Abstract: Only a few years have passed by since the national health insurance began to be applied to the KANPO treatments. In order to grasp the patients profile of KANPO treatments, 3, 156 patients who consulted Shibuya Clinic from the lst of December in 1981 through the 30th of November in 1982, were analyzed. As the result; (1) in the respect of sex-age distribution in number, middle-aged female were most frequent. (2) the classification of chief complaints associated with the sex-age distribution seemed to suggest that the symptoms might change by aging from those of the upper respiratory tract or the skin lesion to arthralgia or lumbago, from the surface to the deep, or from the upper to the lower part of the body. we also tried to compare the result with this kind of reports of the others.
