Correlation Between Congenital Endowment and Prevalence of Diabetes Mellitus in Middle-Aged People in Shenzhen Based on the Five-Circuit and Six-Qi Theory
Objective To investigate the correlation between the prevalence of diabetes mellitus(SM)in middle-aged people and the circuit-qi endowment,and to explore the high-risk circuit-qi factors for DM.Methods A total of 611 middle-aged DM patients from Shenzhen Futian Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine were included for the analysis.The features of five circuits and six qi as well as the combined circuit-qi features on the birth date of the patients were analyzed and then the influencing factors of DM prevalence were explored by chi-square test and Logistic regression analysis.Results(1)The distribution of the yearly circuit in the middle-aged DM patients showed that the excessive fire circuit(taihuo)accounted for the most,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=24.794,P=0.003).(2)The dominant circuit of the middle-aged DM patients was predominated by gold circuit and the guest circuit was predominated by deficiency water circuit(shaoshui),and the difference was all statistically significant(χ2=10.678,P=0.030;χ2=18.411,P=0.031).(3)The predominant qi of the middle-aged DM patients was predominated by taiyin wet-earth and the guest qi was predominated by shaoyin monarch-fire,all with statistically significant differences(χ2=15.268,P=0.009;χ2=11.282,P=0.046).(4)The distribution of the circuit-qi combination showed that mildly-rebellious year(the year of circuit generating qi)accounted for the most,and the difference was statistically significant(χ2=236.28,P＜0.001).(5)For the people born in the period with the dominant qi being taiyin wet-earth,the male had higher risk of suffering from DM than the female,and the difference was statistically significant(OR=0.554,95%confidence interval being 0.321-0.955,P=0.034).Conclusion The middle-aged people suffering from DM have the following five-circuit and six-qi features:the yearly circuit being predominated by excessive fire circuit(taihuo),the dominant circuit being predominated by gold circuit,the guest circuit being predominated by deficiency water circuit(shaoshui),the predominant qi being predominated by taiyin wet-earth,the guest qi being predominated by shaoyin monarch-fire,and the circuit-qi combination being predominated by mildly-rebellious year.The results indicated that the prevalence of DM in the middle-aged people is related to the congenital circuit-qi endowment,and the impacts of the factors of fire,cold,and dampness should be taken into account.
