A Study On The Effect Of 24-style Taijiquan On Regulating Phlegm And Dampness Constitution Of The Elderly

ObjectiveTo observe and study the changes of phlegm-dampness constitution and related observation indexes of the elderly before and after the 24-style Taijiquan exercise intervention.MethodSeventy-two elderly patients with phlegm-dampness quality were screened out and compared before and after the intervention.Twenty-four Taijiquan training intervention was conducted after the group was enrolled for a total of three months,the-conversion score and reduction rate of phlegm-dampness constitution and the symptom score and reduction rate of phlegm-dampness constitution were calculated and compared before and after the training intervention;Before and after the training intervention,72 elderly patients with phlegm-dampness were measured and recorded in terms of general physical quality index,body mass index,hip circumference,waist circumference,waist to hip ratio,as well as laboratory test index,fasting blood glucose(FBG)and blood lipids: TG(triglyceride)and TC(total cholesterol).Result1.72 elderly patients with phlegm-dampness constitution had significant difference in the conversion score of phlegm-dampness constitution before and after the training intervention(p<0.05).The conversion score of phlegm-dampness constitution after the intervention was significantly lower than that before the intervention,and the reduction rate of the conversion score of phlegm-dampness constitution was 50.06%..2.The scores of phlegm-dampness constitution symptoms of 72 elderly patients with phlegm-dampness constitution were significantly different before and after training intervention(p<0.05).The score of phlegm-dampness constitution symptoms after intervention was significantly lower than that before intervention,and the score reduction rate of phlegm-dampness constitution symptoms was 47.32%.3.The body weight,body mass index,waist circumference and waist-hip ratio of 72 elderly patients with phlegm-dampness were significantly different before and after the training intervention(p<0.05).After the training intervention,the body weight was reduced,the waist circumference and hip circumference were decreased,and the body mass index and waist-hip ratio were lower than before the intervention.4.The fasting blood glucose(FBG)and blood lipid(TG)and TC(total cholesterol)of 72 elderly patients with phlegm-dampness were significantly different before and after intervention(p<0.05).The values of triglyceride,total cholesterol and fasting blood glucose after training intervention were lower than those before intervention.ConclusionChoosing 24-style Taijiquan training intervention for elderly people with phlegm and dampness can improve their constitution to a certain extent,and can reduce their weight,waist circumference,waist to hip ratio,and blood glucose and blood lipids in elderly people with phlegm and dampness: TG(triglyceride)and TC(total cholesterol).
