Overview
To further explore the application prospects of integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine in chronic disease prevention and control and health management, this study intends to establish a large, prospective, integrated Traditional Chinese and Western medicine cohort in Hubei Province. This study will conduct long-term follow-up and multi-dimensional data collection to systematically reveal the associations between Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution types and chronic diseases, the aging process, and multi-morbidity, thereby developing an integrated health management strategy with local characteristics. This study will fill the current gap in systematic evidence linking TCM constitutions to the prevalence of modern diseases, providing a solid demographic and biological foundation for the integrated development of Traditional Chinese and Western medicine. It will also contribute to meeting the needs for early disease warning, early intervention, and personalized care under the "Healthy China" strategic goal.
