Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the effect of Eight Section Brocade on the lipid metabolism of people with mild dyslipidemia and phlegm dampness constitutionin communities.MethodsA total of 121 residents from the maple street community health service center and TCM outpatients in theXuhui district of Shanghai. Residents were randomizedly into intervention group with 61 residents and control group with 60 by the random number table method. Residents of control group received health education intervention daily, while residents of intervention group practiced Eight Section Brocade besides the education, All the residents continued their intervention until the 24thweek, and the index of blood lipid were evaluated.ResultsThe levels of serum TC 4.15 (2.06, 2.06) mmol/Lvs. 5.34 (3.18, 3.18) mmol/L,Z=-2.113; TG 1.55 (0.39, 0.39) mmol/Lvs. 1.77(0.38, 0.38) mmol/L,Z=-1.289; LDL-C 2.20 (0.42, 0.42) mmol/Lvs.2.50 (0.87, 0.87) mmol/L,Z=-1.237 of intervention group were significantly lower than those of the control group (P<0.05). The total effective rate of intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (91.8%vs. 76.7%;χ2=4.155,P=0.042). Conclusion The Eight Section Brocade with health education can significantly improve the community residents of lipid metabolism in Dampness-phlegmconstitution.
