the b * value is less than 15.5, it is noise;

if the b * value is at least 15.5 and the L * value is at least 61.5;

If the b * value is 15.5 or more, and the L * value is less than 61.5, it can be determined that it is Taeumin.

According to the present invention, it has the effect of determining (discriminating) the constitution quickly and accurately by a simple method based on skin color.

1 is a graph showing the average of L * value (L-value) according to each constitution.
Figure 2 is a graph showing the average of the a * value (a-value) according to each constitution.
Figure 3 is a graph showing the average of the b * value (b-value) according to each constitution.

As mentioned above, with regard to the determination of Sasang Constitution, the decision making method by QSCC II questionnaire has been recognized by the Sasang Medical Association as the most objective and accurate method to date. However, the decision according to the QSCC II is not easy and quick due to the long time required for filling out the questionnaire of the subject (patient). According to the present invention, as a result of repeated studies on filamentous constitution, it was found that there is a difference in skin color according to each filamentous constitution, and based on the skin color, it was found that simple and quick determination was possible and accurate.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The constitution determination method (hereinafter, abbreviated as "determination method") according to the present invention is determined (determined) based on the skin color of the human body. At this time, the crystal is preferably based on the facial skin color of the human body.

For example, the skin color is preferably evaluated by the value of the skin color of the face according to a standard color system defined by the CIE (International Lighting Commission) (hereinafter referred to as "CIE-Lab value"). Specifically, it is good to determine (discriminate) the filamentous constitution based on the CIE-Lab value of the skin color according to the colorimeter.

In general, the color is indicated by L * value, a * value, and b * value (CIE-Lab value) prescribed by the CIE. These three values represent three characteristics of color: brightness, saturation and color. The L * value represents lightness and is displayed from 0 to 100. The a * and b * values are plain coordinates (xy-coordinates) of the color difference system, where the horizontal axis is a * value and the vertical axis is b * value. At this time, the a * value is a red to green spectrum (Green to red spectrum), the + a side is red (red), the -a side is green (green), displayed as a value from -120 ~ +120 do. In addition, the b * value is a yellow to blue spectrum (Blue to yellow spectrum), the + b side is yellow (yellow), -b side is blue (blue), like a * value -120 ~ +120 It is expressed as a value up to. In addition, in displaying a color, it may display by Lch value as another color coordinate. At this time, the Lch value can be displayed as a Lab value through the operation.

According to the present invention, at least L * value and b * value among the CIE-Lab values measured by the color difference meter, it is possible to mutually determine (differentiate) between Soyangin, Taeinin and Soonin among four filamentous constitutions.

According to a specific embodiment of the present invention, Soyangin and Taeumin are determined (differentiated) based on the L * value, Soyangin and Noisin are determined (differentiated) based on the b * value, and Taeumin and Noisin are based on the b * value To make a decision.

Specifically, the Soyangin is distinguished from the Taeumin person by the L * value since there is a significant difference in the L * value, and the Soinin person is determined by distinguishing it from the noise person and the b * value since there is a significant difference in the b * value. In addition, the Taeumin people are distinguished from Soyangin by the L * value because there is a remarkable difference between the Soyangin and the L * value. And since there is a remarkable difference between Soyangin and b *, Soyangin is distinguished from Soyangin by the b * value.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, with respect to the average L * value and the average b * value of the cluster to which the subject belongs,

noise is if the b * value is less than 99% of the average b * value;

if the b * value is at least 99% of the average b * value and the L * value is at least 100.5%, it is a minor;

If the b * value is greater than or equal to 99% of the average b * value and the L * value is less than 100.5%, it can be determined to be Taeumin.

At this time, the cluster is a group to which the subject belongs, which may be divided into race, continent, country, age, and sex. For example, the population may be ethnic, such as Caucasian, black, or yellow race; By continents such as Westerners and Asians; By country, including Koreans, Americans, Japanese, and Chinese; Age group of 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, etc .; And male and female sex; And the like.

