A Meta-Analysis of the Correlation Between TCM Constitution Types and Myopia
Objective:To study the correlation between myopia and TCM constitution types through a Meta-a-nalysis,identifying the distribution patterns of TCM constitutions among myopic patients and to provide a basis for the prevention and treatment of myopia from the perspective of constitution.Methods:Relevant literature on myopia and TCM constitution correlation was retrieved from domestic and international databases and the studies meeting the inclu-sion criteria were analyzed using Stata 17 software,and effect sizes were expressed as distribution rates,odds ratios,and 95％confidence intervals.Results:A total of 22 studies were included.Among myopic individuals,the most prevalent constitution types were Yang-deficiency(13％),Qi-deficiency(12％),Yin-deficiency(11％),and Qi-stagnation(10％).For mild to moderate myopia,Qi-deficiency accounted for 13％,and Yang-deficiency for 12％.For severe and pathological myopia,Yang-deficiency constituted 20％,and Yin-deficiency 15％.Compari-sons between groups indicated that Qi-deficiency,Qi-stagnation,Yang-deficiency,and Yin-deficiency were risk factors for myopia,while a balanced constitution was a protective factor.No statistically significant differences were ob-served for other constitution types.Conclusion:Qi-deficiency,Qi-stagnation,Yang-deficiency,and Yin-defi-ciency are the primary constitution types among myopic individuals,differing significantly from those in the general population.These findings may provide a starting point for the prevention and control of myopia through constitution adjustment.
