中医体质分类与判定国家标准首次制定发布

Core Viewpoint - The approval and implementation of the national standard "Classification and Determination of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Constitution" marks a new phase of standardization and normalization in TCM constitution studies, providing strong support for enhancing public health literacy and optimizing health service models [1][2]. Group 1: Standard Features - The standard defines the characteristics of nine basic types of TCM constitution and the criteria for classification, which includes a comprehensive coverage of application scenarios across medical, public health, research, education, and health industries [2]. - The classification is based on the latest research results from 2009 to 2024, reflecting the most recent findings in TCM constitution studies, particularly for types such as平和质 (Balanced Constitution), 气虚质 (Qi Deficiency Constitution), 阳虚质 (Yang Deficiency Constitution), and others [2]. - A standardized identification method is established, simplifying the complex classification process by selecting typical symptoms associated with different constitutions and matching them with a scoring algorithm, thus promoting the identification and application of TCM constitution [2].
