Abstract
The study aimed to delve into the distribution of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) constitution types among college students in Guizhou Province. A sample of 828 sophomore students from a finance and economics university was selected using stratified and proportional sampling. These students' constitution types were then accurately determined through the administration of a standardized questionnaire. Results showed that 40.2% of students had a peaceful constitution, while 58.4% had a biased constitution, with 70% belonging to a single constitution type. Physical distribution included Pinghe (40.2%), Qi-deficiency (19.0%), Yin-deficiency (12.9%), Yang-deficiency (8.2%), phlegm-dampness (8.1%), damp-heat (3.9%), Qi-stagnation (2.7%), special nature (2.1%), and blood stasis (1.6%). Significant differences were found in physical fitness distribution based on students' geographical origin. Only 12% of students experienced physical changes during the study period. Overall, the distribution of TCM constitution types in the college showed certain regularity, with more students having a peaceful constitution. The constitution type remained stable over time, with rare changes observed.
