ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the physical health of female college students with various types of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) constitution. Methods The physical health state of 608 female college students was evaluated by National Student Physical Health Standards issued by Ministry of Education and by TCM Constitution Questionnaire. And then the data were analyzed by regression analysis. Results(1)A total of 608 questionnares was issued, and 600 were responded,with an effective response rate being 100%. (2)TCM constitution types of the 600 female college students were classified into harmony constitution(208 cases), damp-heat constitution(180 cases),yin deficiency constitution(78 cases),Qi stagnation constitution(51 cases), Qi deficiency constitution (36 cases), yang deficiency constitution (31 cases), blood-stasis constitution(9 cases),phlegm-dampness constitution (7 cases),and specific constitution (none). (3)Of the 9 constitution types, the physical health of the female college students with harmony constitution was the best, with an excellent rate being 59.61% and the rate for pass and being good arriving to 39.90%. And the pass rate almost arrived to 100%. Of the 8 bias constitution types,the physical health of the female college students with blood-stasis constitution was the worst, with a failed rate of 88.89%, and then came the Qi stagnation constitution, with a failed rate of 74.51%. (4)With the 9 constitution types as the independent variables, and with the excellent grade(≥86 scores),pass and good grade(60-85 scores),failed grade(≤59 scores)respectively as the dependent variables, harmony constitution and damp-heat constitution were included into the model of Forward stepwise regression analysis for the excellent grade, yang deficiency constitution, yin deficiency constitution and phlegm-dampness constitution were included into the model of Forward stepwise regression analysis for the pass and good grade,and Qi stagnation constitution and blood-stasis constitution were included into the model of Forward stepwise regression analysis for the failed grade. Conclusion Harmony constitution is the dominant constitution type in female college students,and the physical health of the harmony constitution is the best. The scores of physical health vary in the students with different constitution types. TCM constitution has certain dialectical relations with National Student Physical Health Standards.
