OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationships between constitutional types of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and @entity11535 . METHODS: A survey of TCM @entity9528 in ocean sailors participating in a voyage was performed by using the TCM Constitution Questionnaire developed by Beijing University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, while the survey of @entity11535 was operated by Graybiel's diagnostic criteria. The incidences of @entity11535 among sailors with different types of @entity9528 were compared. RESULTS: Prior to the voyage, 50.3% of sailors exhibited a gentleness @entity9528 , 14.5% were of dampness-heat @entity9528 , 10.3% were of qi-stagnation @entity9528 , whereas the percentages of @entity942 , @entity14717 , @entity20247 , @entity1503 and special diathesis @entity9528 were 6.2%, 7.6%, 6.2%, 4.1% and 0.7%, respectively. None exhibited a phlegm-dampness @entity9528 . By the end of the 176-day voyage, the percentages of gentleness, @entity308 , @entity942 , @entity14717 , @entity20247 , @entity1503 , special diathesis and phlegm-dampness @entity9528 were 33.8%, 13.8%, 13.1%, 11.0%, 6.9%, 9.7%, 4.1%, 0.7% and 6.9%, respectively. The incidence of @entity11535 was 69.7% (101 sailors) during this voyage. The incidences of @entity11535 among sailors with different types of @entity9528 before the voyage showed significant difference (P<0.001). The incidence of @entity11535 was higher in the sailors with dampness-heat @entity9528 than in those with gentleness @entity9528 . CONCLUSION: Types of Chinese medical @entity9528 can be related to susceptibility to @entity11535 . Furthermore, ocean voyage may have an effect or influence on the type of Chinese medical @entity9528 of sailors involved.
