About this study
Official title: Evaluation Project for the Development of Health Management Model for Chinese Medical Preventive Medicine
The purpose of this project is to design a health management model of TCM preventive medicine that meets the need of healthy or suboptimal healthy people. This project will try to practice "Health management model of TCM preventive medicine" together with health promotion groups related to Taiwan Society of Health Promotion in the district of Shilin and Zhongzheng in Taipei city, and plan to recruit 100 people.
Read the detailed description
With regard to "Developing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) Health Care", the goal of "Promoting the development of TCM health promotion service" was set and the strategy of "Promoting the development of TCM preventive medicine and health promotion services" was used to develop TCM preventive medicine, which is applied to preventing disease and improving physical fitness. By establishing the TCM health care prototype of "health promotion" and "preventive medicine," this project will push the systemic development of TCM preventive medicine forward and improve suboptimal health by early intervention, providing people with multiple model choices in self-health management.
This project will first form a multidisciplinary team to gather and analyze the domestic and international health promotion and management models of TCM or traditional medicine. Then systematically arrange and induct the literature references to establish the outline and draft of "Health management model of TCM preventive medicine." Furthermore, in July-September, this project will try to practice "Health management model of TCM preventive medicine" together with health promotion groups related to Taiwan Society of Health Promotion in the district of Shilin and Zhongzheng in Taipei city, and plan to recruit 100 people. The purpose of this project is to design a health management model of TCM preventive medicine that meets the need of healthy or suboptimal healthy people. The investigators expecte to bring out the prototype of "Health management model of TCM preventive medicine" and finish the follow-up promoting proposal of the draft in the meantime, which will discuss the possibility of applying this model to healthy or suboptimal healthy people and bring up concrete policy and implementation recommendations of "promoting the development of TCM preventive medicine and health promotion services."

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Body Constitution Scores (measured by Body Constitution Questionnaire, BCQ)
The measurement of Body Constitution Questionnaire will come out 3 scores:
Scores of Yang-deficiency: ranged from 19-95 Score of Yin- deficiency: ranged from 19-95 Score of Stasis: ranged from 16-80 The higher the score, the worse the Yang- deficiency, Yin- deficiency and Stasis.
Measured: Change from Baseline Body Constitution Yang- deficiency, Yin- deficiency and Stasis Scores at 8 week
Blood pressure
Change of both systolic and diastolic pressure after 8 week
Measured: Change from baseline of both systolic and diastolic pressure at 8 week
Heart rate
Change of Heart rate after 8 week
Measured: Change from Baseline Heart rate at 8 week
Heart rate variability
Change of Heart rate variability after 8 week
Measured: Change from Baseline Heart rate variability at 8 week
Blood oxygen concentration
Change of Blood oxygen concentration after 8 week
Measured: Change from Baseline Blood oxygen concentration at 8 week
Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index
Change of the global score of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index after 8 week The higher the global score, the worse the sleep quality. If the global <=5, defined to have good sleep quality; If the global > 5, defined to have bad sleep quality.
Measured: Change from Baseline total score of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at 8 week
Brief Symptom Rating Scale（BSRS-5）
Change of the score of the Brief Symptom Rating Scale after 8 week. Score ranged from 0-24: the higher the score the worse the physical and mental condition.
Measured: Change from Baseline BSRS-5 at 8 week
Dietary behavior Instrument
Change of score of the Dietary behavior Instrument after 8 week. Score ranged from 0-36: the higher the score, the better the eating behavior.
Measured: Change from Baseline total score of the Dietary behavior Instrument at 8 week
Pressure index
Change of the pressure feeling after 8 week. Score ranged from 0-12: the higher the score, the heavy the pressure feeling.
Measured: Change from Baseline score of Pressure index at 8 week
