Abstract:
Objective We aimed to study the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitution and related influencing factors in patients with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT).Methods A cross-sectional study method was used to enroll IGT patients who attended one of eight collaborating units across China between January and August 2021.Basic information was recorded,physical and laboratory examinations were completed,and the data on TCM constitution were collected according to the"classification and determination table of TCM constitution."Finally,patient information was entered into an Excel table,and the data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0.Results Among the 450 patients,a balanced constitution accounted for 37.3%,yang-deficiency constitution for 15.6%,phlegm-dampness constitution for 14.4%,and dampness-heat constitution for 10.9%.Among the biased constitutions,the proportion of men with dampness-heat constitution was higher than that of women,and the proportion of women with yang-deficiency constitution and blood stasis constitution was significantly higher than that of men(P<0.05).The triglyceride level of patients with phlegm-dampness constitution was higher than that of patients with yang-deficiency constitution(P<0.05);the HDL-cholestrol level of patients with yang-deficiency constitution was higher than that of patients with phlegm-dampness constitution(P<0.05);and the uric acid level of patients with phlegm-dampness constitution,dampness-heat constitution,or yin-deficiency constitution was higher than that of patients with yang-deficiency constitution,and the UA level was the highest in patients with dampness-heat constitution(P<0.05).Conclusion The distribution of TCM constitution in IGT patients was dominated by balanced constitution,followed by yang-deficiency constitution,phlegm-dampness constitution,and dampness-heat constitution.Gender,blood lipid levels,and UA levels were the main factors affecting the constitution status of IGT patients.
