ABSTRACT

Objectives The purpose of this study is to estimate the differences in sensory responses(Visual, Auditory, Olfactory and Taste responses) among Sasang Constitution. Methods We recruited 90 healthy subjects who were divided into three groups(30 Soeumin, 30 Soyangin, 30 Taeeumin). First, subjects saw the photo of ‘the dress' and were asked to answer three questions about 'the dress'. And we evaluated auditory function by a Tone Deaf Test(TDT) and Adaptive Pitch Test(APT). Olfactory function was evaluated by using Korean Version of Sniffing' Sticks(KVSS) Test II and Taste function was evaluated by using taste strips. Results and Conclusion 1. Overall, 60% of subjects described 'the dress' as blue/black(B/B); 23.3% as white/gold(W/G); 16.7% as something else, and the difference in the proportion of reporting color of 'the dress' was statistically significant. 2. As the result of analysis of taste strips according to Sasang constitution, there was significant difference that Soyangin scored higher than Soeumin in sweet taste score. 3. As the results of analysis of auditory function test(TDT, APT) and that of olfactory function test(KVSS Test II) according to Sasang constitution, there were no statistically significant differences.
