Background and purpose: The cold-heat patternization is one of the most frequently use for diagnostic method in oriental medicine. But it is still an unclear scientific mechanism and the objective index. the aim of this study is to search the objective index of the cold-heat patternization, comparing with ordinary health test. Method: The study group comprised 101 Korean, male:female ratio 51:50, with a mean age of 49.74 years. The results of the questionnaires for cold-heat patternization were compared with the western health test that it consist of height, weight, muscle mass, body fat, WBC, Hb, ALT, AST, TG, Total cholesterol, glucose, HDL-cholesterol, free-T4 and TSH, measured in the health promotion center of the hospital of Chungnam university Result: The cold patternization were significantly higher in the women than the man. The somothing of the questionmaires for the heat patternization were positive correlated with TG, TSH, glucose, Hb, free T4, weight, musle mass(p<0.05). But there were no correlation in the gross. The somothing of the questionnaires for the cold patternization were negative correlated with the weight, musle mass, body fat, glucose, Hb and ALT(p<0.05), Especially there were strong negative correlation with the weight and muscle mass(p<0,01). Conclusion: The present study shows there is no definitive index for the cold-heat patternization in the ordinary health test. But the weight and muscle mass can be useful index of the cold patternization.
