ABSTRACT

Objective To discuss the incidence trends of hyperuricemia in people of different TCM constitutional types by analyzing the constitutional types of patients with hyperuricemia,and to lay a foundation for follow-up study in preventive and therapeutic measures for hyperuricemia.Methods 518 healthy people and 525 people of hyperuricemia were included in our research by identifying their TCM constitutional types by the self testing table of constitutional classification and determination of TCM promulgated by China Association of Chinese Medicine.Hyperuricemia's high-risk constitutional types were analyzed.Results People of dampness-heat constitution (24.57％),phlegm-dampness constitution (22.86％) and static-blood constitution (11.05％) were top 3 groups in occurrence rate of hyperuricemia,the risk ofhyperuricemia in these three groups above were significantly higher than the other constitutional types.On the contrary,the risk of hyperuricemia in the group of the mildly constitution (8.57％) and the group of qi-asthenia constitution (6.29％)were significantly lower than the other groups.Conclusion People of dampness-heat constitution,phlegm-dampness constitution and static-blood constitution were high risk groups of hyperuricemia,which deserved our attention in research of preventive and therapeutic measures for hyperuricemia.
