With the left and right cheeks regions (r = −0.466, −0.440).
Heat pattern scores had a negative correlation Had a negative correlation with a* values of the forehead and nose regions (r = −0.447, −0.576). Cold pattern scores had a positiveĬorrelation with L* values and a negative correlation with a* values of the left and right cheeks and nose regions (r = 0.573, 0.565, and 0.534), and Results: Intra-class correlation coefficients of intra- and inter-rater reliability ranged from 0.640 to 0.994. Finally, we examined the relationship between L*, a*, and b* values and the four pattern We randomly selected 10 samplesĪnd conducted intra- and inter-rater reliability tests. After taking digital photographs of the subjects’ faces, L* (luminance), a* (red-green balance), and b* (yellow-blueīalance) values of the five facial regions (forehead, left and right cheeks, nose, and chin) were calculated. The subjects were asked to complete Yin deficiency, Phlegm, Cold-Heat, and Food Methods: A total of 23 normal subjects participated in our study. Pilot study was to examine the relationship between facial color parameters and EAM pathological patterns. Introduction: According to East Asian medicine (EAM) theory, facial color serves as a diagnostic clue to pathological conditions.
