Abstract
|
From the perspective of "the relation of constitution and disease",the theory of "individuals' heterogeneous constitutions for the same disease" is proposed,and its basic point is that there are differences among individual constitutions during the development of the same disease,the differences of individual constitutions are dominant and prone to the adherence of disease and the change of illness,forming the background or basis for different types or different syndromes of the same disease. The theory of "individuals' heterogeneous constitutions for the same disease" has important theoretical and practical significance for revealing the material basis of "diversified treatments for the same disease",embodying the idea of individualized diagnosis and treatment,and promoting the advancement of the prevention and control of chronic diseases. |
