[[alternative]]The Study for the Relationships among Iris Sign, Blood Lipid Abnormality, and Arteriosclerosis

[[abstract]] 研究目的：根據2011與2012年國內十大死因公佈第二與第三名各為心臟病與腦血管疾病，故可知問題實為嚴峻，本研究目的即在以虹膜診斷學與心血管疾病指標相關研究，提供未來早期診療之依據。 研究方法與樣本：本研究係以2009年至2011年間某中南部城市之某診所體檢或就診且滿30歲中有虹膜之膽固醇環者一百位成年男女，男女各59與41位，並比對其虹膜之膽固醇環(顏色、厚度、範圍、總分)、心血管疾病之生理指標(含ASI、ABI、及TG、CHOL、LDL、HDL、LDL/HDL、CHOL/HDL血脂檢測六值)、與Framingham心血管疾病風險值之相關性。 研究發現：佛明罕風險值與心血管疾病之生理指標(ASI與ABI)與血脂指標均未達顯著相關，故不宜作為華人研究中有無心血管疾病風險的效標。男女樣本均發現虹膜膽固醇環之顏色及總分均與心血管疾病指標達顯著正相關。然男性樣本係以總膽固醇值及低密度膽固醇值為效標，而女性樣本係以ASI為校標。 研究結論：根據此研究發現男女之虹膜膽固醇環之顏色與總分來評估心血管疾病的風險確實達顯著正相關。本文也建議未來值得做進一步之準確率研究。[[abstract]] Background and Purpose: The heart disease and cerebrovascular disease were the second and the third death reasons among Taiwan people in 2011 and 2012, so the related diseases had been becoming a problem during years. The purpose of the study was to assure whether the iridology has a significant relationship with the onset of cardiovascular disease (CVD)to learn if the iridology can help. Methods: Totally 100 samples were collected from a clinic in middle south Taiwan, and all had a cholesterol ring in iris, which is the sign of CVD based on the iridology. Fifty nice were male, and forty one were female.. The cholesterol ring index, ASI, ABI, TG, CHOL, LDL, HDL, LDL/HDL, CHOL/HDL, and Framingham Risk Score were collected to learn if they were correlated each other. Results: It was found that the Framingham Risk Score should not be the criteria for the CVD, since it did not correlated with ASI, ABI, and other lipid figures. The color and total score of cholesterol ring had a significant positive correlation with CVD index. However, it correlated with CHOL and LDL among male samples and correlated with ASI among female samples. Suggests: Based on the finding of this study, the cholesterol ring of iris can be used as a sign for CVD for the people of both gender. Further study was also encouraged especially on the accuracy rate
