- Abstract: Objectives: The purpose of this study is to understand the relationships among plasma glucose, blood pressure level and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) syndromes in Shanghai community residents, and provide a theoretical basis for the prevention of community chronic disease based on TCM syndrome differentiation.Methods: Residents above35 years old will attend the Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2 DM) risk assessment at Community Health Center. By distributing questionnaires and performing glucose testing, we screened the residents at high risk of T2 DM, and conducted a physical examination of them. Further, a body constitution questionnaire was required to be completed by the residents. Results: In total, 933 residents were screened. The plasma glucose and blood pressure levels related to age, waist circumference, hip circumference, body mass index (BMI) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) . Residents with increasing blood pressure have an increased risk of T2 DM (P ＜ 0.01) . Total 529 questionnaires were completed, and 129 subjects (24.4％) have single TCM syndromes, 75 subjects (14.2％) have at least two TCM syndromes and 325 subjects (61.4％) have no TCM syndromes. Conclusion: Plasma glucose and blood pressure are associated and interacted with several physical indexes. TCM syndromes distribution was found no significant change among subjects with different plasma glucose and blood pressure.
