Methods Chinese databases, CNKI, Wanfang and CQVIP, were used to search literatures related to fatigue sub-health, and articles describing the diagnostic criteria for fatigue sub-health were summarized. Results As the diagnostic criteria for fatigue sub-health was established, research to prepare full-scale diagnostic criteria started, and various diagnostic criteria for fatigue sub-health have been proposed by many researchers. Therefore, the world federation of Chinese medicine societies reviewed the diagnostic criteria for fatigue sub-health proposed, established new diagnostic criteria in 2020, and approved it as a society standard.
