Translational medicine is a new concept presented in recent decades, the core of which is to build a bridge between basic medical research and clinical application. From the beginning of constitution of Chinese medicine, clinical application has been given priority. Therefore, the idea of translational medicine is fully demonstrated in the research into the three key scientific problems of "classification of constitution of Chinese medicine", "relationship between constitution and disease" and "adjustment of constitution". Under its guidance, not only was the systematic theory of constitution of Chinese medicine established, but also the Constitution of Chinese Medicine Scale and the Standards of Classification and determination of Constitution of Chinese Medicine were developed, which translates methods of classifying the nine constitutional types into guidance for prevention of disease, management of health and clinical application. The research findings of constitution of Chinese medicine have been applied in clinical practice and public health, establishing the diagnosis and treatment model of constitution-disease-syndrome differentiation. The nationwide application of constitution differentiation has shown good effect. In the future, constitution of Chinese medicine should strengthen the evidence-based research and multi-disciplinary cooperation, and establish a research team on comprehensive constitution of Chinese medicine and translational medicine, to translate the findings into clinical practice and public health more accurately and quickly.
转化医学是近几十年来提出的一个新概念，其核心是在基础医学研究和临床应用之间架起一座桥梁。从中医形成之初，就优先考虑临床应用。因此，转化医学理念在“中医体质分类”“体质与疾病的关系”“体质调理”这三个关键科学问题的研究中得到了充分体现。在其指导下，不仅建立了系统的中医体质理论，还制定了《中医体质分类与判定》标准，将九种体质类型的分类方法转化为疾病预防、健康管理和临床应用的指导。中医体质研究成果已应用于临床实践和公共卫生领域，建立了“体质 - 疾病 - 辨证论治”的诊疗模式。体质辨识在全国范围内的应用已显示出良好效果。未来，中医体质应加强循证研究和多学科合作，组建中医体质与转化医学综合研究团队，以便更准确、快速地将研究成果转化为临床实践和公共卫生应用。
