Correlation between Cardiovascular Health Indexes and Chinese Medicine Constitution Types
Objective To explore the correlation between cardiovascular health indexes and Chinese medicine constitution types. Methods Cross-sectional study was adopted. All participants in the health examination were included as the study subjects in Xiangya Third Hospital of Central South University from June 1 st
2015 to June30 th
2017. A questionnaire survey was made based on the "self-test health examination scale". Blood pressure was measured. Body Mass Index( BMI) was calculated. Total cholesterol( TC) and fasting blood-glucose( FBG) were detected. Seven cardiovascular health indexes including 4 health behaviors( smoking status
BMI
physical exercise and healthy diet) and 3 health factors( blood pressure
TC and FBG) were investigated. Chinese medicine constitution differentiation was made. The correlation between cardiovascular health indexes and Chinese medicine constitution types was analyzed. Results Totally
3056 cases were included in the study. The difference of 7 cardiovascular health indexes in different age and gender
as well as the difference of Chinese medicine constitution types was significant( P < 0. 05). Qi deficiency constitution seemed to relate to physical exercise and BMI. Yang deficiency constitution seemed to relate to smoking
physical exercise
BMI
FBG and diet. Yin deficiency constitution seemed to relate to blood pressure. Blood stasis constitution seemed to relate to smoking
physical exercise and blood pressure.Phlegm-dampness constitution seemed to relate to physical exercise
blood pressure
BMI
FBG and diet. Dampnessheat constitution seemed to relate to physical exercise and diet. Qi stagnation constitution seemed to relate to smoking and physical exercise. Conclusion Cardiovascular health indexes seemed to correlate to Chinese medicine constitution types. According to population Chinese medicine constitution types
adopting aiming vascular health factors and behavioral intervention might help control cardiovascular diseases.
