Global prevalence of functional dyspepsia according to Rome criteria, 1990-2020: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Sci Rep 2024; 14:4172. [PMID: 38378941 PMCID: PMC10879214 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-54716-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/20/2023] [Accepted: 02/15/2024] [Indexed: 02/22/2024] Open
Abstract
Although functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastroduodenal disorder with a high socioeconomic burden, little is known about its global prevalence. Thus, we performed a comprehensive study to estimate long-term trends in the prevalence of FD. We searched PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Google Scholar from 1990 to 2022 for population-based studies that reported the prevalence of FD in adults (≥ 18 years old) according to Rome I, II, III, or IV criteria. The prevalence of FD was extracted from included studies to obtain pooled prevalence with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and 95% prediction intervals. Subgroup analysis was performed according to certain characteristics, including geographic region. A total of 44 studies met the eligibility criteria, including 256,915 participants from 40 countries across six continents. The overall global pooled prevalence of FD was 8.4% (95% CI 7.4-.9.5). The prevalence was the highest in Rome I (11.9%; 95% CI 5.1-25.4) and lowest in Rome IV (6.8%; 95% CI 5.8-7.9). Developing countries showed a higher prevalence than developed countries (9.1% versus 8.0%), and prevalence was higher in women, irrespective of the definition used (9.0% versus 7.0%). The pooled prevalence gradually decreased from 1990 to 2020 (12.4% [8.2-18.3] in 1990-2002 versus 7.3% [6.1-8.7] in 2013-2020). The prevalence of FD differs by country, economic status, geographical region, and sex, and the global prevalence has been gradually declining. Despite the heterogeneity of sample population, our study estimates the current global burden of FD and provides information to heath care policy decisions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is no study evaluating the association between exercise and functional dyspepsia (FD) based on the Rome IV criteria. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of FD and evaluate the association between exercise and FD based on Rome IV criteria among a sample of Chinese armed police recruits. METHODS An on-site questionnaire survey on FD among a sample of Chinese armed police recruits was conducted based on the Rome IV criteria in 2021. Potential confounders included age, body mass index (BMI), race, marriage, education, smoking, and drinking variables were adjusted. RESULTS A total of 2594 recruits were enrolled, including 46 FD participants and 2548 non-FD participants. In the model adjusted for all demographic variables among participants excluding irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional constipation (FC), compared with no exercise participants, 1 h < each exercise time ≤ 2 h (OR = 0.15, 95% CI: 0.03-0.77, P = 0.0230) was inversely associated with FD and compared with no exercise participants, mild exercise (OR = 0.09, 95% CI: 0.01-0.71, P = 0.0220) was significantly inversely associated with FD. CONCLUSIONS The incidence rate of FD in this sample Chinese armed police recruits was 1.77%, and 1 h < each exercise time ≤ 2 h and mild intensity exercise were independently inversely associated with FD. However, the causal relationship needs to be verified by further randomized controlled trials.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Evidence regarding the association between exercise habits and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) remains scarce in a young population. It is also unknown whether the existence of an exercise partner affects this issue. The purpose of this study was to explore the association between exercise habits that include an exercise partner and IBS in a young Japanese population. METHODS This study enrolled 8923 Japanese university students and examined exercise frequency and intensity, and exercise partners using self-administered questionnaires. IBS and functional dyspepsia were defined according to the Rome III criteria. RESULTS The prevalence of IBS in this survey was 6.5%. Moderate frequency exercise was inversely related with IBS [adjusted odds ratio (aOR): 0.65 (95% confidence interval, CI: 0.51-0.83), P for trend = 0.005]. Moderate and high exercise intensities were independently and inversely related with IBS, respectively [aORs were moderate: 0.76 (95% CI: 0.61-0.95) and high: 0.62 (95% CI: 0.48-0.78), P for trend = 0.001]. Exercising with a group or with friends instead of alone was independently inversely related with IBS [aOR with groups: 0.53 (95% CI: 0.40-0.70) and with friends: aOR 0.71 (95% CI: 0.54-0.93)]. After excluding subjects with overlapping IBS and functional dyspepsia, an inverse association between high intensity of exercise or exercise in a group and IBS remained significant. CONCLUSION The frequency and intensity of exercise may be independently inversely related with IBS in a young Japanese population. Also, exercise with others may be important for preventing IBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. According to Russian guidelines, a standard examination using laboratory and instrumental evaluation methods, including colonoscopy, should be performed to establish the diagnosis of IBS. AIM To characterize the Russian population of IBS patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multicenter observational prospective study ROMERUS was conducted at 35 clinical centers in the Russian Federation. The study included male and female patients aged 18 to 50 with a diagnosis of IBS based on the Rome IV criteria, with no signs of structural gastrointestinal disease. The follow-up duration was 6 months and included three patients' visits to the study site. During the study, data were collected on patients' demographic and clinical characteristics, medical history, and drug therapy. The secondary parameters included the assessment of the proportion of patients with a diagnosis of IBS confirmed by a standard examination among all patients meeting the Rome IV criteria, the evaluation of the change over time of the IBS symptoms, quality of life (QoL), and adherence to therapy. Characterization of the population was performed using descriptive statistics methods. The standard examination results were presented as the percentage of patients with IBS confirmed by the standard examination among all patients meeting the Rome IV criteria, with a two-sided 95% confidence interval. RESULTS The study included 1004 patients with a diagnosis of IBS according to the Rome IV criteria, with 790 (78.7%) patients included in the final analysis. The mean age of patients was 34.0±7.5 years; they were predominantly female (70.4%), Caucasian (99.4%), married (55.1%), urban residents (97.5%) with higher education (64.5%) and a permanent position (74.9%). Patients enrolled in the study have low physical activity and lack a healthy diet. The smoking rate was 26.3%. IBS symptoms with predominant constipation (IBS-C) were observed in 28.1% of patients; 28.9% had IBS with predominant diarrhea (IBS-D), 11.9% had mixed-type IBS, and 31.1% had non-classified IBS. The main IBS symptoms were pain (99.7%), abdominal distension (71.1%), and fullness (36.8%). Biliary tract dysfunction (18.9%) and gastritis (17.2%) were the most frequently reported comorbidities. Prior to enrollment, 28% of patients received drug therapy. The most commonly prescribed drug during the study was mebeverine (54.1%). At 6 months of follow-up, there was a significant reduction of abdominal pain, bloating, and distention, and a twofold reduction in the incidence of constipation and diarrhea in the subgroups of patients with IBS-C and IBS-D, respectively. The overall QoL score measured by the IBS-QoL questionnaire increased from 83.0 to 95.2 points (p<0.05) during the study. In the overall assessment of their condition, 69.6% of patients noted no symptoms and 25.3% reported marked improvement, 35% were asymptomatic according to the physician's overall assessment of the patient's condition, and 51.8% showed significant improvement. CONCLUSION IBS patients in the Russian Federation were characterized. The diagnosis of IBS, established following the Rome IV criteria, is confirmed by the results of a standard examination in 96.3% of patients. The Rome IV criteria for the IBS diagnosis make it possible to establish a diagnosis with a probability of 94.7%. For 6 months of follow-up, there was a clinical improvement with a decrease in the severity of symptoms and a QoL improvement.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal functional disorders are characterized by abnormalities in motility with visceral hypersensitivity, representing a global public health problem. We aimed to determine whether eating habits, lifestyle characteristics, and body mass index (BMI) are associated with gastrointestinal health risk. The Gastrointestinal Health (GIH) test of the World Gastroenterology Organization (WGO) and the Roma IV criteria were applied. We obtained information on food consumption habits and aerobic exercise, among other variables. Not exercising regularly, drinking water and eating vegetables less than recommended, having high body weight, and taking symptomatic medication were variables that explained 73% of the probabilities of not having good GIH (R2 = 0.734). According to Rome IV criteria, women had a 50% higher risk than men of having functional bowel disorder (RR 1.6, 95% CI: 1.04, 2.45). Among the men studied, eating few or no vegetables and drinking less than 1 L of water daily was more frequent; however, the women had significantly more intestinal symptoms. In addition, constipation was higher among women than men (p = 0.020). All of the above explains the prognostic value of eating habits and the importance of paying attention to body weight to reduce the risk of gastrointestinal disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence regarding the association between sleep disturbance and functional dyspepsia (FD) remains limited in the young population. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the association between sleep disturbance and FD including subgroups among Japanese young people. METHODS Study subjects were 8923 university students. FD was defined according to the Rome III criteria. Subjects with FD were further categorized as having postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) or epigastric pain syndrome (EPS). Subjects completed a self-reported questionnaire assessing self-reported sleep duration, sleep disturbance, difficulty falling asleep, deep sleep disorder, nocturnal awakening, early awakening, and daytime sleepiness. RESULTS The prevalence of FD was 1.9%. After adjustment, all types of sleep disturbances were independently positively associated with FD (total sleep disturbance: OR 4.11 [95% CI: 2.89-5.78], difficulty falling asleep: OR 3.97 [95% CI: 2.53-6.01], deep sleep disorder: OR 4.85 [95% CI: 3.06-7.40], nocturnal awakening: OR 4.35 [95% CI: 1.90-8.67], early awakening: OR 4.50 [95% CI: 1.97-8.97], and daytime sleepiness: OR 2.83 [95% CI: 1.25-5.56]). While nocturnal awakening and daytime sleepiness were not associated with EPS, the other types of sleep disturbance were independently positively associated with EPS and PDS. No association between self-reported sleep duration and FD was found. CONCLUSIONS Sleep disturbance may be independently positively associated with the prevalence of FD among Japanese young people. Nocturnal awakening and daytime sleepiness were not associated with EPS; the other types of sleep disturbance were independently positively associated with EPS and PDS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional dyspepsia (FD) has a high prevalence worldwide and reduces patients' quality of life. The etiology of FD is likely multifactorial. Although two studies showed an inverse association between exercise habits and FD, evidence regarding the association between exercise habits and FD remains scarce. AIMS This study aimed to investigate the association between exercise habits and FD among the young Japanese population, taking the presence or absence of an exercise partner as an additional variable. METHODS The study subjects consisted of 8923 Japanese university students. The definition of FD was based on the Rome III criteria. Information on exercise frequency, exercise intensity, and exercise partners was obtained from a self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS The prevalence of FD was 1.9% in this cohort. Low, moderate, and high frequency of exercise was independently inversely associated with FD (adjusted odds ratio [OR] was low: OR 0.69 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.47-0.997], moderate: OR 0.53 [95% CI 0.34-0.81] and high: OR 0.53 [95% CI 0.30-0.88], p for trend p = 0.002). Moderate and high intensity of exercise was independently inversely associated with FD (moderate: OR 0.56 [95% CI 0.36-0.84] and high: OR 0.49 [95% CI 0.30-0.76], p for trend p = 0.001). Exercise with groups and with friends was independently inversely associated with FD whereas the association between exercising alone and FD was not significant (groups: OR 0.28 [95% CI 0.14-0.50] and friends: OR 0.44 [95% CI 0.24-0.74]). CONCLUSION Among the young Japanese population, frequency and intensity of exercise may be independently inversely associated with FD. Additionally, exercise with groups and with friends but not by oneself was inversely associated with exercise and FD, respectively.

