Study on Pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes by the Latent Structural Model

Based on 2501 clinical cases of type 2 diabetes, the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes was studied using the latent structural model, and the symptoms–pathogenesis relationship was established. The results show that the latent structure model, which is nonlinear, may serve as a good tool for investigating the nonlinear and complex traditional Chinese medicine symptoms.
