Abstract

To achieve awareness of the initiative practice for health concept in the Chinese population, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) doctors should popularize TCM culture and knowledge among young people, people with a low level of education, in low-income populations, and in rural populations.

Keywords: Traditional Chinese medicine; Population health; Health knowledge; Attitudes; Practice; Awareness; Chinese population; Initiative practice for health

Core Tip: The Healthy China 2030 plan points out that by 2030, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) will play a leading role in preventing diseases, a synergistic role in the treatment of major diseases and a core role in disease rehabilitation. Spleen deficiency is considered a subhealth state in TCM and is prevalent among a large number of Chinese people. To achieve awareness of the initiative practice for health in the Chinese population, TCM doctors should popularize TCM culture and knowledge among young people, people with a low level of education, in low-income populations and in rural populations.
