OBJECTIVE: To study the common characters of sub-healthy people. METHODS: Questionnaire of clinical epidemiological investigation was adopted in the sub-healthy people. RESULTS: The commonest symptoms and their frequency in sub-healthy people were fatigue 78.7%, poor quality of sleep 73.4%, amnesia 59.9%, fatigue irrelievable after rest 59.1%, dry throat 59.0%, dizziness 58.6%, dry and xerotic eyes 58.3%, ache with distension eyes 57.8%, ache 56.4%, early awakening 52.7%, difficulty in falling asleep 52.5%, irritability 51.8%, etc. The commonest risk factors were lack of relaxation 60.4%, lack of physical exercise 58.0%, working with frequent extra shifts 56.7%, air pollution 56.2%, noise pollution 51.3%, etc. The commonest syndrome types in sub-healthy people were insufficiency of Pi-qi type 10.2%, Gan-qi stagnation and Pi deficiency type 10.1%, deficiency of Xin and Pi type 9.7 %, retention of dampness due to Pi-deficiency type 7.4% and qi deficiency type 4.2%, et al. CONCLUSION: The commonest symptoms in sub-healthy people are fatigue, poor quality of sleep, amnesia, irrelievable fatigue after taking rest, dry throat, dizziness, dry and xeritic eyes, ache with distension in eyes, ache, early awakening, difficulty in falling asleep, irritability, etc. The commonest risk factors are lack of relaxation and physical exercise, working with frequent shift, air and noise pollution. The commonest syndromes of sub-healthy people are insufficiency of Pi-qi type, Gan qi stagnation and Pi deficiency type, deficiency of Xin and Pi type, retention of dampness due to Pi deficiency type, qi deficiency type. These provides evidence for prevention and treatment of sub-health with TCM.