In addition, the average L * value and the average b * value, and the average of the L * value of all the Sun, Soyangin, Taeumin and noise people belonging to any one group (for example, any one selected from the yellow race, Asian and Korean) The average of b * values. For example, the mean L * value and the mean b * value mean, for example, the average of the L * value and the average of the b * value for all Koreans whose constitution is solar, Soyangin, Taeumin, and Soinin, when the population is Korean. do. More specifically, assuming that the population of the entire Korean population is 10 solar, 20 Soyang, 30, and 40 noise, the average L * value and the average b * value are 100 people. Mean average of L * value and b * value for (10 Sun + 20 Soyang + 30 Guinum + 40 Noise + 100).

In this case, the average L * value and the average b * value may be predetermined. For example, in the case of Koreans, the average L * value was about 61.13, and the average b * value was about 15.54.

Therefore, with respect to the average L * value and the average b * value of a predetermined cluster (subject to which the subject belongs), the range (range of L * value and b * value for average L * value and average b * value) is determined. On the basis of these, four kinds of filamentous constitutions can determine (discriminate) noise at least, Soyangin and Taeumin.

In addition, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, at least one selected from among the four filamentous constitutions, taeumin and noise, through at least L * and b * value of the CIE-Lab value measured by the color difference meter Accurate determination (determination) is possible.

For example, when the population to which the subject belongs is selected from yellow race, oriental race, and korean, as L * value and b * value of skin color according to a color difference meter,

if the b * value is less than 15.5, it is noise;

if the b * value is at least 15.5 and the L * value is at least 61.5;

If the b * value is 15.5 or more and the L * value is less than 61.5, it is determined as a Taeumin.

That is, based on the L * and b * values measured by the color difference meter, it is determined (determined) whether it is a cultivator, a lunar person, or a noise person. For example, if the skin color of the face is measured by color difference meter as L * value is 62.20 and b * value is 16.05, it is determined as Soyangin, and L * value is 60.50 and b * value is measured as 16.10. If it is measured as the sound of the sound, it is determined as the sound of sound, and if the value of L * is 61.40 and the value of b * is 14.85, it is determined as sound of sound. In another example, if the L * value is 61.50 and the b * value is 15.00, it is determined as a noise factor (determination). If the L * value is 63.00 and the b * value is measured as 15.50, it is determined (discrimination). , L * value is 61.00 and b * value is 15.50.

As described above, according to the present invention, based on the L * value and the b * value, at least one selected from the noise, Soyangin and Taeumin can be determined (determined) quickly and accurately by a simple method through a measurement through a color difference meter.

In addition, according to another embodiment of the present invention, the L * value and the b * value may be determined by further including an a * value. Although the a * value between each constitution is a slight difference, it is based on the L * and b * values, but the a * value allows for a more accurate determination (differentiation).

For example, the luniin / noisein is somewhat smaller, but there is also a difference in the a * value. Specifically, since the luniin / noisein has a remarkable difference in the b * value, it is basically distinguished by the b * value and additionally by the a * value so as to make a more accurate determination (differentiation).

According to a more specific embodiment, as the L * value, a * value and b * value of the skin color according to the color difference meter,

As mentioned above

if the b * value is less than 15.5, it is noise;

if the b * value is at least 15.5 and the L * value is at least 61.5;

If the b * value is 15.5 or more, and the L * value is less than 61.5, the decision is made (determined) as the lunar person,

In addition, a check operation may be performed to determine that the a * value is 10.5 or more, which is the lunar phase, and that the a * value is less than 10.5, the noise person.

For example, if the L * value is 60.50, the b * value is 15.0, and the a * value is 10.01, the L * and b * values can be used to determine the noise factor, but the L * and a * values can also be determined. It can be determined that the noise is. Preferably, it is determined based on the L * value and the b * value, and the a * value is preferably used as a confirming means (verification means) for the determination based on the L * value and the b * value.

The present invention described above can be usefully used, for example, in the following cases.

First, it can be used to determine which of the constitution of the subject is the sun, Soyangin, Taeumin and noise. At this time, the present invention can quickly and accurately determine (determined) whether the subject's constitution is selected from noise person, Soyangin person and Taeumin person based on L * value and b * value of skin color.

Second, when there is a group consisting of the Soyangin and the Taeumin (first group), a group consisting of the Soyangin and the Soinum (the second group), and a group consisting of the Tainum and the Soinum (the third group), according to the present invention, the first group In the case of the L * value based on the Soyangin and Taeuminin, the second group in the case of b * value, the third stage in the case of b * value can be distinguished.

