The Constitution Types Of Primary Dyslipidemia And Blood Lipids Index Correlation Studies

Purpose:This study will collect122cases with primary dyslipidemia and analyze their patterns of TCM constitution through the questionnaire method to enrich the content of patterns of TCM constitution. Then we will analyze the relationgship between patterns of TCM constitution and blood fat indexes of primary dyslipidemia in order to find if they have any correlations. The laboratory indexes can help to identify the patterns of TCM constitution with primary dyslipidemia if the result is significative. Therefore, the theory about the patterns of TCM constitution is more objective, which can provide the basis for identifying body constitution objectively.Methods:1. Collection of patients with general information, blood lipids a full range of the indicators that the total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), high desitylipoprotein,lowdensitylipoprotein, apolipoprotein(ApoAl), apolipoprotei n (ApoB)through questionaire method. Using Chinese medicine physical classification, be divided into nine kinds of physical types:Moderate physical, Qi deficient physical, Yang deficient physical, Yin deficient physical, Ecchymosis physical, phlegm Physical, Hot and humid physical, Qi stagnation physical, Special intrinsic physical. Analyze the relationgship between patterns of TCM constitution and blood fat indexes of primary dyslipidemia in order to find if they have any correlations.2. Statistics:to use mean±standard deviation or proportion to describe descriptive statistics, ordinal regression to analyze the correlation between patteren of TCM constitution and blood fat indexes of primary dyslipidemia. All statistics were carried out using SPSS18.0, spreadsheets using Access2007.Results:1. After analysis of the subjects’basal data, we found primary dysl ipidemia was closely correlated with unhealthy diet and life styles and lack of exercise. In primary dyslipidemia patients, the most common abnormal blood fat indexes were increase of both TC and LDL-C.2. In primary dyslipidemia patients, the percent of Qi deficient physical (62.30%) was remarkly higher than the other physical types. Phlegm Physical, Yin deficient physical, Qi deficient physical and Yang deficient physical were also very common in primary dyslipidemia patients, and each of the percent was higher than30%. Hot and humid physical and Ecchymosis physical were relatively less common (almost20%), wh ile pa ti en ts classified to special intrinsic phys ical and to Moderate physical were the fewest (almost5%). There were28male patients were classified to Qi physical, with the highest percent51.9%.23male patients were classified to phlegm Physical, with the second highest percent42.6%.In female patients, the first two most common physical types were Qi physical (48patients,70.60%) and Qi stagnation physical (30patients,44.10%).3. After analysis of the correlation between patterns of TCM constitution and blood fat indexes in primary dyslipidemia patients, we found that when the patients’LDL-C was increased, we should firstly classify them to Qi deficient physical and Yang deficient physical, ApoAl increased classify to Qi stagnation physical.Conclusions:In classification of patterns of TCM constitution to primary dyslipidemia patients, patterns of healthy qi deficiency, in which the mainly patterns were Qi deficient physical and Yang deficient physical, were very common. In patterns of xieqi prevail, the mainly patterns were Phlegm Physical and Qi stagnation Physical. Male patients were commonly classified to Qi deficient Physical and Phlegm Physical, while female to QI deficient and QI stagnation Physical. Our study found that LDL-C had positive correlation with qi stagnation Physical. However, because of limitation of our sample size, we can not deny the correlation between blood fat indexes and the other TCM constitution patterns.
