ABSTRACT

This article reviews the theoretical basis, research progress, and practical application of the TCM constitution and health-related behavior conglomerate model in health management. By systematically analyzing the core concepts of TCM constitution theory and combining the latest findings in health behavior research, it explores the interactive mechanisms between the two in disease prevention, health promotion, and personalized medicine. The article also evaluates the limitations of current research and suggests future research directions to provide new perspectives and methodologies for multidisciplinary research combining TCM constitution and health behaviors.
