Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: The evolution of healthcare from 18th-century reductionism to 21st-century postgenomic holism has been described in terms of systems medicine, and the impact of the built environment on human health is the focus of investigation and development, leading to the new specialty of evidence-based, therapeutic architecture. The traditional system of Vāstu architecture-a design paradigm for buildings which is proposed to promote mental and physical health-has been applied and studied in the West in the last 20 years, and features elements absent from other approaches. This review critically evaluates the theory and research of a well-developed, standardized form of Vāstu-Maharishi Vastu® architecture (MVA). MVA\'s principles include development of the architect\'s consciousness, universal recommendations for building orientation, siting, and dimensions; placement of key functions; and occupants\' head direction when sleeping or performing tasks. The effects of isolated Vāstu elements included in MVA are presented. However, the full value of MVA, documented as a systematic, globally applicable practice, is in the effect of its complete package, and thus this review of MVA includes evaluating the experience of living and working in MVA buildings.
UNASSIGNED: The published medical and health-related literature was systematically surveyed for research on factors related to isolated principles applied in MVA as well as on the complete system.
UNASSIGNED: Published research suggests that incorporating MVA principles into buildings correlates with significant improvements in occupants\' physical and mental health and quality of life: better sleep, greater happiness of children, and the experience of heightened sense of security and reduced stress. The frequency of burglaries, a social determinant of health, also correlates. Potential neurophysiological mechanisms are described.
UNASSIGNED: Findings suggest that MVA offers an actionable approach for managing a key social determinant of health by using architectural design as preventive medicine and in public health.

摘要：
未经证实：医疗保健从18世纪的还原论到21世纪的后基因组整体论的演变已经从系统医学的角度进行了描述，建筑环境对人类健康的影响是调查和开发的重点，导致了循证的新专业，治疗架构。在过去的20年中，传统的Vāstu建筑系统-一种旨在促进身心健康的建筑设计模式-在西方得到了应用和研究，并具有其他方法所没有的元素。这篇综述批判性地评估了一个成熟的理论和研究，标准化形式的Vāstu-MaharishiVastu®建筑(MVA)。MVA的原则包括建筑师意识的发展，建筑方向的普遍建议，Siting,和尺寸；关键功能的放置；以及睡觉或执行任务时乘员的头部方向。介绍了MVA中包含的孤立的Vāstu元素的影响。然而,MVA的全部价值，记录为系统的，全球适用实践，是它的完整包装的效果，因此，对MVA的审查包括评估在MVA建筑物中生活和工作的经验。
UNASSIGNED：对已发表的医学和健康相关文献进行了系统调查，以研究与MVA中应用的孤立原理以及完整系统相关的因素。
UNASSIGNED：发表的研究表明，将MVA原则纳入建筑物与显着改善居住者的身心健康和生活质量相关：更好的睡眠，更多的孩子的幸福，以及增强安全感和减轻压力的经验。入室盗窃的频率,健康的社会决定因素，也有关联。描述了潜在的神经生理机制。
UNASSIGNED：研究结果表明，MVA通过将建筑设计用作预防医学和公共卫生，为管理健康的关键社会决定因素提供了一种可行的方法。
