Objective To explore the clinical effect of healthy education on functional constipation caused by unhealthy lifestyle, and to analyze the disadvantages affecting the curative effect. Methods A total of 167 cases of functional constipation from February 2009 to February 2012 were included. All of the patients were followed up for one year. We collected clinical data of curative effect and influencing factors, determined the clinical value of healthy education, and analyzed the influence of different factors on the curative effect of healthy education. Results The total curative effect after one-year follow-up was 84.4%. The curative effect in elderly patients was significantly higher than that in middle-aged ones (P<0.05). The curative effect in urban patients was remarkably higher than that in rural ones (P<0.05). And the curative effect of patients with college degree wass much higher than that in patients with education background of primary school or below (P<0.05). Conclusion Healthy education has important value on releasing and eliminating functional constipation caused by unhealthy lifestyle. And it needs individual education aimed at patients with different age, education degree, and domicile.
