【 摘 要 】

Background: To confirm that the four constitutions of the Korean medicine is closely related to the intestinal flora, and explore the influence of specific intestinal microbes on these four populations. Methods: We collect stoolsamples of four different physiques of the Taeeum, Soeum, Taeyang, and Shaoyang. Based on 16S rDNA ampliconsequencing, SPSS 18.0 statistical software and GraphPad Prism 8.0 mapping software, the body weight, body massindex, cholesterol and intestinal microcommunity composition of the four groups were analyzed and compared. Results: The results found that the body weight and body mass index of the Taeeum group were significantlyhigher than the Shaoyang group and the Soeum group, the body weight, cholesterol and body mass index of theTaeyang group were significantly higher than the Soeum Group. In the analysis of gut microbiota, the richness anddiversity of intestinal microorganisms and the abundance ratio of posterior firmicutes to bacteroides were alldifferent in the four populations, and there were 24 gut microbiota with significant differences (P < 0.05). Amongthem, the abundance of [Eubacterium] coprostanoligenes group of Taeyang people, Taeeum people, Shaoyangpeople, and Soeum people were 3.71, 9.62, 9.36 and 9.33, respectively. Conclusion: [Eubacterium]coprostanoligenes group may be related to the differences in cholesterol content of the four populations. Similarly, the firmicutes/bacteroidetes abundance ratio may also be related to the differences in body weight, blood glucoseand blood lipid among the four groups.
