In medicine, it is well known that healthy individuals have different physical and mental characteristics. Ancient Indian medicine, Ayurveda and the Persian-Arabic traditional Unani medicine has two distinct approaches for the classification of human subjects according to their temperaments. The individual temperament is an important foundation for personalized medicine, which can help in the prevention and treatment of many diseases including COVID-19. This paper attempts to explore the relationship of the utmost important concepts of these systems called individual temperament named as Prakruti in Ayurveda and Mizaj in Unani practice using mathematical modelling. The results of mathematical modelling can be adopted expediently for the development of algorithms that can be applied in medical informatics. For this, a significant literature review has been carried out. Based on the previous researchers' reviews the essential parameters have been identified for making the relationship and hypothesis were framed. The mathematical modelling was adopted to propose the existence of the relationship between the parameters of such an ancient and rich medicine systems. The hypotheses are validated through the mathematic driven model. Doi: 10.28991/esj-2021-01258 Full Text: PDF

Background – Ayurveda is distinguished from other medical sciences by its principles of Prakriti based individualized treatment. Prakriti has an influence on the physical, physiological & psychological characteristics. Anthropometry have a long history of assessing nutritional and health status. Thus, this study can set an information background for integrating Ayurveda with modern medicine. Aim and objectives - To study the possible association of Prakriti with anthropometry of non-teaching staff from colleges in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Method – An observational study was conducted wherein participants were selected using purposive sampling. Non-teaching staff from colleges between age 20 to 60years, willing to participate were included in the study. Information about the demographic data, certain physiological, physical and psychological characteristics for the assessment of prakriti were taken, followed by the anthropometric measurements and body composition analysis. Results – The participants of Kapha dominant prakriti had significantly higher Body mass index(p=0.000), Body fat(p=0.000), Visceral fat(p=0.000), Basal metabolic rate (p=0.000), and muscle mass(p=0.000) compared to other prakriti groups among both genders. Body water was observed to be higher in Vata group in both genders, however the values were in a normal range. Conclusion - Prakriti has an influence on the anthropometric and body composition measurements of an individual. Prakriti assessment is a simple, inexpensive method to identify the individuals who are predisposed to nutritional problems which in turn is responsible for various diseases, where prakriti based individualized treatment and management can pose more benefit.
