“…Participants' fatigue, pain, digestive problems, sleep disturbances, symptom severity, symptom duration, and recovery level after rest were examined using a structured questionnaire comprising 12 items with a 7-point scale for responses [26,27], which was also utilized in previous research [11,12]. We developed a questionnaire for this study using the physical symptom items from the symptom questionnaire developed by Lee and colleagues to assess health status based on discomfort symptoms [27].…”

“…We developed a questionnaire for this study using the physical symptom items from the symptom questionnaire developed by Lee and colleagues to assess health status based on discomfort symptoms [27]. The original questionnaire is reliable (total: Cronbach's α = 0.88, correlation coefficient = 0.631 via testretest; four physical symptoms: Cronbach's α = 0.87, correlation coefficient range = 0.514-0.673 via test-retest) [27] and valid (71% agreement and 0.418 kappa value, compared to a professional's examination) [26]. The Cronbach's alpha in this study was 0.875 (individual symptoms had Cronbach's α αs between 0.774 and 0.865).…”

Background Physical symptoms such as fatigue, pain, digestive problems, and sleep disturbances are chief reasons individuals seek primary care, as they affect health-related quality of life. We investigated the associations between various combinations of these common symptoms and individuals’ health-related quality of life. Methods This large-scale survey study of 1100 Koreans aged ≥19 years was conducted in 2017 using multi-stage stratified sampling based on region, sex, and age. Data were collected using questionnaires administered face-to-face; then, a linear regression analysis was performed to assess how the symptoms were related to participants’ health-related quality of life. Complex symptoms were defined as co-occurrence of two or more of the four symptoms—fatigue, pain, digestive problems, and sleep disturbances. Results The most frequently observed stand-alone symptom was fatigue, while the most common combination was fatigue and pain. When examined individually, fatigue, digestive problems, and sleep disturbances were closely associated with mental health-related quality of life, and pain was associated with physical health-related quality of life. Complex symptoms were also related to health-related quality of life. Lower physical health-related quality of life was strongly associated when fatigue and pain or all four symptoms were co-occurring, and the lowest mental health-related quality of life was seen when all four symptoms were present, after adjusting for all variables. Conclusions Symptoms can be present in various combinations and are significantly associated with health-related quality of life. Extra attention should be given to patterns accompanying fatigue and pain and to those involving more symptoms. This elucidated the characteristics of symptoms that affect the health-related quality of life of South Korean adults.

“…The participants will be instructed to complete the Obesity Pattern Identification Questionnaire, which is a tool to classify patients with obesity and those who are overweight into six subtypes of KM patterns [ 23 ]. The participants will also be instructed to complete other questionnaires that are used to identify the KM patterns (cold/heat pattern, deficiency/excess pattern, and Sasang constitutions) [ 24 , 25 , 26 ].…”

Lifestyle and physical characteristics affect body weight, and understanding these factors improves the precision of weight loss treatment. Many obese patients in Korea are receiving Korean medicine (KM) treatment, including herbal medicine and acupuncture, for weight loss. However, the real-world data (RWD) are insufficient in terms of being longitudinal and diverse. Weight Control Registry using KM is a prospective registry study that enrolls patients receiving KM treatment for weight loss and collects RWD from multiple clinics. The patients who are eligible for this study are aged 19–65 years, receive KM weight loss treatment, understand the study objectives, and consent voluntarily. Clinical data of patient characteristics and KM treatment patterns will be regularly collected until 2026. The longitudinal accumulation of various RWD will establish a high-quality study database for KM weight loss treatment. With this study, we expect to contribute to understanding the current trend of weight loss treatment with KM and solve further questions regarding this treatment.

Lifestyle, genomic types and non-communicable diseases in Korea: a protocol for the Korean Medicine Daejeon Citizen Cohort study (KDCC)

et al. 2020

IntroductionNon-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death worldwide, including in Korea; thus, customised techniques for chronic disease management for the prevention, early diagnosis and treatment of NCDs are crucial. The Korean Medicine Daejeon Citizen Cohort (KDCC) study has been tasked with developing precise health promotion model for preventing and managing chronic diseases that considers individual traits, lifestyle factors and clinical data based on traditional Korean medicine.Methods and analysisThe KDCC study is a prospective cohort study of the community-based population in Korea. This study will sample 2000 adults aged 30–55 years in Daejeon area using stratified cluster sampling. The baseline survey began in 2017 and was completed in 2019, and follow-up surveys will be conducted three times every 2 years until 2025. In follow-ups, factors related to cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome and relevant diseases, as well as respondents’ health status information, will be examined via questionnaire surveys and health examinations.DiscussionThe KDCC study will investigate the effects of an interaction of Korean medicine type with genome based, lifestyle and various clinical information on chronic diseases and individuals’ health status using longitudinal epidemiological data. These findings are expected to inform the development of tailored health promotion programmes based on precision Korean medicine.Trial registration numberKCT0004297.
