Abstract：Objective According to the children’s traditional Chinese medicine constitution identification scale, to analyze the distribution of constitution and tongue characteristics of 609 children aged 1-6 who underwent physical examination in Changchun University of Chinese Medicine Hospital (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”), to explain the relationship and law of the two, and to provide a reference for the judgment and classification of children’s physique. Methods The children (1-6 years old) who underwent physical examination in our hospital from January to December 2020 were taken as the subjects, while the correlation between the two was analyzed by using the tongue image collection instrument and the method of issuing and filling in the scale. Results A total of 620 scales were distributed in this survey, 609 valid scales were recovered, and the effective recovery rate of the scales was 98.23%. There was a highly statistically significant difference in the tongue color of children with different constitution types (P ＜ 0.01). There was a highly statistically significant difference in the tongue shape of children with different constitution types (P ＜ 0.01). Different constitution types were positively correlated with tongue color and tongue shape (r = 0.397, 0.541, P < 0.01). There were highly statistically significant differences in moss of children with different constitution types (P ＜ 0.01). There was a highly statistically significant difference in the moss color of children with different constitution types (P ＜ 0.01). Different physique types were negatively correlated with moss (r = -0.276, P ＜ 0.01); different physique types were positively correlated with moss color (r = 0.305, P ＜ 0.01). Conclusion There is a correlation between traditional Chinese medicine constitution and tongue characteristics of 609 children aged 1-6 years old in our hospital. Tongue characteristics have a certain guiding role in the identification of physical constitution, and tongue characteristics can provide reference for the judgment and classification of children’s constitution.
