Comment on “Manifestations of Sasang Typology according to Common Chronic Diseases in Koreans”

Abstract EN

This is a comment on “Manifestations of Sasang Typology according to Common Chronic Diseases in Koreans” recently published by Hong et al.

[1] that examined the psychological, physical, and clinical features of chronic diseases such as diabetes (DM), hypertension, functional dyspepsia (FD), major depressive disorder (MDD), and adenomyosis in university hospital outpatients using Sasang Personality Questionnaire (SPQ) [2], Sasang Digestive Function Inventory (SDFI) [3], and BMI.

The diagnosis and recruitment of various chronic disease outpatients are well organized, but the lack of review on SPQ studies and a miscalculation of SDFI limited the results and discussion.
