Data regarding constipation and diet habits was collected via hierarchical status, segmentation and random cluster sampling.

Door-to-door questionnaires and surveys included daily staple food intakes, frequency of fish, egg, fruits and vegetables consumption. Constipation was defined according to the China Chronic Constipation Diagnosis and Treatment Guideline (2013), with the following constipation judgment indicators: decreased defecation frequency, dry and hard stool, and difficulty in defecation. RESULTS The prevalence of constipation among elderly people in Beijing region was 13%.
