Abstract

Objectives: Waist circumference (WC) is the best simple anthropometric index of abdominal visceral adipose tissue accumulation and obesity-related health risks. We measured WC and other anthropometric indices to assess relationships between the abdominal fat distribution and Sasang constitution.Methods: 196 participants who completed a QSCCⅡ were measured some anthropometric indicies - height, weight and WC. Collected data were stratified by sex and analysed by oneway analysis of variances among constitutional groups. Results: In men, there were significant differences in weight, BMI and WC among Constitutional groups (P<0.001). In women, there were significant differences in weight and BMI, but there were no significant difference in WC among Constitutional groups.Conclusions: There was a significant relationship between taeumin men and abdominal obesty. But, in women, there was no clear relationship between abdominal obesity and participant's constitution.
