Abstract: Objective To compare and analyze the difference of cardiopulmonary reserve function of phlegm-dampness and peaceful constitutions. Methods A total of 102 cases were selected for the physi-cal examination in Air Service Department of Northern Theater Air Force Hospital,and divided into a phlegm-dampness constitution group of 50 and a peaceful constitution group of 52 according to their traditional Chinese medicine constitution. Both groups underwent the cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET),and the cardiopulmonary reserve function parameters such as the peak exercise load,peak metabolic equivalent,peak kilogram oxygen uptake,and peak oxygen pulse rate were compared be-tween the 2 groups. Results There was no significant difference between the 2 groups in age,as well as the history of smoking and drinking(P>0.05). Moreover,the average body mass index,neck circum-ference,heart rate reserve,and peak ventilation of the phlegm-dampness constitution group were signif-icantly higher than the peaceful constitution group,while the average peak exercise load,peak meta-bolic equivalent,peak heart rate,peak oxygen pulse,and peak kilogram oxygen uptake were signifi-cantly lower than the latter group(P<0.05). Conclusions Compared with the people of peaceful constitu-tion,those of phlegm-dampness have lower cardiopulmonary reserve function. Therefore,early physical intervention should be conducted to help them to get into a healthy lifestyle.
