| To analyze the distribution of TCM syndromes and their correlation with metabolism indicator and inflammation indicator among middle-aged and elderly population with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) in Shanghai communities, thus providing experimental basis on traditional Chinese medicine treatment and evaluating its effect. Methods:A total of 604 cases with IGR from three communities of Shanghai were enrolled, and 6 physical examination indicators such as height, weight, blood pressure were collected. Meanwhile, 11 biochemical indicators such as blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting insulin (FINS) were tested. Also, objective tongue indicators were recorded. The data were then analyzed by SPSS 17.0 software. Results:1) The BMI, SBP, HR value in IGR population were higher than those of the non-IGR population (P<0.05). 2) Yin deficiency syndrome in the IGR population accounted for the major proportion (>50%); qi deficiency syndrome and heat syndrome in the (IFG+IGT) group and severe HOMA-IR index group took a higher proportion (40.26%, 10.23%). 3) Significant statistical differences were found in FPG, 2hPPG, HbA1c, TC, LDL indexes among the four syndrome factors, moreover, the value of 2hPPG, TC, LDL in heat syndrome group increased. Conclusion:The main syndromes of IGR population are qi deficiency syndrome and yin deficiency syndrome, mixed with heat syndrome and stagnation syndrome. People with heat syndrome have heavier glucose and lipid metabolism disorder, which might be related to the insulin resistance. |
