| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To explore the relationships between abdominal obesity and body-type obesity and TCM constitutional types in order to provide some evidence for adjusting constitutional bias and preventing and treating obesity. [Methods] Through cross-sectional survey, 983 data were collected from physical examination centers of two hospitals in Jiangxi and Anhui. The survey of TCM constitution was performed by standardized Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire (CCMQ). Use discriminatory analysis method to judge the Individual's constitutional types. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore the relationships of abdominal obesity, body-type obesity and TCM constitutional types. [Results] Both logistic regression model one and two showed: Phlegm-wetness type significantly increased the risk of abdominal obesity(OR1=2.92, 95%CI=1.76~4.86, P<0.01; OR2=2.74, 95%CI=1.63~4.60, P<0.01)and body-type obesity(OR1=0.36, 95%CI=0.20~0.67, P<0.01;OR2=0.38, 95%CI=0.21~0.70, P<0.01), and Yang-deficiency type significantly decreased the risk of body-type obesity(OR1=0.36, 95%CI=0.20~0.67, P<0.01; OR2=0.38, 95%CI=0.21~0.70, P<0.01). [Conclusion] Phlegm-wetness type is the main constitutional types of abdominal obesity and body-type obesity. |
