论卫气失常是肥胖的核心病机

依据《灵枢·卫气失常》的有关论述,结合先前所述的卫气具有气态、液态、固态三种形态的观点,提出卫气失常是肥胖发病之病机核心的论点,并进行了理论探讨。卫气生于水谷,是人体脏腑气化、肌肉运动的基础;多余的卫气可以转化为膏、脂存储于体内。若膏脂堆积过多,就会产生膏人、脂人、肉人,按照当代的认识,均属于肥胖范畴。因此,基于卫气失常阐述以肥胖为形态学特征的慢病病机,为采取少食多动的方法调整失常之卫气提供理论依据,对防治肥胖有指导意义。

Dysfunction of Defensive Qi as the Core Pathogenesis of Obesity

According to Lingshu·dysfunction of defensive Qi,combined with the previous viewpoint that Qi had three kinds of forms including:gas condition,liquid condition and solid condition,this paper put forward that dysfunction of defensive Qi is the core pathogenesis of obesity and has carried on the theoretical discussion.Defensive Qi originated from water and food is the foundation of human viscera Qi transformation and muscle movement. Excess defensive Qi can be converted into oil or fat stored in the body. If the cream or fat accumulation is excessive,it can produce fat people,people with excessive oil and fleshy people who all belong to the category of obesity according to the ancient understanding. Therefore,the dysfunction of defensive Qi as the core pathogenesis of obesity supplies the theoretical basis for eating less and exercising more to regulate the dysfunction of defensive Qi and guides the prevention and treatment of obesity.
