Objective To study the correlation between the survival quality of and the TCM constitutions aged people in Beijing with chronic Diseases.Methods By using the TCM nine-constitution scale and SF-36 survival quality scale

the survival quality and TCM constitutions of 880 cases in the 8 communities of Dongcheng district with 5 types chronic diseases including hypertension

diabetes

coronary heart disease

stroke

and malignant tumor were surveyed. The method of binary multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied.For the TCM constitution

binary variable was taken as dependent variable.The score of the eight dimensions of SF-36 scale was regarded as independent variables.In the statistical result

the forward-stepwise method was adopted to establish the Logistic regression equation.Results Except the special constitution

all of the other eight ones established the regression equations which were significant in statistics.Qi deficiency constitution had significant negative correlation with the physiological function and overall health state;yang deficiency constitution had significant negative correlation with the overall health state;yin deficiency constitution had negative correlation with the physiological function and positive correlation with the mental health;phlegmdamp constitution had negative correlation with the physiological function and overall health state;damp-heat constitution had positive correlation with the physiological function;blood stasis constitution had negative correlation with the overall health state;and qi stagnation constitution had negative correlation with the physiological function and mental health.Conclusion Of the nine TCM constitutions

the even constitution

qi deficiency constitution

yang deficiency constitution

yin deficiency constitution

phlegm-damp constitution

damp-heat constitution

blood stasis constitution

and qi stagnation constitution have close correlation with all dimensions of SF-36 survival quality scale.
