The true nature of illness is interpreted by the theories of Yin-Yang Five Elements, meridians, acupuncture points, vital energy and blood and 5 viscera and 6 bowels of “Huangdi Neijing ” in China. There are 12 main meridians and 8 extra meridians. The main meridians are classified into yin and yang meridians. A yin meridian is divided into three, greater yin, lesser yin and faint yin, and yang is also divided into three, greater yang, yang bright and lesser yang. The 12 main meridians belong to the three yang and three yin meridians in each of the hands and feet. In Chinese medicine, the trueness of the body is determined by measuring the 12 main meridians. In the thermal sensitivity measurement method, diagnosis is performed by applying a thermal stimulus to the body surface of subjects corresponding to the meridians. In this paper, we are reporting the development of a meridian thermal stimulation diagnostic device that assists in the measurement and analysis using the thermal sensitivity measurement method. This method was used to measure the heat sensitivity in 31 Japanese subjects (13 males, 18 females, 65 to 90 years old), and 200 Chinese subjects (62 males, 138 females), and the association between glycative stress index and Skin AGEs Fluorescence (SAF) was analyzed. As a result, The Bladder Meridian of Foot-Taiyang and The Kidney Meridian of Foot-Shaoyin were found to have a significant association with SAF. When the measured values for bladder meridian and kidney meridian were within the standard range, SAF tended to be low. We plan to verify whether it is possible to predict the risk of disease in the pre-symptomatic stage by collecting measurement data on thermal sensitivity.
