Objectives

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Metabolic Syndrome care program with Korean Medicine in public health center.

Methods:

The data were collected from 28 participations who joined Korean Medicine care program. The program was started from April of 2013 and finished November of 2013. The effect of Metabolic Syndrome were evaluated with blood pressure check and blood test, physical test.

Results:

The number of Metabolic Syndrome patients decreased after the program(−24.9%). Specially TG decreased from 83.321 to 80.036(p<0.05) and FBS also decreased 8.607(p<0.01) after the program. HDL increased from 47.821 to 53.000(p<0.01) but blood pressure didn’t change. BMI decreased 0.789(p<0.01) and abdominal obesity decreased 2.607(p<0.01) after the program significantly.

Conclusions:

From these study, the Metabolic Syndrome care program with Korean Medicine is worthy for treating Metabolic Syndrome.

Keywords: Metabolic Syndrome, Korean Medicine, TG, HDL, FBS, BMI, obesity
