The application of TCM constitution in the prevention and treatment of dementia in the background of comprehensive healthcare
Dementia is the focus and difficulty of chronic disease prevention and management among the elderly. Constitution is the basis of disease development. People with the biased constitution are more likely to suffer from dementia than those with the normal constitution. In the context of China’s national policy of comprehensive healthcare
combined with physical identification based on traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory
a diagnosis and treatment model for constitution-disease-syndrome differentiation should be applied flexibly in the prevention and treatment of different stages of the disease
and personalized TCM constitution intervention programs are formulated to correct the biased constitution to prevent and treat dementia
in order to reduce morbidity and mortality. For healthy people
health maintenance is based on constitution differentiation. Patients with subject cognitive decline should adjust their constitution to prevent occurrence of the disease. For patients with mild cognitive impairment
it is recommended to adjust their constitution to prevent further development of the disease. When the disease develops to dementia
it is necessary to combine constitution adjustment and syndrome differentiation to prevent the disease from getting worse. In the dementia stage
treatment can be based on the primary and secondary relationships between constitution
disease
and syndrome. For those people with a weak constitution
constitution adjustment should be preceded by disease and syndrome differentiation; when the disease progresses rapidly
disease differentiation should be the main focus
supplemented with constitution and syndrome differentiation; when the disease is stable
the focus is on the combination of disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation
supplemented with constitution adjustment. This can serve as a theoretical basis to the prevention and treatment of dementia. TCM constitution will make contributions to national healthcare.
