| ABSTRACT |
Objectives:
The aim of this study was to investigate weight gain effects of the Sungjangjeungbo-tang (Chéngzhǎngzēngbǔ-tang) on thin Korean preschool children.
Methods :
Sungjangjeungbo-tang is composed of 9 herbs for treating indigestion. We analyzed 119 preschool children who visited Kim Kijoon Oriental Clinic BOM from Jan. 1, 2006 to Aug. 31, 2011 with three criteria: 1) 2∼5yrs of age and BMI < 50th percentile on the baseline visit; 2) the child had taken the Sungjangjeungbo-tang for 1∼3 month(s); and 3) the clinic had records of both height and weight on the baseline and at least once over 1∼3 month(s).
Results:
Sungjangjeungbo-tang significantly improved BMI percentile in all groups. The changes in BMI percentile variations were larger in the 3 months group than in other groups, but not significantly. Gender, age and BMI on the baseline had no significant effects on the effectiveness of Sungjangjeungbo-tang.
Conclusions:
Sungjangjeungbo-tang positively affected on weight gain in thin Korean preschool children within 1∼3 month(s) of treatment. However, additional studies on functional dyspepsia or the change of energy intake were needed to know the factors related to weight gains. |
