Abstract

Objective: To evaluate clinical characteristics and associated factors of the Qi-Yin Deficiency Syndrome (QYD) in patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM). Subjects and Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 304 T2DM patients at three hospitals in Ho Chi Minh City. Results: The median age, duration of disease, and BMI were 68 years, 72 months, and 23.08 kg/m², respectively; glycemic control was generally poor. The majority were female (57.2%), retired or unemployed due to illness (49%), non-smokers (69.4%), and had dyslipidemia (86%). Most participants resided in urban areas, and 43.4% had a family history of diabetes. The QYD syndrome accounted for 31.9%. Symptoms such as thirst, dry throat, fatigue, lassitude, back pain, frequent urination showed statistical significance (p<0.05); however, pulse and tongue signs (e.g., thready pulse, red tongue) did not differ significantly between groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: Factors including BMI, gender, history of stroke, peptic ulcer, and specific symptoms showed statistical significance in diagnosing QYD syndrome.
