Study summary

The purpose of this project is to design a health management model of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) preventive medicine that meets the need of healthy or suboptimal healthy people and bring up concrete policy and implementation recommendations of "promoting the development of TCM preventive medicine and health promotion services." This project will try to practice "Health management model of TCM preventive medicine" together with health promotion groups related to Taiwan Society of Health Promotion in the district of Shilin, Zhongzheng, Beitou, and Songshan in Taipei city, and plan to recruit 200 people in this promotion project.

Read the detailed description

As population aging and fast-paced lifestyle go on, chronic diseases increase rapidly and preventive medicine has become the key point of science in modern days. In addition, World Health Assembly urged member states to appropriately integrate traditional and complementary medicine into health services according to the resolutions of sixty-ninth World Health Assembly.(WHA69.24). To strengthen the foresight of health and welfare governance, Ministry of Health and Welfare lay down "2025 White Paper on Health and Welfare Policy", looking on ahead the needs of health care, preventive care, health promotion and social welfare.

With regard to "Developing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Health Care", the goal of "Promoting the development of TCM health promotion service" was set and the strategy of "Promoting the development of TCM preventive medicine and health promotion services" was used to develop TCM preventive medicine, which is applied to preventing disease and improving physical fitness. By establishing the TCM health care prototype of "health promotion" and "preventive medicine," this project will push the systemic development of TCM preventive medicine forward and improve suboptimal health by early intervention, proving people with multiple model choices in self-health management. This project will first form a multidisciplinary team to gather and analyze the domestic and international health promotion and management models of TCM or traditional medicine. Then systematically arrange and induct the literature references to establish the outline and draft of "Health management model of TCM preventive medicine." Furthermore, this project will try to practice "Health management model of TCM preventive medicine" together with health promotion groups related to Taiwan Society of Health Promotion in the district of Shilin, Zhongzheng, Beitou, and Songshan in Taipei city, and plan to recruit 200 people in this promotion project. The purpose of this project is to design a health management model of TCM preventive medicine that meets the need of healthy or suboptimal healthy people and bring up concrete policy and implementation recommendations of "promoting the development of TCM preventive medicine and health promotion services."

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Body Constitution Scores (measured by Body Constitution Questionnaire, BCQ)

    The measurement of Body Constitution Questionnaire will come out 3 scores: Scores of Yang-deficiency: ranged from 19-95 Score of Yin- deficiency: ranged from 19-95 Score of Stasis: ranged from 16-80 The higher the score, the worse the Yang- deficiency, Ying- deficiency and Stasis. BCQ measure

    Time frame: Change from Baseline Body Constitution Yang- deficiency, Yin- deficiency and Stasis Scores at 8 week

  2. Blood pressure

    Change of both systolic and diastolic pressure after 8 week

    Time frame: Change from baseline of both systolic and diastolic pressure at 8 week

  3. heart rate

    Change of heart rate after 8 week

    Time frame: Change from Baseline Heart rate at 8 week

  4. Heart rate variability

    Change of Heart rate variability after 8 week

    Time frame: Change from Baseline Heart rate variability at 8 week

  5. Blood oxygen concentration

    Change of Blood oxygen concentration after 8 week

    Time frame: Change from Baseline Blood oxygen concentration at 8 week

  6. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    Change of the global score of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index after 8 week The higher the global score, the worse the sleep quality. If the global \<=5, defined to have good sleep quality; If the global \> 5, defined to have bad sleep quality.

    Time frame: Change from Baseline global score of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at 8 week

  7. Brief Symptom Rating Scale(BSRS-5)

    Change of the total score of the Brief Symptom Rating Scale after 8 week. Score ranged from 0-24: the higher the score the worse the physical and mental condition.

  9. Pressure index

    Change of the pressure feeling after 8 week. Score ranged from 0-12: the higher the score, the heavy the pressure feeling.

    Time frame: Change from Baseline score of Pressure index at 8 week

  10. 2.44 meter stand-up test