High prevalence of functional dyspepsia in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: a cross-sectional study. SAO PAULO MED J 2022; 140:199-206. [PMID: 35043829 PMCID: PMC9610253 DOI: 10.1590/1516-3180.2021.0015.r1.14062021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/07/2021] [Accepted: 06/14/2021] [Indexed: 04/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are frequent complaints from individuals with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Dyspepsia is a universal clinical symptom and is among the most common GI complaints observed in the general population, but its prevalence in the population with NAFLD has not been previously investigated. OBJECTIVE To compare the prevalence of functional dyspepsia (FD) between patients with NAFLD and controls without liver disease. DESIGN AND SETTING Cross-sectional study at the Outpatient Liver Clinic, University Hospital, Belo Horizonte, Brazil. METHODS We included 96 NAFLD patients and 105 controls without liver disease. All participants were assessed for GI symptoms in accordance with the Rome III criteria. Evaluation methods included a questionnaire for FD (validated in Brazil), laboratory tests and upper GI endoscopy. RESULTS Mean age and sex were similar between the groups. The NAFLD group presented higher frequency of proton-pump inhibitor usage (31.3% vs 4.8%; P < 0.001) and prevalence of FD (25.0% versus 12.4%; P = 0.021). The symptom frequencies were as follows: postprandial distress, 22.9% versus 11.4% (P = 0.030); postprandial fullness, 18.8% versus 10.5% (P = 0.095); early satiation, 8.3% versus 5.7% (P = 0.466); and epigastric pain or burning, 18.8% versus 5.7% (P = 0.004), in NAFLD patients and controls, respectively. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that female sex (odds ratio, OR 6.97; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.51-32.12; P = 0.013) and NAFLD diagnosis (OR 2.45; 95% CI: 1.14-5.27; P = 0.021) were independently associated with FD occurrence. CONCLUSION FD occurs more frequently in individuals with NAFLD than in controls without hepatic disease.

Association of anxiety-depressive disorders with irritable bowel syndrome among patients attending a rural family practice center: a comparative cross-sectional study. Gen Psychiatr 2022; 34:e100553. [PMID: 34970639 PMCID: PMC8671974 DOI: 10.1136/gpsych-2021-100553] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2021] [Accepted: 11/09/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Comorbidity of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and psychiatric disorders is common, and the prevalence of at least one psychiatric disorder has been reported as high as 80% among patients with IBS. Aims To explore the association of anxiety-depressive disorders with IBS and its different subtypes, and to evaluate the associations of lifestyle habits, dietary habits and sleeping quality with IBS. Methods A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at the AL-Mahsama Family Practice Center, Ismailia, Egypt. It was carried out between October 2019 and October 2020. Participants were categorised into 175 patients with IBS, diagnosed using the Rome IV criteria, and 175 patients without IBS. A semistructured questionnaire was used to collect data on sociodemographic characteristics, lifestyle habits, dietary habits and sleep quality from both groups. The Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale was used to assess anxiety symptoms, whereas the Beck Depression Inventory Second Edition was used to assess depression symptoms. Results There was a high statistically significant difference between both groups with regard to age, education, occupation and socioeconomic status (SES), being a smoker, being physically inactive, having sleep disturbance and having irregular meals; being either obese or overweight was more reported in the IBS group. There was a high statistically significant difference in the rate of anxiety and depression between patients with and without IBS. Mild, moderate and severe anxiety were reported in 37.1%, 42.9% and 20.0% of patients with IBS while most (80.0%) of the patients without IBS reported mild anxiety. Regarding depression, mild, moderate and severe depression were reported in 60.0%, 14.3% and 25.7% of the patients with IBS while most (82.9%) of the non-IBS participants reported mild depression. Conclusions The study shows a significant association between anxiety-depressive disorders and IBS, but no significant associations between anxiety-depressive disorders and IBS subtypes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a disorder that presents with chronic dyspepsia, which is not only very common but also highly affects quality of life of the patients. In Japan, FD became a disease name for national insurance in 2013, and has been gradually recognized, though still not satisfactory. Following the revision policy of Japanese Society of Gastroenterology (JSGE), the first version of FD guideline was revised this time. METHOD Like previously, the guideline was created by the GRADE (grading of recommendations assessment, development and evaluation) system, but this time, the questions were classified to background questions (BQs, 24 already clarified issues), future research questions (FRQs, 9 issues cannot be addressed with insufficient evidence), and 7 clinical questions that are mainly associated with treatment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION These revised guidelines have two major features. The first is the new position of endoscopy in the flow of FD diagnosis. While endoscopy was required to all cases for diagnosis of FD, the revised guidelines specify the necessity of endoscopy only in cases where organic disease is suspected. The second feature is that the drug treatment options have been changed to reflect the latest evidence. The first-line treatment includes gastric acid-secretion inhibitors, acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors (acotiamide, a prokinetic agent), and Japanese herbal medicine (rikkunshito). The second-line treatment includes anxiolytics /antidepressant, prokinetics other than acotiamide (dopamine receptor antagonists, 5-HT4 receptor agonists), and Japanese herbal medicines other than rikkunshito. The patients not responding to these treatment regimens are regarded as refractory FD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 outbreak abruptly restricted gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy services during the first wave of the pandemic. We aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the practice of GI endoscopy in Asian countries. METHODS This was an International Questionnaire-based Internet Survey conducted at multiple facilities by the International Gastrointestinal Consensus Symposium. A total of 166 respondents in Japan, China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore participated in this study. RESULTS The volume of endoscopic screening or follow-up endoscopies and therapeutic endoscopies were markedly reduced during the first wave of the pandemic, which was mainly attributed to the decreased number of outpatients, cancellations by patients, and adherence to the guidelines of academic societies. The most common indications for GI endoscopy during the first wave were GI bleeding, cholangitis or obstructive jaundice, and a highly suspicious case of neoplasia. The most common GI symptoms of COVID-19 patients during the infected period included diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. The pandemic exacerbated some GI diseases, such as functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome. There were cases with delayed diagnosis of cancers due to postponed endoscopic procedures, and the prescription of proton pump inhibitors/potassium-competitive acid blockers, steroids, immunosuppressive agents, and biologics was delayed or canceled. The personal protective equipment used during endoscopic procedures for high-risk patients were disposable gloves, disposable gowns, N95 or equivalent masks, and face shields. However, the devices on the patient side during endoscopic procedures included modified surgical masks, mouthpieces with filters, and disposable vinyl boxes or aerosol boxes covering the head. Furthermore, the time for education, basic research, clinical research, and daily clinical practice decreased during the first wave. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic profoundly affected the method of performing GI endoscopy and medical treatment for patients with GI diseases in Asian countries.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Postprandial distress syndrome (PDS) is associated with food indigestion. Efficacy of drugs used against PDS is limited whereas dietary modifications were shown to have important beneficial effects. Traditional Persian Medicine (TPM) sages suggested a dietary regimen known as Persian metabolic diet (PMD) for the management of PDS patients. In this study, the efficacy of PMD in alleviating the symptoms of PDS was explored. METHODS This single-center, parallel-group, randomized clinical trial included 56 patients whom were randomly allocated to PMD group (29 participants) and Optional diet (OD) group (27 participants). They were instructed to follow the protocol for two weeks. Using a standard validated questionnaire, all outcomes were evaluated at baseline, end of the intervention period, and end of follow-up time. RESULTS At the end of the intervention period, comparing the changes of severity scores between the groups showed a statistically significant difference in week 2 (p-value<0.001) and week 8 (p-value<0.001) follow-up comparing to the baseline. Similarly, at the end of the follow-up period, epigastric fullness, epigastric discomfort, and bloating were significantly improved in the PMD group (p<0.001). CONCLUSIONS This diet prepared based on Persian medicine seems to be effective in relieving the symptoms of patients with PDS.

