Abstract:
Comorbidities will be a challenge faced by both Chinese and Western medicine in the future.The coexistence of multiple diseases logically begins with a holistic view of life that integrates form,qi,and spirit,and a holistic view of disease that integrates dis-ease and syndrome.From a Chinese medicine perspective,the core pathogenesis of comorbidities involves the interaction between ab-normal qi transformation and physical damage.The key to treatment lies in restoring the disordered state of qi.The basis for formula se-lection is the formula-syndrome.The therapeutic goal of the formula-syndrome is not a specific disease,but rather a holistic differenti-ation and treatment of the entire body.The"formula-disease-person"diagnosis and treatment model for treating comorbidities is a model for innovative theoretical guidance in clinical practice.It offers three approaches to diagnosing and treating comorbidities:formu-la-disease correspondence,formula-person correspondence,and formula-disease and formula-person correspondence,which provides a more original perspective and broader thinking for the study of comorbidity.
