Methods A total 124 medical records of elderly patients with multi-system diseases were analyzed using SPSS software, of which count data were represented by the raw data and analyzed using Student’ s test and the measurement data were represented by figure “0”or “1”and ana-lyzed using Chi-square test . And TCM syndrome were input separately according to disease nature or dis-ease location-“0”for none, otherwise“1”. Results The frequency of disease nature elements from high to low was listed as the following: yin deficiency syndrome ( 65 . 3%) , qi deficiency syndrome (58. 1%), heat syndrome ( 41. 1%), blood stasis syndrome ( 37. 9%), qi stagnation syndrome (36. 3%);that of disease location elements was listed as: spleen(54. 8%), kidney (49. 2%), liver (24. 2%) and lung (23. 4%). 75% patients over 80 years suffered form qi deficiency, higher than 50% patients less than 80 years old. The mean age of patients with qi deficiency syndrome was 77. 65 ± 9 . 98 , while that of heat syndrome patients was 73 . 14 ± 8 . 44 . The patients with qi deficiency syndrome were older than those without qi deficiency syndrome, and the patients with heat syndrome were younger than those without heat syndrome. The quantity of the disease in phlegm syndrome group was the most (6. 00 ± 1. 83), and there was a significant difference compared with other groups. The elderly patients suffered from diabetes, coronary heart disease or chronic lung disease had more TCM syndrome elements and more complicated syndromes, and the patients with chronic gastritis had less TCM syndrome elements and less complicated syndromes.