Abstract
Background/Aims Chronic constipation and lifestyle factors can affect sleep quality. We evaluated the relationship between chronic constipation and sleep in the Japanese population. Methods This cross-sectional internet-based survey included 3000 subjects with constipation, classified according to sleep status (good/poor). Primary endpoints were Bristol stool form scale (BSFS) score and correlations between sleep disorder criteria of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and sleep status (good/poor sleep). Secondary endpoints included correlations between quality of life (QOL) and mood, medical, lifestyle, and sleep factors. Results The proportion of participants with BSFS category 4 (normal stool) was significantly higher in the good sleep group (P < 0.001). Sleep disturbance (P < 0.05), sleep quality, and duration, use of hypnotic medication, and daytime dysfunction of PSQI (all P < 0.001) significantly correlated with poor sleep. In the poor sleep group, QOL was significantly worse and anxiety and depression levels were significantly higher (all P < 0.001) compared with the good sleep group. Anemia and smoking (both P < 0.05), recent body weight increases, and poor eating habits (all P < 0.001) were significantly higher in the poor sleep group. Male sex, onset associated with change in frequency of stools, sensation of incomplete evacuation for at least 25% of defecations, and manual maneuvers to facilitate at least 25% of defecations correlated with poor sleep. Conclusions Subjects with constipation and poor sleep experienced severe symptoms and had poor QOL. These data support the need for a multifocal treatment approach, including lifestyle advice and pharmacotherapy.

Abstract
Increased prevalence of sleep disorders has been found in patients with functional dyspepsia; however, direction of causality remains unclear. Our aim was to compare the risk of incident functional dyspepsia between patients with and without sleep disturbance from a large population-based sample. Utilizing a nation-wide health insurance administrative dataset, we assembled an 11-year historic cohort study to compare subsequent incidence of diagnosed functional dyspepsia between adult patients with any diagnosis of sleep disturbance and age- and gender-matched controls. Hazard ratios adjusted for other relevant comorbidities and medications were calculated using Cox regression models. 45,310 patients with sleep disorder and 90,620 controls were compared. Patients with sleep apnea had a 3.3-fold (95% confidence interval: 2.82 ~ 3.89) increased hazard of functional dyspepsia compared with controls. This increased risk persisted regardless of previously diagnosed depression coexisted. Sleep disturbance was associated with an increased risk of subsequent functional dyspepsia. Potential mechanisms are discussed.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The association of fruit and vegetables with functional dyspepsia (FD) has been less studied, especially in Middle Eastern populations. This study investigated the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption with FD and its related symptoms among a large group of Iranian adults. METHODS AND MATERIALS This cross-sectional research was conducted on 3362 middle-age participants. Usual dietary intakes, including fruit and vegetable intake, during the last year were assessed using a validated 106-item dish-based food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). A modified Persian version of the Rome III questionnaire was used for assessment of FD. RESULTS The prevalence of FD among study participants was 14.5%. After adjustment for confounders, the highest energy-adjusted tertile of fruit consumption was related to 32% lower risk of FD, compared to the lowest intake (OR = 0.68, 95% CI:0.51-0.90). Fruit consumption was also significantly related to lower risk of early satiation (OR = 0.67, 95% CI:0.54-0.85) and post-prandial fullness (OR = 0.75, 95% CI:0.61-0.92). Vegetable consumption was not related to the risk of FD in all models. Men who were in the third tertile of fruit and the third tertile vegetable consumption had lower risk of FD compared to the first tertile; but, in women, just fruit consumption was related to the reduced risk of FD, after adjustment for all confounders. CONCLUSION We found an inverse association between fruit intake and dyspepsia symptoms. In addition, high consumption of fruit was related to lower odds of early satiation and post-prandial fullness. Higher intake of vegetables was associated with lower risk of FD, only in men.

