- description
- The TCM Body Constitution Questionnaire (BCQ) was developed by Su and is a tool used to measure and study constitution deviations clinically. The questionnaire comprises 44 questions and employs a Likert 5-point scale (from 1, "Never happens," to 5, "Always happens"). The instrument consists of three subscales. The yang-xu and yin-xu constitution subscales each have 19 questions, and the stasis constitution subscale has 16 questions. The three measures share some questions. The higher the score is, the more significant the constitution deviation is. When the yang-xu constitution score is ≥ 30.5, the respondent is diagnosed as yang-xu. When the yin-xu constitution score is ≥ 29.5, the respondent is diagnosed as yin-xu. For the phlegm stasis constitution, the standard is ≥ 26.5 points. The instrument has favorable factorial validity. Cronbach's α of each subscale is 0.85-0.88, and Cronbach's αof the overall BCQ reaches 0.90.
