Objective: To assess the clinical application and therapeutic efficacy of the Traditional Chinese Medical (TCM) management model among elderly individuals in a sub-health state, and to evaluate its impact on patients' quality of life (QoL). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, analyzing clinical data from sub-health elderly patients who received care at a designated medical institution between January 2021 and December 2023. A total of 180 patients meeting the predefined inclusion criteria were recruited and stratified into two arms based on the intervention administered. The control group received routine care without specific management protocols, whereas the experimental group underwent a structured TCM management model intervention (It covers herbal therapy, acupunture, Tui Na, medical diets and teas, etc). Outcome measures, including symptomatic relief, health-related quality of life (assessed using the SF-36 scale), and patient satisfaction, were compared between the two groups to determine the intervention's efficacy. Results: There were no significant differences in the basic information between the two groups, indicating comparability (P>0.05). The overall effective rate of treatment in the experimental group (98.89%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (51.11%). After the intervention, the SCL-90 scores of the experimental group patients (1.32±0.25, 1.65±0.45, 1.71±0.56, 1.42±0.25, 1.45±0.31, 1.23±0.34, 1.33±0.28, 1.42±0.18, 1.37±...
