Objective: To screen the sub-health traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) syndrome indexes
and establish the corresponding relationship between sub-health syndromes-symptoms. Method: Expert questionnaire survey was used to test the authority coefficient and the coordination coefficient of experts
with use of means
sum of ranks
ratio of full marks to screen 63 symptoms included in the 6 TCM syndromes of spleen-Qi deficiency
heart-Qi deficiency
lung-Qi deficiency
liver stagnation
fire syndrome and dampness syndrome. A total of 40 experts were involved in the questionnaire survey. Result: The questionnaire recovery rate was 87.5%
and 34 valid questionnaires were involved in statistical analysis. The overall and individual questionnaire authority coefficient was 0.8 or higher
with statistical significance in overall and individual questionnaire coordination coefficient(P<0.01). The overall experts coordination coefficient was 0.479. After screening
finally 43 symptoms in 6 sub-health syndromes were selected. Conclusion: Under the condition of a high degree of authority and coordination for the experts group
it is effective and feasible to screen the sub-health TCM syndrome indexes by using expert questionnaire survey combined with the relevant mathematical evaluation indexes.
