Methods TCM differentiation and syndrome data of 61 cases of patients with elderly frailty were investigated by"Elderly Frailty TCM Syndromes Investigation Form".Results Qi deficiency and yin deficiency were two common deficiency types in elderly frailty patients. Qi depression and phlegm dampness were two common excess syndromes.
