Abstract:
Introduction: By the theory of traditional medicine the “wind, bile, phlegm” are all together been in whole human body, “speech“ and “mind properties” and their role is to regulate with normal function and pathology of the human body, diagnostic and therapeutically activity.
1 Traditional medical body constitutional types classified into “wind-, bile-, phlegm-dominated” (separately 3 types), combined types within 2 elements (“wind-bile, wind-phlegm, bile-phlegm”), and mixed (“wind-bile-phlegm”) type. There are totally 7 types of traditional medical body constitution.
2. Traditional medicine regards man as an unity of human body,“speech“ and “mindproperties”, meanwhile modern medical science regards mentioned above terms separately by the huge meanings
of morphology, physiology, psychiatry and psychology. Human body constitutions, anthropometrical determinant and features of stress are inextricably linked with each other so required to study them together as a complex situation. Objective of the research work: To determine correlation between traditional medical constitution and anthropometrical, psychological methods of human body study. Research material and methodology: For our work we chose some inpatients and relatively healthpeople,andconducttheepidemiological analytics research by cross-sectional method. 63-64 Result of research work: Among the all 500 people, who were involved in our research there were students, military personals, sportsmen and inpatients, admitted to a hospitals, at the departments of traditional medicine, respiratory, nephrology, gastrointestinal diseases and rehabilitation unit of Shastin’s central hospital and Traditional medical science technology and Production Corporation. From this 205 people or 41% were male, 295 or 59% - female. 63.2% for the people had obtained to our research, mostly have constitution combined both of the “windbile”, 98.4% (492 people) had suffered by stress from the total 500 people had obtained to the research and only 1.6% (8 persons) of people hadn’t had any stress situation. People with combined constitution of “wind-bile” mainly had a III level of stress as we compared body construction with a stress. The occurrence group`s 250 people had obtained to our research mostly have were the patients admitted to a hospital for treat and among them 24.8% of the patients mainly had a urogenital system pain and 21.6% of the patients mainly had a blood circulatory system pain as we show their sickness situation. People belong to “bile”, “phlegm” constitution mainly had a digestive system pain and the people belong to “bile”, “wind” `s constitution mainly had a urogenital system pain as we considered about organ system pain from a constitution of body construction point of view. Conclusion:
1. The people had obtained to our research, mostly have each constitution combined both of the “windbile” (63.2%), “bile-phlegm” (18.4%) and “windphlegm” (18.4%).
2. We also compared the human body weight amount with the previously defined “wind”, “bile”, “phlegm” amount in a human body (or given person) then we defined relevance between them. The “bilephlegm” combined constitution’s men body height average /1695.7±63.8/ is taller than “wind-phlegm” constitution’s men by 16.7 mm and “wind-bile” men by 21 mm, tne “bile-phlegm” combined constitution’s men body weigth’s /74.4±13.1/ heavier than “windphlegm” constitution’s men by 6 kg and “wind-bile” men by 7kg.
3. III level of stress was highest 43.6% percent and the IV level of the stress was lowest percent or 1.6%, as we conclude stress situation.
4. The highest amount of people (24.8%) mainly had a urogenital system problem and 21.6% of the people had blood circulatory system pathology among the occurrence group people had obtained to our research as we show their sickness situation.
