Study of Factors Involved in Tongue Color Diagnosis by Kampo Medical Practitioners Using the Farnsworth-Munsell 100 Hue Test and Tongue Color Images

Figure 6

(a) The <10 years of Kampo experience group and ≥10 years of Kampo experience group were divided into EHS < 30 (𝑛=30) and EHS ≥ 30 (𝑛=38) in each age group. There was no significant relationship between Kampo experience and high/low EHS. (b) The <10 years of Kampo experience group and ≥10 years of Kampo experience group were divided into 64–78 HS < 2 (𝑛=33) and 64–78 HS ≥ 2 (𝑛=35) for each age group. A significant difference was observed in the 64–78 HS < 2 group between the <10 years and ≥10 years of experience groups (χ ²-test, 𝑃<0.01). The ages were higher in the ≥10 years of Kampo experience group, but the ratio of 64–78 HS < 2 did not decrease.
