What this trial studies

This observational study aims to establish a large-scale, longitudinal cohort of individuals aged 35 to 75 to investigate the relationship between Dampness Syndrome in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and various chronic diseases. Participants will be followed for five years with annual visits that include interviews, physical examinations, and biological sample collections. The study will analyze demographic data, lifestyle factors, and health conditions to explore the causality between TCM dampness syndrome and diseases such as diabetes, cancer, and dementia. The findings may lead to new treatment approaches for these chronic conditions.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could provide insights into new treatment strategies for chronic diseases linked to TCM dampness syndrome.

How similar studies have gone: While studies on chronic diseases and TCM approaches exist, this specific cohort study focusing on Dampness Syndrome is relatively novel.
