The Analysis of Constitutions of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Relation to Cerebral Infarction in a Chinese Sample.

Abstract Objective: To investigate the relationships between the constitutions of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and patients with cerebral infarction (CI) in a Chinese sample. Methods: A total of 3748 participants with complete data were available for data analysis. All study subjects underwent complete clinical baseline characteristics' evaluation, including a physical examination and response to a structured, nurse-assisted, self-administrated questionnaire. A population of 2010 neutral participants were used as the control group. Multiple variable regression (MLR) were employed to estimate the relationship between constitutions of TCM and the outcome. Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the association of body constitution of TCM and CI. Settings/location: Communications and healthcare centers in Shanghai. Subjects: A total of 3748 participants with complete data were available for data analysis. Outcome measures: All study subjects underwent complete clinical baseline charac...
