ABSTRACT: With further development of the bio-psycho-social
medical model, people began to re-examine the knowledge of disease and health.
The concept of sub-health has also been proposed in western medicine. Because
of the lack of a specific standard, it is difficult to make clinical diagnosis
and treatments for sub-health. Chinese medicine constitution theory has been
widely accepted in China, and has a set of executable standards. This paper
puts forward a new research method that connects the sub-health in western
medicine and Chinese medicine constitution theory together. The potential
relationships and influences between Chinese medicine constitution theory and
sub-health were analyzed and key content and research progress were discussed. The
research method in this paper will provide new ideas for sub-health research.
