| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To examine the relationship between constitutional types of TCM and osteoporosis to provide the basis for the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis.[Methods] Using case-controlled study resign, the cases were selected from a cross-sectional survey on the TCM constitution and health survey database. The 401 patients with osteoporosis were taken as the case group, and 401 cases were randomly selected from healthy subjects as the comparison group. Standardized constitution in Chinese medicine questionnaire (CCMQ) was used to judge the individual constitutional types, while patients with osteoporosis were self-reported by the participants. A multiple logistic regression analysis was applied in the analysis of TCM constitution risk factors of osteoporosis.[Results] Compared with gentleness type, the occurrence risk of osteoporosis increased significantly in the next five pathological constitution types: OR: 2.3, 95%CI: 1.5~3.4 in patients with Qi deficiency, OR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.3～3.3 with Yang deficiency, OR: 2.1, 95%CI: 1.2~3.5 with Yin deficiency, OR: 2.5, 95%CI: 1.3~4.5 with Wet heat and OR: 2.8, 95%CI: 1.7~4.5 with blood stasis. [Conclusion] Some relevance was existed between TCM constitutional types and osteoporosis, and the pathological constitution should be actively adjusted for reducing the developing risk of osteoporosis. |
