Abstract Background: Infertility may cause physiological and psychological distress. The Health Promotion Administration in Taiwan has listed infertility improvement under the "Reproductive health and prevention section" in the Whole Person Wellness policy.

Methods: This study was based on an exploratory research design. It used artificial intelligence algorithms such as logistic regression and association rules, and constructed the association model between the physique literature of traditional Chinese medicine and common demographic variables.

Results: The participants showed three types of constitutions in traditional Chinese medicine, namely Yin deficiency, Yang deficiency, and phlegm stasis. Infertile women who prefer to eat heavy or sour-tasting foods were 2.8 times more likely to have ovarian factors than those who do not like to eat those foods.

Conclusions: Based on the correction between physique type and the demographic variables of infertile women, care based on traditional Chinese medicine should be pro-vided to improve the body constitutions of infertile women.
