Evaluation of the health status of the seniors: comments and prospects based on TCM
With the acceleration of the aging process of society and the transformation of the human disease spectrum to chronic diseases,the new healthcare model will gradually shift to “health maintenance-centered”. The existing health status evaluation models based solely on physical and chemical indicators can no longer meet the health needs of the seniors. Geriatric health status evaluation is the key to determine the health of the elderly and the precondition for maintaining health. At present,the TCM evaluation models for health status mainly include the classical evaluation model which is clinicians-centered,the criteria evaluation model which is scales-centered,the intelligent evaluation model which is centered on TCM treatment equipments,and the micro evaluation model which is indicators-centered,etc. The TCM emphasizes individualized and precise prevention and treatment,and its concept of “prevention before illness” coincides with the view of the "Healthy China Strategy". In the future,the establishment of a comprehensive health status evaluation technology system with TCM characteristics integrated with artificial intelligence will promote the development of the geriatric health industry,and how to achieve more high-quality,convenient,and humanized health services will become a hot spot for various types of research.
