Research Study Objective 研究目标
Body Constitution is an evolving concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine regarding internal (related to the individual's own body) and external factors (related to the individual's environment) and their effect on the health of an individual. This survey seeks to understand how Body Constitution may be associated with chronic medical conditions (specifically Type II Diabetes Mellitus) in the ethnic Chinese population in Singapore. It is hoped that this may be useful in predicting an individual's vulnerability to such medical conditions and designing customised treatment plans for each individual. 体质是中医中一个不断发展的概念，涉及内感（与个人自身的身体有关）和外感（与个人的环境有关）及其对个人健康的影响。这项调查是想了解新加坡华裔居民的体质与慢性疾病（尤其是第二型糖尿病）之间的关联。我们希望这项研究能够预测个人对此类慢性疾病的脆弱性，从而为个人制定针对性的治疗方案。
