However, there is still a lack of guiding standards for TCM intervention in overweight individuals. This guideline is based on literature research and expert questionnaire surveys, integrating ancient and modern TCM understanding and intervention methods for overweight clinical problems, and providing normative guidance for TCM disease prevention intervention for overweight individuals from a practical perspective. This guideline has the following main features: It is a disease prevention intervention guided by TCM theory, with TCM characteristics, suitable for comprehensive hospitals, TCM hospitals, community health service centers, and health management centers; It combines modern and ancient literature to provide evidence-based recommendations with different levels of recommendation; Through literature research and e
