Body Constitution Measurement & Related Health Promotion Principles
Present by Dr. Sunny Jui-Shan Lin
- Time: 13:30-15:00 & 15:30-17:00, June 20, 2024- Brief Description of the Workshop:
Medicine in the 21st century has entered the era of precision medicine, which considers an individual’s genetics, lifestyle, and exposures as determinants of their health and disease phenotypes. However, limitations in treatment of some diseases have yet to be overcome, such as degenerative diseases in geriatrics, cardiovascular diseases, cancers, autoimmune diseases, metabolic diseases, viral and drug-resistant bacterial infections, and psychiatric diseases. Most of these diseases have complex etiology and pathogenesis, and their treatment have not achieved much success by antagonistic pharmacological models adopted in the modern medicine. Therefore, the traditional medicine, which centers on the balanced interaction between human body and environment, is highly valued by the global academic community.
Chinese medicine (CM), an ancient system of personalized medicine, is gaining up-soaring popularity because of its tailored treatment for each individual. While making treatment strategy in CM, the focus is on the "patient" rather than "disease". It is thought that the state of an individual’s body constitution plays an important role in determining whether he get sick or not under the influence of the etiological factors.
The uniqueness of an individual’s constitution is highly stressed in clinical practice, and has been applied for more than 2,000 years to evaluate patients in states of sub- health, sub-disease or pre-disease. In this workshop, you will learn the core concepts of CM body constitution and realize your own body constitution by filling the Body Constitution Questionnaire (BCQ) which is a scientific instrument with good reliability and validity.
- What You Can Learn:- Core concepts and operational definitions of body constitution.
- How body constitution is transformed.
- Realize your own body constitution by filling the Body Constitution Questionnaire (BCQ).
- Important health promotion principles of each body constitution type.
- Anyone who wants to realize his own body constitution.
- Anyone who wants to understand the operational definitions and measurement of CM body constitution.