[PMID: 34134029 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2021.05.072] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2020] [Revised: 02/26/2021] [Accepted: 05/31/2021] [Indexed: 10/21/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychosocial factors are seemed as important causes of functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). However, the role of stress in FGIDs in high school students under the pressure of college entrance examination is largely unknown. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between the stress and FGIDs in high school graduates. METHODS A cross-sectional survey was conducted in randomly selected high school fresh graduates. Questionnaires concerned health condition, living habits, gastrointestinal symptoms and life stress were given out and be finished voluntarily. Participants were diagnosed as FGIDs based on the Rome IV criteria. RESULTS Stress level of FGIDs population was higher than control group and stress was independent predicted factor of high risk of FGIDs. The stressor "changes" was significantly correlated with functional gastroduodenal disorders (OR1.118(1.011-1.238)). Stressor "frustration" was significantly correlated with functional bowel disorders (OR1.038(1.006-1.071)). "Physiological reaction" was correlated with functional bowel disease and functional gastroduodenal disorders + functional bowel disorders (OR1.027(1.007-1.046) and OR1.055(1.000-1.113)). Students with more than one gastrointestinal symptom exhibited higher stress level. Moreover, there was mediation effect of stress in the association between gender, sleep quality, allergies and FGIDs. LIMITATIONS This was a cross-section study and the sample included in the study were only from Wuhan, China. CONCLUSIONS Our findings illustrated the predicted and mediated role of stress in FGIDs in high school fresh graduates. Different stressors and reactions to stressors contributed to different FGIDs. Intervening measures aimed at stress coping strategies were warranted for students in daily school life.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIM Functional gastrointestinal disorders are a group of stress-sensitive gut-brain disorders. The COVID-19 outbreak has caused immense stress and anxiety among the general public. Strict measures to counter COVID-19 emergency, including physical distancing, have also taken a toll on physical and mental health. We investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms of functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). METHODS An online survey was conducted in Japan for a group of randomly assigned panelists from May 26 to 27, 2020. Each respondent answered a questionnaire on stress, physical distancing, and worries about COVID-19. Gastrointestinal symptoms were assessed to diagnose FD and IBS (Rome III), and psychological symptoms were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. RESULTS A total of 5157 subjects were finally enrolled, with FD in 8.5%, IBS in 16.6%, and FD-IBS overlap in 4.0%. For both gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms, respondents with FD-IBS overlap showed the worst scores, followed by IBS-alone, then FD-alone respondents. During the COVID-19 pandemic, 11.9% of respondents reported deterioration and 2.8% reported improvement of gastrointestinal symptoms. FD-IBS overlap, psychological disease comorbidity, and stress at work/school were significantly associated with symptom deterioration. Younger age, commuting by public transport, and work/study from home were associated with symptom improvement. CONCLUSIONS The COVID-19 pandemic negatively affected FD/IBS subjects, with respondents showing FD-IBS overlap syndrome as the most important independent factor associated with deterioration in gastrointestinal symptoms. Physicians need to take extra care of FD/IBS patients in the post-COVID period.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiological data on the prevalence of uninvestigated dyspepsia (UD) and its impact on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in Indonesian population are still lacking. There is no study investigating the association between exercise and the HRQOL in UD patients. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of UD and its association with physical exercise, and its impact on HRQOL in Indonesian patients with UD. METHODS This was a population-based, cross-sectional study, conducted using an internet-based questionnaire which was randomly distributed throughout Indonesia using the social media. The questionnaire contained socio-demographic details, exercise levels, Rome III criteria for dyspepsia, and SF-NDI (Short Form-Nepean Dyspepsia Index). The frequency, duration, the intensity of exercise, and the classification of exercise according to ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) were included in the assessment. The screening for UD was conducted using the Rome III criteria and the SF-NDI score was calculated to assess the HRQOL in patients with UD. RESULTS A total of 2725 valid responses were collected. The overall prevalence of UD in the study was 49.75%. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that gender (female) and lack of exercise were independently associated with UD (OR 2.07, 95% CI 1.74-2.47, p < 0.001 and OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.42-2.07, p < 0.001). The median SF-NDI score among 1295 UD subjects in non-exercising and exercising groups was 21.00 and 18.00 (p < 0.001), respectively. CONCLUSION This study demonstrated the prevalence of UD and the association between exercise and HRQOL among UD patients in Indonesia.

Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), with its key features of abdominal pain and disturbed bowel habit, is thought by both patients and clinicians to be strongly influenced by diet. However, the complexities of diet have made identifying specific food intolerances difficult. Eating disorders can masquerade as IBS and may need specialist treatment. While typical food allergy is readily distinguished from IBS, the mechanisms of gut-specific adverse reactions to food are only just being defined. These may include gut-specific mast cell activation as well as non-specific activation by stressors and certain foods. Visceral hypersensitivity, in some cases mediated by mast cell activation, plays a key part in making otherwise innocuous gut stimuli painful. Rapidly fermented poorly absorbed carbohydrates produce gaseous distension as well as short-chain fatty acids and lowering of colonic pH which may cause symptoms in IBS patients. Limiting intake of these in low FODMAP and related diets has proven popular and apparently successful in many patients. Existing diet, colonic microbiota and their metabolic products may be helpful in predicting who will respond. Wheat intolerance may reflect the fact that wheat is often a major source of dietary FODMAPs. It may also be either a forme fruste of coeliac disease or non-specific immune activation. Wheat exclusion can be successful in some of these patients. More research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms of food intolerances and how to best ameliorate them in a personalised medicine approach to diet in IBS.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The relationship between daily meal and snack frequency with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) was less investigated in the literature. We aimed to evaluate this association with IBS symptoms. DESIGN A cross-sectional study. SETTING This investigation was performed in Isfahan, a large province in the centre of Iran. Individuals were asked to complete a self-administered questionnaire to quantify the numbers of daily main meals (one, two or three), snacks (never, 1-2, 3-5 or >5) and the total of them (<3, 3-5, 6-7 or ≥8). IBS and its subtypes were diagnosed according to Rome Ш criteria. PARTICIPANTS General adults (n 4669, 2063 men and 2606 women). RESULTS The prevalence of IBS was 18·6 % in males and 24·1 % in females. Individuals consuming three main meals had 30 % decreased risk of IBS (OR 0·70, 95 % CI 0·52, 0·94) compared with those with one main meal in the crude model. After adjustments for all potential confounders this relation disappeared (OR 0·67, 95 % CI 0·43, 1·03). Gender-specified analysis revealed that women consuming three main meals per day had 32 % decreased likelihood of having IBS symptoms compared with one daily main meal takers (OR 0·68, 95 % CI 0·47, 0·99). This relation remained significant after adjustment for potential confounders (OR 0·56, 95 % CI 0·36, 0·89). A decreased likelihood of IBS in the highest category of main meal consumption compared with the lowest one was found in obese or overweight subjects (OR 0·54, 95 % CI 0·32, 0·91), after adjustment for all confounders. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggested that there was no significant relation between main meal or snack frequency and IBS in Iranian adults, but a small inverse association was found among females and overweight/obese individuals in subgroup analysis. Further prospective studies are needed confirming these associations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prevalence of uninvestigated dyspepsia varies across cross-sectional surveys. This may be due to differences in definitions used or study methodology, rather than global variability. AIM To determine the global prevalence of uninvestigated dyspepsia according to Rome criteria. METHODS MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched to identify population-based studies reporting prevalence of uninvestigated dyspepsia in adults (≥18 years old) according to Rome I, II, III or IV criteria. Prevalence of uninvestigated dyspepsia was extracted, according to criteria used to define it. Pooled prevalence, according to study location and certain other characteristics, odds ratios (OR), and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. RESULTS Of 2133 citations evaluated, 67 studies fulfilled eligibility criteria, representing 98 separate populations, comprising 338 383 subjects. Pooled prevalence ranged from 17.6% (95% CI 9.8%-27.1%) in studies defining uninvestigated dyspepsia according to Rome I criteria, to 6.9% (95% CI 5.7%-8.2%) in those using Rome IV criteria. Postprandial distress syndrome was the commonest subtype, occurring in 46.2% of participants using Rome III criteria, and 62.8% with Rome IV. Prevalence of uninvestigated dyspepsia was up to 1.5-fold higher in women, irrespective of the definition used. There was significant heterogeneity between studies in all our analyses, which persisted even when the same criteria were applied and similar methodology was used. CONCLUSIONS Even when uniform symptom-based criteria are used to define the presence of uninvestigated dyspepsia, prevalence varies between countries. This suggests that there are environmental, cultural, ethnic, dietary or genetic influences determining symptoms.

Abstract
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common disorders of gut-brain interaction worldwide, defined according to patterns of gastrointestinal symptoms as described by the Rome diagnostic criteria. However, these criteria, developed with reference to research conducted largely in Western populations, might be limited in their applicability to other countries and cultures. Epidemiological data show a wide variation in the prevalence of IBS globally and more rigorous studies are needed to accurately determine any differences that might exist between countries as well as the potential explanations. The effects of IBS on the individual, in terms of their quality of life, and on health-care delivery and society, in terms of economic costs, are considerable. Although the magnitude of these effects seems to be comparable between nations, their precise nature can vary based on the existence of societal and cultural differences. The pathophysiology of IBS is complex and incompletely understood; genetics, diet and the gut microbiome are all recognized risk factors, but the part they play might be influenced by geography and culture, and hence their relative importance might vary between countries. This Review aims to provide an overview of the burden of IBS in a global context, to discuss future implications for the care of people with IBS worldwide, and to identify key areas for further research.

