The standard divides physique into nine types: peace, qi deficiency, yang deficiency, yin deficiency, phlegm dampness, damp heat, blood stasis, qi stagnation and idiosyncrasy. Applied interdisciplinary methods such as epidemiology, immunology, molecular biology, genetics, mathematical statistics, etc., were established by clinical experts of traditional Chinese medicine, epidemiologists and physique experts for many times and included in the National 973 Plan.
