Abstract：Objective To explore the relationship between sedentary behavior, the level of physical activity and traditional Chinese medical constitution of the elderly in the community. Methods Using the traditional Chinese medical physique classification and judgment scale and the short international physical activity questionnaire, a total of 1091 elderly people were selected from Ji’nan City, Shandong Province to conduct a questionnaire survey in December 2019. Results There were statistically significant difference in the traditional Chinese medical constitution of the elderly with different ages, family economic levels, education levels, and chronic diseases (P ＜ 0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the distribution of traditional Chinese medical constitution types among the elderly with different sedentary behavior and levels of physical activity (P ＜ 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that sedentary behavior was a risk factor for qi-deficiency (OR = 1.487，95%CI: 1.032-2.143), yang-deficiency (OR = 1.639，95%CI: 1.127-2.386), and idiosyncratic traits (OR = 2.063，95%CI: 1.019-4.178) in the elderly (P ＜ 0.05), while low-intensity physical activity was a risk factor for qi-deficiency (OR = 2.047，95%CI: 1.341-3.126), phlegm-dampness (OR = 2.563，95%CI: 1.304-5.041), and qi-stagnation (OR = 2.925，95%CI: 1.444-5.922) in the elderly (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The elderly should strengthen physical activity and reduce sedentary time to improve their biased constitution.