[PMID: 32702295 DOI: 10.1016/s2468-1253(20)30217-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 327] [Impact Index Per Article: 81.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/03/2020] [Revised: 06/04/2020] [Accepted: 06/04/2020] [Indexed: 01/30/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common functional bowel disorders, but community prevalence appears to vary widely between different countries. This variation might be due to the fact that previous cross-sectional surveys have neither applied uniform diagnostic criteria nor used identical methodology, rather than being due to true global variability. We aimed to determine the global prevalence of IBS. METHODS We did a systematic review and meta-analysis of data from all population-based studies using relatively uniform methodology and using only the most recent iterations of the Rome criteria (Rome III and IV). We searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Embase Classic (from Jan 1, 2006, to April 30, 2020) to identify cross-sectional surveys reporting the prevalence of IBS in adults (≥90% of participants aged ≥18 years) according to the Rome III or Rome IV criteria. We also hand-searched a selection of conference proceedings for relevant abstracts published between 2006 and 2019. We extracted prevalence data for all studies, according to the criteria used to define the presence of IBS. We did a meta-analysis to estimate pooled prevalence rates, according to study location and certain other characteristics (eg, sex and IBS subtype). FINDINGS We identified 4143 citations, of which 184 studies appeared relevant. 57 of these studies were eligible, and represented 92 separate adult populations, comprising 423 362 participants. The pooled prevalence of IBS in 53 studies that used the Rome III criteria, from 38 countries and comprising 395 385 participants, was 9·2% (95% CI 7·6-10·8; I2=99·7%). By contrast, pooled IBS prevalence among six studies that used the Rome IV criteria, from 34 countries and comprising 82 476 individuals, was 3·8% (95% CI 3·1-4·5; I2=96·6%). IBS with mixed bowel habit (IBS-M) was the most common subtype with the Rome III criteria, reported by 33·8% (95% CI 27·8-40·0; I2=98·1%) of people fulfilling criteria for IBS (ie, 3·7% [2·6-4·9] of all included participants had IBS-M), but IBS with diarrhoea (IBS-D) was the most common subtype with the Rome IV criteria (reported by 31·5% [95% CI 23·2-40·5; I2=98·1% 61·6%] of people with IBS, corresponding to 1·4% [0·9-1·9] of all included participants having IBS-D). The prevalence of IBS was higher in women than in men (12·0% [95% CI 9·3-15·0] vs 8·6% [6·3-11·2]; odds ratio 1·46 [95% CI 1·33-1·59]). Prevalence varied substantially between individual countries, and this variability persisted even when the same diagnostic criteria were applied and identical methodology was used in studies. INTERPRETATION Even when uniform symptom-based criteria are applied, based on identical methodology, to define the presence of IBS, prevalence varies substantially between countries. Prevalence was substantially lower with the Rome IV criteria, suggesting that these more restrictive criteria might be less suitable than Rome III for population-based epidemiological surveys. FUNDING None.

Neurogastroenterol Motil 2020; 32:e13793. [PMID: 31912611 DOI: 10.1111/nmo.13793] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/25/2019] [Revised: 11/30/2019] [Accepted: 12/17/2019] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Lifestyle modifications play an important role in the management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), but there is limited information on any associations of combined lifestyle-related factors with IBS in Middle Eastern populations. We, therefore, assessed the associations of a "lifestyle score," in analogy to lifestyle scores applied in studies of other disorders, with IBS in adults. METHODS In a cross-sectional study on 3363 Iranian adults, a healthy lifestyle score (HLS) was constructed using information about dietary habits, dietary intake, physical activity, smoking status, and psychological distress, which was collected using validated questionnaires. A modified version of the Rome III questionnaire (in Persian) was used to diagnose IBS and its subtypes. KEY RESULTS Individuals with the highest HLS had a 65% lower odds of having IBS compared with those in the lowest category (OR: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.26-0.48). Participants with healthy dietary habits, including regular meal pattern, slow/moderate eating rate, moderate intra-meal fluid consumption, moderate/long meal-to-sleep interval, and low/moderate consumption of fatty foods, had significantly lower odds of having IBS compared with those with unhealthy dietary habits (OR: 0.81; 95% CI: 0.69-0.96). Moreover, individuals with lower levels of psychological distress, compared with those with higher levels of distress, had significantly lower odds of IBS (OR: 0.49; 95% CI: 0.40-0.60). CONCLUSIONS AND INFERENCES Our data suggest that having an overall "healthy lifestyle" is related to substantially reduced odds of IBS, suggesting that adhering to a healthy lifestyle pattern, including dietary habits, diet quality, physical activity, smoking, and psychological distress, can be considered as a key management strategy for IBS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Exercise improves symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, but few data are available about functional dyspepsia. We compared the prevalence and frequency of different types of exercise between individuals with functional dyspepsia and general population controls. METHODS A mailed survey was returned by 3160 people randomly obtained from the Australian electoral register. The survey included questions to identify the Rome III diagnosis for functional dyspepsia. Exercise was classified by the presence (yes or no) and the frequency (number of times) spent walking, and engaging in moderate and vigorous exercise, over the last 2 weeks based on the National Health Survey. Controls did not meet criteria for functional dyspepsia. Potential confounders included the presence of irritable bowel syndrome, smoking, body mass index, age and gender. RESULTS A total of 14.8% (95% confidence interval (CI) 13.6%, 16.1%) subjects had functional dyspepsia. They reported significantly less walking (57% versus 63%, P = 0.04) and lower frequency of exercising, in terms of walking (P = 0.008) and engaging in moderate (P = 0.03) and vigorous activity (P = 0.02), compared with controls. The association remained significant for moderate exercise, independent of age, gender, body mass index and smoking, and excluding overlap with irritable bowel syndrome (odds ratio (OR) = 0.94 (95% CI 0.88, 0.99), P = 0.02). Postprandial distress syndrome was associated with less-vigorous exercise adjusting for confounders (OR = 0.65 (95% CI 0.42, 1.0), P = 0.05), but not epigastric pain syndrome. CONCLUSION Functional dyspepsia is associated with lower exercise levels, but the causality still needs to be determined.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS In various gastrointestinal system diseases, emotional dysregulation has been shown to reduce pain tolerance and increase the severity of the disease. Increased emotional dysregulation during the adolescence period causes gastrointestinal symptoms to be more frequent and severe. In this study, Child Depression Inventory (CDI) scores were investigated in patients admitted to our clinic with functional gastrointestinal disorders. PATIENTS AND METHODS According to Rome IV criteria, 200 patients with functional abdominal pain and dyspepsia aged 12-17 years were included in this study. 100 patients without a chronic disease were taken as control group. Patients completed the self-report questionnaires about symptoms, school performance, nutrition and sports habits. We used Child Depression Inventory (CDI) to assess the patients' depression. RESULTS The mean age of study group was 15.29 ± 1.48 years (12-17 years), median 16 years; 80% (160/200) were girls. The mean age of control group was 14.96 ± 1.66 years (12-17 years), median 15 years; 70% (70/100) were girls. There is no difference between the two groups for age and gender. Median depression score was 12.5 (range, 0-53) in the study group and 10.0 (range, 0-41) in the control group and a significant difference was found between the two groups (p = 0.014). School performance was revealed as 'very good' in 112 (56%) children in the study group and in 24 (24%) children in the control group and a significant difference was found between the two groups (p < 0.001). A negative correlation was found between school performance and depressive symptoms. CONCLUSION It is not clear that emotional dysregulation induces FGIDs or FGIDs cause emotional dysregulation. But it is known that these diseases are common in the adolescent age group. Incorporating social and physical activities into the educational processes of adolescents will have favorable effects on their academic performance as well as emotional regulation.

