ABSTRACT

1. Objectives This study is a pilot study to construct of metabolic syndrome model with constitutional type. We focused on the correlation of Metabolic syndrome(MetS) and ordinary symptoms with Taeumin at 40. 2. Methods 32 subjects who had taken health examinations and diagnosis of Sasang constitution from Oct 1, 2008 to Dec 31, 2008 at Kyung-Hee medical center were included and underwent B-mode ultrasonography for measurement of intima-media thickness of common carotid arteries. MetS was defined by the criteria of the criteria of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment PanelⅢ 3. Results and Conclusions Mean intima-media thickness of common carotid artery was higher in subjects with MetS compared with control subjects(0.56±0.12 vs 0.54±0.08mm) however The ordinary symptoms shown to differentiate the MetS group and the control group were related to "dark urine color," "dryness of eyes," and "night sweat" Therefore, these ordinary symptoms can be said to be indicators of the Taeumin with Mets syndrome.
