| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To investigate the relationship between health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution in healthy population and patients with chronic diseases. [Methods] A total of 21 164 subjects were included in this study. The HRQoL was evaluated by SF-36; the TCM constitution was evaluated by the Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire and classified by the Discriminant Analysis. Multiple Logistic Regression analysis was used to explore the relations between TCM constitution and HRQoL. [Results] The HRQoL score of gentleness type was the highest in both physical component summary (PCS) and mental component summary (MCS). The HRQoL score of qi-deficiency type was the lowest in PCS and that of qi-depression type was the lowest in MCS. The three constitutional types with the largest odds rations (ORs) in PCS of healthy subjects were blood-stasis type, phlegm-wetness type, and qi-deficiency type, while in MCS of healthy subjects and in both PCS and MCS of patients were qi-depression type, phlegm-wetness type and qi-deficiency type. [Conclusion] The correlation of TCM constitution and HRQoL was similar between healthy adults and patients with chronic diseases. |