Abstract
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common functional gastrointestinal disease which bears a significant burden on society and individuals. Despite the high prevalence of FD, its pathophysiology remains poorly understood and the treatment options are limited and unsatisfactory. In the absence of effective pharmacological treatments for FD, non-pharmacological approaches, including: reassurance, lifestyle modification, psychotherapy, dietary interventions, medical food, acupuncture, and electrical stimulation and modulation are sought after by many physicians and FD patients. In this article, we review clinical studies which investigate nonpharmacological therapies for FD. We will also discuss potential mechanisms involved in the therapeutic effects of these nonpharmacological approaches. Though the evidences to support the routine use of the non-pharmacological management is still lacking, the non-invasive nature and potentially minimal side-effects of these therapies may be attractive in the FD management. In order to confirm the clinical effectiveness of these non-pharmacological approaches, more well-conducted, methodologically rigorous, and large-scaled clinical trials are required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In Japan, the prevalence of constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-C) and functional constipation (FC) diagnosed by the Rome III criteria is unclear, as are the demographic profile, quality of life (QOL), and habits of persons with IBS-C or FC. METHODS We performed an internet survey of constipation. After extracting 3000 persons fitting the composition of the general Japanese population, we investigated demographic factors, lifestyle, defecation, and laxatives. IBS-C and FC were diagnosed by Rome III criteria. Respondents also completed the Japanese IBS severity index (IBS-SI-J), Japanese IBS QOL scale (IBS-QOL-J), SF-8, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Japanese Health Practice Index (JHPI). RESULTS There were 262 respondents with FC (8.73%) [73 men and 189 women; mean age: 49.8 ± 13.1 years; mean body mass index (BMI): 21.0 ± 3.3 g/m2] and 149 respondents with IBS-C (4.97%) (76 men and 73 women; mean age; 41.6 ± 13.7 years; mean BMI: 20.8 ± 3.0 kg/m2). Total IBS-QOL-J score were significantly lower in the IBS-C group than the FC group. With regard to SF-8, score of mental component summary (MCS) was significantly lower in the IBS-C group. The total IBS-SI-J score and item scores, except for satisfactory defecation, were significantly higher in the IBS-C group than the FC group. HADS showed a significant increase of anxiety and depression in both the groups, and the JHPI revealed insufficient sleep. CONCLUSIONS In Japan, among the population of under 70 years old, the prevalence of IBS-C and FC (Rome III criteria) was 4.97% and 8.76%, respectively. IBS-C caused more severe symptoms than FC, resulting in impairment of QOL.

Abstract
PURPOSE This prospective, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study aimed to determine the efficacy and safety of a multistrain (Bacillus coagulans [SNZ 1969], Bacillus clausii [SNZ 1971], and Bacillus subtilis [SNZ 1972]) probiotic blend (SNZ TriBac) in managing symptoms of gastrointestinal (GI) discomfort in the absence of specific pathologies. METHODS Sixty adults with symptoms of GI discomfort were enrolled (mean age, 34.89 ± 9.95 years) and randomized to receive either SNZ TriBac or placebo. Changes from baseline in Severity of Dyspepsia Assessment (SODA), Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), and Quality of Life (QoL) scales over the course of product use were determined at baseline and on days 30 and 37 as study outcomes. RESULTS On day 30, significant improvement with SNZ TriBac was noted in SODA burping/belching (P = 0.025), bloating (P = 0.048), sour taste (P = 0.025), and total (P = 0.007) scores as well as pain (P = 0.003), non-pain (P = 0.04), and satisfaction (P = 0.03) subscores. Significant improvement with SNZ TriBac was also observed in SODA burping/belching (P = 0.011), sour taste (P = 0.011), and total SODA scores (P < 0.001), and in SODA pain (P = 0.005), non-pain (P = 0.06), and satisfaction (P = 0.004) subscores on day 37. No adverse events were reported. CONCLUSION Significant improvement in final SODA scores and subscores with SNZ TriBac versus placebo indicates improvement in several symptoms of gastrointestinal discomfort. This multistrain probiotic blend was well tolerated and could be an effective option for treatment of GI discomfort. TRIAL REGISTRATION Clinical Trials Registry of India (CTRI/2018/05/014071).

Abstract
Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common, costly and complex disease, currently defined by symptoms, directed by the Rome consensus on functional bowel disorders, which has evolved over the past two decades. Symptoms include abdominal pain, are often meal related and there are two major subtypes, postprandial distress syndrome and epigastric pain syndrome, not attributed to pathology. Increasingly it is recognised that tangible pathologies occur in FD, for example Helicobacter pylori and other pathophysiological changes, most notably duodenal pathology, namely duodenal eosinophilia, permeability alterations, structural neuronal changes and microbial duodenal dysbiosis. This has led to the idea that FD is a true disease entity and triggers of this condition based on epidemiology studies point towards allergy, immune disorders and infection. Anxiety and depression may precede or follow FD, (brain-gut/gut-brain disorders). Currently most therapies for FD are inadequate but underlying pathology may lead to targeted treatment success as an attainable goal.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the gut-brain axis interaction disorders. It has global distribution with varying prevalence and particular financial and psychological consequences. IBS has been associated with stress and anxiety, conditions that are usually prevalent in the army. There are scarce data investigating the impact of IBS on noncombat active duty military without reports of Greek military or stress in the occupational environment. MATERIALS AND METHODS The main exclusion criteria in our noncombat military multicenter prospective survey were gastrointestinal pathologies, malignancies, hematochezia, recent infections and antibiotics prescription, and pregnancy. Questionnaires included a synthesis of baseline information, lifestyle, and diet, psychological and stress-investigating scales and the IBS diagnosis checklist. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Rome IV criteria were utilized. RESULTS Among 1605 participants included finally, the prevalence of IBS was 8% and 131 cases were identified. Women were more vulnerable to IBS, although male sex was prevalent at a ratio of 3.5 : 1 (male:female) in the entire sample. The mean age of all participants was 23.85 years; most of the IBS patients were older than thirty. Abnormal anxiety scores and high levels of occupational stress were related to an IBS diagnosis. DISCUSSION This prospective multicenter survey showed, for the first time, the potential impact of occupational stress on IBS in active duty noncombat Greek Military personnel. The diagnosis of IBS by questionnaire is a quick, affordable way that can upgrade, by its management, the quality of life and relieve from the military burden. Our results are comparable with previous studies, although large-scale epidemiological studies are required for the confirmation of a possible causative relationship.

Abstract
Background Assessing the relation between dietary habits and functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) is less investigated among military personnel. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the association of certain eating patterns and FGIDs in Iranian army men. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was performed on 600 army personnel working in Kerman ground forces military station number 05, Iran. Participants were asked to define their weekly breakfast consumption, lunch intake time, and chewing efficiency. FGIDs were categorized as four groups including functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional constipation (FC) and functional diarrhea (FDi) diagnosed by Rome Ш criteria. Relation between variables was assessed through crude and multiple stepwise adjusted models. Results The prevalence of FD, IBS, FC, and FDi in our study was 20%, 32.3%, 3%, and 53.2%, respectively. After adjustment of all potential confounding variables, more weekly breakfast consumption was associated with decreased FDi prevalence (odds ratio [OR]: 0.57, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.38-0.84, P = 0.005). Slowly lunch consumption declined prevalence of IBS (OR: 0.33, 95% CI = 0.13-0.84, P = 0.02). Individuals chewing their meals well had a lower percentage of IBS, FC, and FDi (OR: 0.53, 95% CI = 0.33-0.83, P = 0.006; OR: 0.24, 95% CI = 0.06-0.89, P = 0.03; and OR: 0.52, 95% CI = 0.34-0.79, P = 0.003, respectively). Conclusions This study suggested that increasing breakfast intake, slowly lunch consumption, and better food chewing could be effective decreasing FGIDs' prevalence and increasing army crews' quality of lives and work efficiency. Further studies required to confirm this relationship and define accurate pathophysiological mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS The objective of this study was to clarify the effectiveness of treatment selection for biliary-type sphincter of Oddi dysfunction by severe pain frequency and the risk factors for recurrence including the history of functional gastrointestinal disorder. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty-six sphincter of Oddi dysfunction patients who were confirmed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography enrolled in this study. Endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed for type I and manometry-confirmed type II sphincter of Oddi dysfunction patients with severe pain (⩾2 times/year; endoscopic sphincterotomy group). Others were treated medically (non-endoscopic sphincterotomy group). RESULTS The short-term effectiveness rate of endoscopic sphincterotomy was 91%. The final remission rates of the endoscopic sphincterotomy and non-endoscopic sphincterotomy groups were 86% and 100%, respectively. Symptoms relapsed after endoscopic sphincterotomy in 32% of patients. Patients in the endoscopic sphincterotomy and non-endoscopic sphincterotomy groups had or developed functional dyspepsia in 41% and 14%, irritable bowel syndrome in 5% and 14%, and gastroesophageal reflux disorder in 14% and 0%, respectively. History or new onset of functional dyspepsia was related to recurrence on multivariate analysis. The frequency of occurrence of post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography pancreatitis and post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography cholangitis was high in both groups. Two new occurrences of bile duct stone cases were observed in each group. CONCLUSION According to the treatment criteria, endoscopic and medical treatment for biliary-type sphincter of Oddi dysfunction has high effectiveness, but recurrences are common. Recurrences may be related to new onset or a history of functional dyspepsia.

