Traditional Chinese medicine constitution and cardiometabolic multimorbidity: a nationwide cross-sectional study in older adults
QDC, YaDC, YiDC, and PDC were independently associated with CMM, suggesting that they may represent potential risk factors for its development. Incorporating constitution assessment into routine health evaluations could facilitate the early identification of high-risk subgroups and support the implementation of targeted, constitution-based prevention and management strategies, thereby contributing to reducing the prevalence and burden of CMM in older adults.
