中医体质三论

体质是人类生命的重要表现形式,自古希腊医学家希波克拉底和我国秦汉时期《黄帝内经》以来的医家一直重视研究人的体质,但两千多年来,中医体质一直未能形成专门的学术体系。通过多年的研究和实践,我们提出"体质可分论""体病相关论""体质可调论"三个关键科学问题,成为体质研究的总体框架。其中,人体生命过程中,受时空、遗传、饮食结构与心理等多因素影响,形成人群中存在个体差异,是体质可分论的基础;不同体质类型与疾病发生有其内在联系,并影响着证候的类型与演变,是体病相关论的基础;基于体质偏颇状态及动态可变性特征,从体质入手,调节人体整体机能,从而使其恢复健康,是体质可调论的基础。

On Chinese constitutional theory from three aspects*

The constitution is an important manifestation of the human life.Hippocrates,an ancient Greek physician,and Huangdi Neijing in the Qin and Han Dynasty of ancient China had paid attention to the study of the human constitution,but the TCM constitutional study has not formed a special academic system for more than 2000 years.Here three key scientific problems are raised on the base of researches and practices for many years including "theory on constitution being separable","theory on relationship between constitution and disease" and "theory on constitution being recuperable",and they form a general framework of constitutional studies.In human life process there are individual differences among people groups influenced by many factors,including time,space,inheritance,diet structure and psychology,which are the basis of the "theory on constitution being separable".There are internal relationships between different constitutional types and diseases and they affect the types and changes of TCM syndrome manifestations,which are the basis of the "theory on relationship between constitution and disease".To regulate the whole organism of the human body based on the biased status and dynamic changeability of the constitution for health recovering,which is the basis of the "theory on constitution being recuperable".
