Study population: The subjects were people of both sexes aged 20-79 years with long-term Tai chi practice habit or long-term exercise habit or no exercise habit.

Brief summary: The purpose of this study is to investigate the physical and mental health status of middle-aged and elderly people of different ages and practicing Tai chi for different periods of time, so as to provide a strong theoretical basis and practical guidance for delaying age-related aging and preventing and treating the occurrence and development of chronic diseases.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men and women aged 20-79 years.
* People who practice Tai chi for a long time.
* People with long-term exercise habits.
* People who have no habit of exercising.

Exclusion Criteria:

* People currently participating in other interventions (e.g., nutrition, psychological, exercise, health education).
* People with cognitive impairment and movement disorders.
* Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (physician-diagnosed heart disease, such as coronary heart disease, hypertensive heart disease, acute myocarditis, pulmonary heart disease, etc.) in the past 6 months.
* People with other serious chronic diseases, such as asthma, cancer, chronic heart failure, severe depression, or other mental disorders.
