AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate the characteristics and distribution of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes related to sub-health status, analyzing 20 years of literature and data.
- The research identified 50 syndromes, with the most prevalent being stagnation of liver-qi, deficiency of heart and spleen, and deficiency of liver-yin and kidney-yin, while the spleen, liver, and kidney were the primary disease locations.
- The findings suggest that while the syndromes in sub-health status are diverse, the major syndromes and their elements are consistently prevalent, indicating the need for standardized research in this area.
Article Abstract
Objective: To probe into the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine syndromes and their element distributions in sub-health status.
Methods: Literatures on sub-health in past 20 years were collected, and a data bank was set up by using EpiData 2.0. The frequencies of syndromes and their elements were analyzed using SPSS 12.0.
Results: Out of the 50 syndromes obtained from the standardization of syndrome nomenclature, and the top three were stagnation of liver-qi, deficiency of both heart and spleen, and deficiency of liver-yin and kidney-yin. Spleen, liver and kidney were the top three of all the 14 disease locations. Qi-deficiency, qi-stagnation and damp pathogen were the top three pathogenicity types.
Conclusion: Although the traditional Chinese medicine syndromes in sub-health status are scattered in the distribution, the main syndromes take up a leading proportion and their elements are concise and concentrated in distribution. Therefore, it is necessary to make a standard study on traditional Chinese medicine syndromes in sub-health status from syndrome elements.
