Traditional Chinese medicine constitution characteristics and influencing factors for acute mountain sickness susceptibility in rapidly ascending high-altitude populations: a cross-sectional survey

Puntos clave

This research aims to identify Traditional Chinese Medicine constitution characteristics and their effect on susceptibility to acute mountain sickness (AMS).
Conducted a cross-sectional survey among rapidly ascending high-altitude populations.
Assessed TCMC types, specifically focusing on Qi-deficiency and its association with AMS susceptibility.
Evaluated modifiable risk factors including insomnia, anxiety, and low blood oxygen levels.
Qi-deficiency identified as the most prevalent TCMC type linked to AMS susceptibility.
Insomnia, anxiety, and low SpO2 were highlighted as key modifiable risk factors.
Finding indicates a need for TCMC-tailored prevention strategies for higher AMS risk individuals.

Resumen

Qi-deficiency is the most common TCMC type associated with AMS susceptibility. Key modifiable risk factors include insomnia, anxiety, and low SpO2. These findings suggest the importance of implementing TCMC-differentiated prevention strategies for AMS, including preemptive interventions to tonify Qi for susceptible individuals, psychological support, and sleep optimization.