Chuah KH, Mahadeva S. Cultural Factors Influencing Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders in the East. J Neurogastroenterol Motil 2018; 24:536-543. [PMID: 30153722 PMCID: PMC6175561 DOI: 10.5056/jnm18064] [Citation(s) in RCA: 33] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/06/2018] [Revised: 07/16/2018] [Accepted: 07/21/2018] [Indexed: 01/06/2023] Open
Abstract
Culture forms an integral aspect of environmental factors which influences disease presentation and clinical outcomes in functionalgastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). In this review, the role of culture in FGIDs in the East is briefly explored with regards to symptompresentation and diagnostic issues, lifestyle and cultural habits, epidemiology, and healthcare seeking behavior. In both functionaldyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome, symptom presentation and disease sub-typing in Asians are known to differ from their Western counterparts, possibly relating to cultural dietary practices and from cultural perception of symptoms. Dietary patterns, together with defecating practices are explored as factors contributing to a lower prevalence of constipation in the East. An urban-rural difference in the prevalence of FGIDs in Asia is attributed to a change in dietary patterns in rapidly developing urban communities, together with an increased level of psychological morbidity. Lastly, cultural attitudes towards traditional/local remedies, variation in healthcare systems, anxiety regarding organic disease, and religious practices have been shown to influence healthcare seeking behavior among FGID patients in the East.

Factorial Validity and Invariance of the 7-Item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) Among Populations With and Without Self-Reported Psychiatric Diagnostic Status. Front Psychol 2018; 9:1741. [PMID: 30283386 PMCID: PMC6157449 DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2018.01741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 36] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2017] [Accepted: 08/28/2018] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
The 7-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale (GAD-7) is commonly used to monitor anxiety symptoms. However, its factor structure has been inconsistent among competing models: unidimensional, two-dimensional, or higher order models. Additionally, it is unknown whether the scale has measurement invariance between populations with and without self-reported psychiatric diagnostic status. Participants were Japanese adults with self-reported anxiety disorder (AD; n = 479), self-reported AD and major depressive disorder (MDD; n = 314), or without self-reported psychiatric diagnostic status (self-reported non-MDD/AD; n = 654), who completed this questionnaire on the Internet. Confirmatory factor analyses showed the higher order model had similar fit indices to the unidimensional and two-dimensional factor models. For the higher order model of GAD-7, metric invariance was supported between the self-reported non-MDD/AD and self-reported AD status groups, and scalar invariance was supported between the self-reported AD status and self-reported AD with MDD status groups. Moreover, convergent and discriminant validity were consistent with previous findings in Western cultures. These results suggest that factor loadings are equivalent and the construct has the same meaning between the self-reported non-MDD/AD and self-reported AD status groups, and the total or sub-scale scores were comparable between self-reported AD status and self-reported AD with MDD status groups. The major limitation of this study is that the participants' diagnoses were self-reported, not confirmed by clinical structured interview. Further studies that incorporate clinical structured interviews are needed.

Association Between Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders: Results From the French NutriNet-Santé Cohort. Am J Gastroenterol 2018; 113:1217-1228. [PMID: 29904158 DOI: 10.1038/s41395-018-0137-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 90] [Impact Index Per Article: 15.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/16/2018] [Accepted: 04/30/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Ultra-processed foods (UPF) consumption has increased over the last decades and is raising concerns about potential adverse health effects. Our objective was to assess the association between UPF consumption and four functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs): irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional constipation (FC), functional diarrhea (FDh), and functional dyspepsia (FDy), in a large sample of French adults. METHODS We analyzed dietary data of 33,343 participants from the web-based NutriNet-Santé cohort, who completed at least three 24 h food records, prior to a Rome III self-administered questionnaire. Proportion (in weight) of UPF in the diet (UPFp) was computed for each subject. The association between UPFp quartiles and FGIDs was estimated by multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS Participants included in the analysis were mainly women (76.4%), and the mean age was 50.4 (SD = 14.0) years. UPF accounted for 16.0% of food consumed in weight, corresponding to 33.0% of total energy intake. UPF consumption was associated with younger age, living alone, lower incomes, higher BMI, and lower physical activity level (all p < 0.0001). A total of 3516 participants reported IBS (10.5%), 1785 FC (5.4%), 1303 FDy (3.9%), and 396 FDh (1.1%). After adjusting for confounding factors, an increase in UPFp was associated with a higher risk of IBS (aOR Q4 vs. Q1 [95% CI]: 1.25 [1.12-1.39], p-trend < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS This study suggests an association between UPF and IBS. Further longitudinal studies are needed to confirm those results and understand the relative impact of the nutritional composition and specific characteristics of UPF in this relationship.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Rome III diagnostic criteria had been used to diagnose functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) world wide, and functional bowel disorders (FBDs) including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) have recently attracted the attention of Japanese physicians. However, there have been few reports on the prevalence of FBDs diagnosed by the Rome III diagnostic criteria. AIMS The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of FBDs diagnosed according to the diagnostic criteria of Rome III in Japan. PATIENTS AND METHODS All patients who were booked for colonoscopy were enrolled from eight institutions in Japan. This study was a prospective observational study in the period from April 2013 to December 2013. Patients filled out FGID questionnaires of Rome III when they were waiting for colonoscopy. RESULTS Data for 1200 patients who underwent colonoscopy were analyzed. A total of 547 patients (45.6%) were diagnosed with FBDs. Out of those patients, 9.1% had IBS. According to the Rome III diagnostic criteria, 134 patients (11.2%) had functional bloating (FB), 73 (6.1%) had functional constipation (FC), 40 (3.3%) had functional diarrhea (FD), and 191 (15.9%) had unspecified functional bowel disorder (UFBD). Patients with FBDs had significantly higher rates of almost all symptoms (abdominal pain, hard or lumpy stools, loose or watery stools, and bloating) than those in the controls. CONCLUSIONS In Japan, the prevalence of FBDs and IBS is high, similar to that in the US. Many patients with FBDs have multiple symptoms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) patients are influenced by anxiety, depression, and low sleep quality, which reduce the quality of their life. However, epidemiological data on the quality of sleep in FGID patients were lacking. This study aims to explore the sleep quality and influencing factors of the sleep quality in FGID patients. METHODS 1200 subjects, diagnosed as FGID in one of the six class-three hospitals in Tianjin, China, from January to December 2014, were recruited. The information about demographic information, the severity of clinical symptoms, psychological status (Zung self-rating depression scale), and sleep quality (evaluated with Pittsburgh sleep quality index) was gathered. RESULTS The questionnaires from 1117 participants were collected including 920 of functional dyspepsia (FD) patients, 77 of irritable bowel disease (IBS) patients, 26 of functional constipation (FC) patients, and 94 other FGID patients. The results showed that morbidity rate for FD patients who had sleep disorders was higher than those who suffered from IBS or FC (P < 0.001). The proportion of elderly patients suffering from low sleep quality was higher than that of middle-aged and young patients (P < 0.001). The binary logistic regression analysis showed that age, education, and the severity of FGID symptom were influencing factors for poor sleep quality in FGID patients. CONCLUSION The issue of poor sleep quality in FGID patients in Tianjin area is prominent, and elderly patients suffer lower sleep quality than other FGID patients. Age, education, and the severity of FGID symptoms are critical influencing factors which result in a drop-in sleep quality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS Sleep impairment is a common complaint among patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia (FD). This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of sleep impairment in FD or IBS patients, and to determine whether IBS-FD overlap induced more sleep disturbance than FD or IBS alone. METHODS A population-based cohort in South Korea including 2251 subjects was asked about gastrointestinal symptoms including IBS and dyspepsia-related symptoms. In addition, sleep disturbance was measured using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Epworth Sleepiness Scale questionnaires. One-way ANOVA and logistic regression were used to assess differences among the 4 groups (healthy subjects, IBS alone, FD alone, and IBS-FD overlap). RESULTS Of 2251 subjects who were surveyed by questionnaire, 2031 responded (92.5% response rate) and were analyzed. The prevalence of IBS, FD, and IBS-FD overlap was 8.0% (95% confidence interval [CI], 6.8-9.2%), 4.8% (95% CI, 3.9-5.8%), and 1.8% (95% CI, 1.2-2.4%), respectively. FD alone, but not IBS alone, was significantly associated with a poorer sleep quality index (OR, 2.68; 95% CI, 1.43-5.01) and more daytime sleepiness (OR, 2.21; 95% CI, 1.14-4.30), compared to healthy subjects. IBS-FD overlap had the greatest likelihood of a poorer sleep quality index (OR, 3.88; 95% CI, 1.83-8.19), daytime sleepiness (OR, 2.47; 95% CI, 1.01-5.67), and insomnia (OR, 2.84; 95% CI, 1.39-5.82), compared to healthy subjects. CONCLUSION A correlation between functional gastrointestinal disorders and sleep disturbance was demonstrated, which was significantly pronounced in the context of IBS-FD overlap.