Third, when the average L * value and the average b * value of the population (for example, Asian, yellow race, or Korean) to which the subject belongs, are determined, the subject's L * value and b for the average L * value and the average b * value are determined. The ratio of the values allows for a quick and accurate determination of whether the subject is at least a noisy, a literacy and a lunar person.

Fourth, in the case of a specific population (for example, Asian, yellow race, or Korean) to which the subject belongs, the L * and b * values can be used to quickly and accurately determine whether the subject is at least a noise person, a Soyangin person, and a Taeumin person. .

Fifth, if the subject's constitution is previously diagnosed (determined) through any means, for example, a Sasang Constitution Diagnostic Device, it can be used to confirm (verify) whether the diagnosis result is correct. In addition, the constitution diagnosis (discrimination) result through the Sasang Constitution Diagnosis device is a duplicate result (for example, 'Soyangin / Taeumin', 'Soyangin / Soinin' or 'Noisein / Taeinin') In this case, according to the present invention, one of the L * value and the b * value can be determined through the color difference meter. For example, if the constitution diagnosis (determination) results through the Sasang constitution diagnostic device is 'Soyangin / Taeumin' incorrect incorrect results, the L * value is measured by a color difference meter according to the present invention, the L * value is 61.5 If it is above, it can be determined (determined) as Soyangin and less than 61.5 in Taeumin. In addition, the determination of the sun person may use a separate filamentating constitution means (eg, a constitutional diagnosis device, etc.), and the determination of the sun person may be performed after or after the determination method according to the present invention.

As described above, according to the present invention, at least one selected from noise, yangyang, and luneumin can be quickly and accurately determined (determined) using a color difference based on skin color. Specifically, the present invention determines the constitution quickly and accurately by a simple method based on skin color, preferably a simple method based on the CIE-Lab value measured by a color difference meter, without using a questionnaire (QSCC II, etc.) as in the prior art. I can judge. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the suffering of the subject (patient, etc.) or the investigator (doctor, etc.) according to the constitution decision, and to provide convenience, and to make the decision at a low cost, thereby smoothly prescribing the medication or health care according to the constitution. You can do that.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be exemplified. The following examples are provided by way of example only to assist in understanding the present invention, whereby the technical scope of the present invention is not limited. The following example is an exemplary experimental example of the t-test performed to confirm (verify) the accuracy of the constitution determination method (constitution determination according to the CIE-Lab value) according to the present invention.

[Example]

56 healthy Korean women between 26 and 64 years of age were identified through a recognized Sasang Constitution Questionnaire Determination Program (QSCC II questionnaire).

As a result of discrimination according to the QSCC II, out of 56 Korean women, 22 were Soyangin, 20 were Taeumin, and 14 were Noisemaker.

In addition, the CIE-Lab value of facial skin color was measured using a colorimeter chromatograph for 56 Korean women (Soyang = 22, Taeein = 20, and Soin = 14). Based on the measured CIE-Lab value data, t-test was performed by analyzing the CIE-Lab values according to each constitution (average, standard deviation, etc.). Table 1 shows the average of Lab values according to each constitution. 1 to 3 are graphs of the following [Table 1], FIG. 1 is an average of L * values (L-value) according to each constitution, and FIG. 2 is a * value (a-) according to each constitution. Figure 3 shows the average of the average value of the b * value (b-value) according to each constitution. In addition, Table 2 shows the results of the t-test analysis.

<Average of Lab value according to each constitution> Remarks L * a * b * Noisemaker 61.35 10.09 14.72 Soyangin 62.34 10.41 16.02 Lunar 60.46 10.74 16.05

<T-test analysis result> Remarks L * a * b * Noisemaker / Taein 0.4685431 0.4168166 0.020903 Soyangin / Noisein 0.3704001 0.664709 0.03594 Taein / Soyang 0.026267 0.6234526 0.9556417

As shown in [Table 2], it was confirmed that Soyangin and Taeumin had a significant difference in L * value, while Noise and Taeumin had a significant difference in b * value. Also, it was confirmed that Soyangin and Soinin had a significant difference in b * value.

As described above, the results of the statistical analysis through the t-test showed that the results by the color difference meter exactly matched the results according to the QSCC II.
