Abstract
The Oriental medicine is useful for preventive health care to evaluate health in the viewpoint unlike modern Western medicine. We compared the health questionnaire of the Oriental medicine (OHQ57) with the health evaluation by the medical examination of the Oriental medicine, and examined the usefulness of the OHQ57. The subjects who agreed with this study were 101 people. The efficiency of the health evaluation of OHQ57 and the evaluation of the Oriental medicine was low with 29%. However, the total score of OHQ57 in the disease group by the healthy evaluation from the Oriental medicine was significantly higher than mibyou group. The efficiency of the healthy evaluation of OHQ57 was different from the healthy evaluation each of the tongue diagnosis, an interview and a pulse diagnosis. The total score of OHQ57 in the disease group by the healthy evaluation of the pulse diagnosis was significantly higher than mibyou group. The total score of OHQ57 by the healthy evaluation of the interview was high in order of health, mibyou, and disease. It was concluded that the improvement of the evaluation standard is necessary to raise usefulness of OHQ57.
