Total is the average value calculated using the value of three regions (forehead, cheek, and nose). SE, standard error; CG, Cold-prescription group; HG, Heat-prescription group. ; . The analysis of statistical data was performed using ANCOVA. The mean and value were adjusted by covariates (age, BMI, and systolic blood pressure).
