Abstract:
Objective T o explore the correlation between adult chest CT quantitative parameters and traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitution classification in adult persons with different body mass index(BMI).Methods The basic information of 205 adult subjects in the hospital was collected,including gender,age,height,weight,BMI,etc.They were divided into the low body mass group(BMI＜18.5 kg/mi2),normal body mass group(BMI 18.5-＜24.0 kg/m2)and overweight/obese group(BMI≥24.0 kg/m2)according to BMI.All subjects underwent the TCM constitution classification.The distribution of TCM constitutions a-mong the three groups with different BMI was analyzed.The quantitative chest CT parameters were collected,including fat content,muscle content,area of the middle slice of the transverse section image,transverse diam-eter,anteroposterior diameter,scan length,etc.The differences were compared among different TCM constitu-tions,individual basic information and chest CT quantitative parameters.Results In the low BMI group,the Qi-stagnation constitution was the highest;in the BMI normal group,the gentler constitution was the highest,while in the overweight/obese group,the phlegm-damp constitution was the highest.The gender,age,height,weight and BMI had significant correlation with the TCM constitution(P＜0.05).The fat content,fat vol-ume,muscle volume,area of transverse section ROI(AROI),transverse diameter,anteroposterior diameter and scan length/transverse diameter had significant correlation with the TCM constitution(P＜0.05).The differ-ences in BMI and fat content had statistical difference among the phlegm-damp constitution,Qi-stagnation constitution and the other Chinese medicine constitutions(P＜0.01).The fat content,fat volume and muscle volume had significant correlation with BMI(P＜0.01).The muscle content had no significant correlation with BMI(P＞0.05).The muscle content,scan length and transverse diameter/anteroposterior diameter had no significant correlation with the TCM constitution(P＞0.05).Conclusion The distribution difference of TCM constitution in adult persons with different BMI has the statistical significance.The chest CT quantita-tive parameters are closely correlated with TCM constitution classification.
