Objective:To investigate the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)constitution among healthy people in North China.Methods:From August 2015 to April 2019,the population whose constitution examination results were healthy in North China was investigated and analyzed.The constitution distribution of TCM was analyzed,and the constitution distribution affected by different factors such as gender,age,BMI and eating habits.Results:Among 8 701 healthy people in North China,peaceful type was 48.04％,8 kinds of biased constitution were qi-deficiency type 9.86％,yang-deficiency type 13.98％,yin-deficiency type 4.83％,phlegm-dampness type 3.97％,damp-heat type 6.68％,blood-stasis type 4.21％,qi-stagnation type 5.23％and special diathesis type 3.20％.Among the 8 kinds of biased constitutions,the top 3 were yang deficiency type,qi-deficiency type and damp-heat type.From the perspective of gender stratification,the top 4 constitutions of male were qi-deficiency type,damp-heat type,yang-deficiency type and phlegm-dampness type.The top 4 constitutions of female were yang deficiency type,qi-deficiency type,qi-stagnation type and blood-stasis type.Damp-heat type and phlegm-dampness type were more in men than in women(P＜0.05).In terms of age stratification,peace type,qi-stagnation type,damp-heat type,phlegm-wet type and yin-deficiency type had significant differences in different age groups(P＜0.05).Peace type increased with increasing age,and damp-heat quality and phlegm-wet type decreased significantly with increasing age.In terms of BMI stratification,there were significant differences among overweight/obese people in peace quality,qi-stagnation type,phlegm-dampness type and yang-deficiency type(P＜0.05).In lean,normal and overweight people,yang-deficiency type,qi-deficiency type and damp-heat type are more common,while in obese people,qi-deficiency type,phlegm-dampness type and dampness-heat type are more common.With the increase of body weight,the proportion of yang-deficiency type decreases and phlegm-dampness type increases.From the point of view of eating habits,there were obvious differences in eating habits among Pingping quality,qi-stagnation type,yin-deficiency type and yang-deficiency type(P＜0.05).Conclusion:The differences in the distribution characteristics of different TCM constitutions in North China were considered to be related to the selection of healthy people,and the TCM constitutions of healthy people were related to region,gender,BMI and eating habits.
