Read author-participated research, conference materials and external evidence as different layers. The summaries below describe research questions and limits; they are not diagnostic or treatment claims.
Ryu JeongKun’s questionnaire-development study and Dr. DongKoo Yim’s BMI·food-preference study are shown with equal importance.
Kim, Ryu and Park explored item selection, hierarchical clustering and multiple correspondence analysis, identifying 47 core items and six clusters. This is a foundation for improving questionnaire reliability, not an automated diagnosis.
PubMedCheon, Yim and Kim compared SCAT2 with expert classification and examined group-level BMI and food-preference patterns. Classification agreement and food preference are not a personal prescription.

| Year / venue | Record and participation | What it contributes | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 · Jeju | Literature analysis of prevalence of major diseases by Sasang Constitution Yim DongKoo · Ryu JeongKun · Lee Jongheon | Review of 69 papers (1990–2023). It compares constitution-linked patterns across metabolic, allergic, pulmonary, digestive and neurologic outcomes. | Heterogeneous literature; not an individual risk calculator or dietary prescription. |
| 2024 · Vascular Management Association | Association between Sasang Constitution and metabolic-syndrome risk Yim DongKoo · Ryu JeongKun · 2024 academic meeting | Literature review (2000–2023) describing a higher metabolic burden signal in Taeeumin and lower burden in Soeumin across cited studies. | Confounding, classification agreement and study design vary. |
| 2025 · Vascular Management Association | Separate presentation file not yet located | The local source index contains the 2024 Vascular Association record and the 2025 Jeju record, but no distinct 2025 Vascular Association deck or abstract. | We will add it in the same format when the exact file or event record is identified. |
| 2026 · ISPB | Sasang Constitution as a Stratification Variable for Inter-Individual Variance in Nitric Oxide Response Yim DongKoo, Ph.D. · Ryu JeongKun · 16th International Symposium on Plasma Bioscience, Seoul | Narrative review and hypothesis generation connecting constitution-stratified variance with fermented NO platforms and plasma-generated NO water; proposes a staged collaboration roadmap. | No diagnostic or therapeutic efficacy claim. IRB, dose, blood pressure, vascular-function and adverse-event checks come first. |
Genomics, microbiome, nitric oxide physiology and AI/wearables provide methods and questions—not proof that Sasang-specific effects are established.
Explore gene–environment association without assigning constitution or destiny to one SNP. Report cohort size, confounders, effect size and uncertainty.
Track diet, sleep, stress and repeated samples over time. Do not convert a small comparison study into a personal treatment claim.
NO is an important physiological molecule, but constitution-specific effects require preregistered studies, IRB review and safety endpoints.
Use probability, explanation and uncertainty to support expert judgment and personal choice—not to replace them.
