Abstract This research aims to understand the current status of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution types and personality traits among middle-aged and elderly individuals in Singapore. The study further analyses the correlation between different TCM constitution types and personality traits. The research utilized the " Body Constitution in TCM theory" and the " Five personalities study" as survey tools, employing a questionnaire survey method with a random sample of middle-aged and elderly individuals in Singapore. Out of 300 distributed questionnaires, 244 valid responses were collected. The collected data were analysed using descriptive statistics, multifactor analysis of variance, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. The summarized research results are as follows: 1. Sleep Habits of Middle-aged and Elderly People in Singapore Middle-aged and elderly individuals in Singapore tend to have sleep habits that lean towards early to bed and early to rise, or late to bed and early to rise. This demographic in Singapore generally needs consistent exercise habits. 2. Analysis of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Constitution Types and Psychological Characteristics of Middle-aged and Elderly People in Singapore. The balanced constitution type presentation is moderately to highly prevalent among middle-aged and elderly individuals in Singapore. In terms of psychological characteristics, these demographic exhibits high conscientiousness, friendliness, and extroversion. 3. Gender Differences in TCM Constitution Types and Psychological Characteristics among Middle-aged and Elderly People in Singapore Female seniors in Singapore iv score higher in the "yang deficiency" aspect compared to male seniors, while male seniors score higher in the "damp-heat" aspect compared to female seniors. Middle-aged individuals in Singapore score higher in the "damp-heat" aspect compared to the elderly. 4. Correlation Analysis between TCM Constitution Types and Psychological Characteristics of Middle-aged and Elderly People in Singapore Pathological constitution types such as qi deficiency, yang deficiency, yin deficiency, phlegmdampness, damp-heat, blood stasis, qi stagnation, and inherited constitution types show a significant moderate positive correlation with emotional stability. The balanced constitution type does not lean towards pathological types, not leaning towards pathological types, has a negative correlation with the five major psychological characteristics. 5. Predictive Analysis of TCM Constitution Types and Psychological Characteristics of Middle-aged and Elderly People in Singapore Qi deficiency significantly positively predicts conscientiousness and intellectual/imagination characteristics. Blood stasis significantly negatively predicts intellectual/imagination characteristics, while qi stagnation has a significant positive predictive effect on emotional stability. The inherited constitution type significantly positively predicts extroversion and intellectual/imagination characteristics. Based on the findings of this research, relevant recommendations are proposed. Keywords: Middle-aged and elderly individuals, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) constitution types, personality traits.
