Sasang Types May Differ in Eating Rate, Meal Size, and Regular Appetite: A Systematic Literature Review

飲食行為或許和肥胖與代謝失調的盛行率漸增有關連。四象醫學是韓國的一種傳統醫學，根據外在表徵和先天本質（包括飲食行為）將人的體質分成四類型。本篇研究目的為廓清四象不同型的人之飲食行為，並對未來相關研究提出建議。從六個韓國和一個英國數據庫中檢索相關文獻。最後找到十篇相關研究文獻。將檢索出的資料歸類為：食物的喜好、食用速度、食用開始和結束、用餐分量、飲食規律、日常食慾、飲食失調及心理因素。食用速度和用餐分量是最被關注且在四象類型中最有差異的特點。太陰型的人之飲食行為似乎與肥胖攸關，包括吃得快、吃得多和食慾好，此特點與少陰人正好相反。少陽人與太陰人或少陰人各有部分相似。未來的研究應使用更可靠、客觀和可量化的評估工具，例如：三因子飲食行為量表或荷蘭飲食行為問卷。

Eating behaviours may be implicated in the increasing prevalence of obesity and metabolic disorders. The Sasang typology, a unique form of traditional Korean medicine, classifies individuals into four constitutional types that differ in a distinctive complex of external manifestations and innate natures, including eating behaviours. Our aim is to portray a picture of the distinguishing characteristics of eating behaviours across Sasang types and to provide suggestions for future studies. Six Korean and one English database were searched to acquire relevant articles. Ten peer-reviewed relevant research articles were found. The extracted data were categorised into the domains of i) food preferences; ii) eating rate; iii) eating initiation and termination; iv) meal size; v) regularity of eating; vi) regular appetite; vii) eating disorders; and viii) psychological factors. Eating rate and meal size were the issues of most concern that more frequently were different among Sasang types. The TaeEum type seemed to have obesitylinked eating behaviours, including a rapid eating rate, large meal sizes, and a strong appetite, whereas those attitudes seemed to be in contrast with those of the SoEum type. The SoYang type shared similarities with both the TaeEum and SoEum types. Future studies should be conducted with more reliable, objective, and quantitative assessment tools such as the Three Eating Factor Questionnaire or the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire.