Abstract
Traditional Chinese Food Therapy has long been an integral part of dietary practices in Sinosphere Asia. This therapy is defined by the classification of foods into cooling (Yin) and heaty (Yang) and the manipulation of dietary intake of these foods as a therapeutic strategy for chronic diseases. Both functional dyspepsia (FD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are chronic, functional gut disorders widely prevalent in Sinosphere Asia. Diet is increasingly recognized as a symptom trigger in FD and IBS, and the evidence suggesting the utility of diet therapies as front-line management is growing, particularly in the West. Specifically, a diet low in Fermentable, Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides, and Polyols is an efficacious therapy for patients with IBS. In contrast, a proportion of patients with IBS in Sinosphere Asia utilize Chinese Food Therapy for symptom management. Chinese Food Therapy provides an attractive target for integration with evidence-based Western dietary therapies as a management strategy in FD and IBS. However, significant gaps in research exist with the utility of Chinese Food Therapy that first need to be addressed. This includes a lack of standardization for heaty and cooling classification, limited mechanistic rationale or clinical studies supporting its efficacy in FD and IBS, and the lack of an ideal practitioner for implementation of Chinese Food Therapy. Hence, the review provides a summary of the role of diet and nutrition in Sinosphere Asia with an emphasis on FD and IBS, and an examination of how modern dietary practices may be able to be integrated into practices in this region.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Changes in appetite are a frequent complaint in patients with functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs). The aims of this study are to evaluate whether the changes in appetite are associated with specific FGIDs and to explore associations of these changes with symptoms of anxiety or depression. METHODS This study included 1009 consecutive FGID patients (71% female), aged 48.9 years who all filled out a Rome III questionnaire for the evaluation of FGIDs, submitted to a psychological evaluation of symptoms of anxiety, and completed the Beck Depression Inventory questionnaire. The patients were classified according to their appetite change using a 7-point grading scale and split into three groups: those with appetite loss, those with no change in appetite, and those with increased appetite. RESULTS Among the 1009, 496 patients (49%) reported a change in appetite, of which 332 (33%) patients reported a decrease in appetite and 164 (16%) patients reported an increase in appetite. Appetite was not affected in 51% of patients. Changes in appetite depended on gender, body mass index and psychometric evaluation scores. Increased appetite did not have specific FGIDs associations, while decreased appetite was associated with esophageal, gastroduodenal, bowel, and anorectal symptoms. The presence of depressive symptoms was also a predictor for the majority of FGIDs in decreased appetite, while anxiety trait was significant for globus and dysphagia. CONCLUSIONS Decreased appetite was associated with FGIDs, especially in the presence of depressive symptoms. A reduced appetite would help to predict psychological disorders associated with FGIDs. FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None declared.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences in upper gastrointestinal symptoms between generations and genders in relatively healthy Japanese subjects. METHODS Altogether, 4086 healthy Japanese male and female (M/F) adults (M/F: 2244/1842) were analyzed. Among them, 3505 subjects (M/F: 1922/1583) were underwent a routine medical checkup at one of five hospitals in Saga, Japan from January 2013 to December 2013. The others were 581 (M/F: 322/259) healthy young volunteers at the Saga Medical School from April 2007 to March 2013. The participants were asked to complete the frequency scale for the symptoms of gastroesophageal reflex disease (FSSG) questionnaire, undergo upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, and submit to a rapid urease test to diagnose Helicobacter pylori infection. Among the 4086 subjects, the 2414 who had no H. pylori infection and no positive endoscopic findings were enrolled in the study. RESULTS Subjects' average age was 46.9 ± 12.2 years, with males' and females' ages being almost equivalent. The total FSSG score were high in females compared to males (P < 0.01) and decreased significantly with aging (P < 0.05). Among the generations, FSSG scores were the highest for those 20-29 years old, and they were significantly decreased with ageing in both males and females (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION The FSSG score was significantly higher in healthy Japanese females than in males, and the scores decreased with aging.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this review was to examine (1) the prevalence of smoking in subjects with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), (2) whether smoking prevalence significantly differs between subjects with and without IBS, and (3) whether smoking significantly predicts the presence or the development of IBS. METHODS Articles were retrieved by systematically searching the Scopus, Web of Science, and PubMed electronic databases from inception to July 2016, using the keywords "smoking" and "tobacco" combined with "irritable bowel syndrome." Reference lists of included articles were also searched. Articles were included if they (1) reported data on smoking prevalence in subjects with IBS and/or on the association (assessed by means of multivariate analyses) between smoking and IBS, (2) identified IBS according to Manning criteria or Rome I-III criteria, (3) were English-language articles, and (4) involved only adult subjects. RESULTS The electronic searches yielded a total of 1,637 records, and 42 articles met inclusion criteria. Another 13 articles were retrieved through manual search, leading to a total of 55 included articles. Smoking prevalence in subjects with IBS was assessed by 48 articles and ranged from 0% in university students to 47.1% in patients with microscopic colitis. Thirty-three articles compared smoking prevalence between subjects with and without IBS. In 25 articles no significant difference was found. In seven articles smoking was significantly more frequent in subjects with IBS compared to those without IBS, while one study found a significantly higher smoking prevalence in controls. Eighteen multivariate analyses assessing the association between smoking and IBS were presented in 16 articles. Only one study employed a prospective design. In 11 analyses, smoking was not significantly associated with IBS after adjusting for covariates. In seven studies smoking independently predicted the presence of IBS. CONCLUSIONS According to the selected articles, a significant association between smoking and IBS cannot be confirmed. However, different shortcomings may hinder generalizability and comparability of many studies. A dimensional assessment of smoking, a prospective design, the differentiation between IBS subgroups, and the recruitment of patients in clinical settings, especially in primary care, are necessary to clarify the role of smoking in IBS.

Abstract
A substantial proportion of patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) associate their symptoms with the ingestion of specific foods. Therefore, in recent years, scientific research has increasingly focused on the role of diet in IBS and dietary management is now considered an important tool in IBS treatment. This article reviews the main dietary approaches in IBS emphasizing evidence from experimental and observational studies and summarizing the main diet and lifestyle recommendations provided by dietary guidelines and scientific literature. Despite the limited evidence for a beneficial role, general advice on healthy eating and lifestyle is recommended as the first-line approach in the dietary management of IBS. Standard recommendations include adhering to a regular meal pattern, reducing intake of insoluble fibers, alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods, and fat, as well as performing regular physical activity and ensuring a good hydration. Second-line dietary approach should be considered where IBS symptoms persist and recommendations include following a low FODMAP diet, to be delivered only by a healthcare professional with expertise in dietary management. The efficacy of this diet is supported by a growing body of evidence. In contrast, the role of lactose or gluten dietary restriction in the treatment of IBS remains subject to ongoing research with a lack of high-quality evidence. Likewise, further clinical trials are needed to conclude the efficacy of probiotics on IBS symptoms.

The global prevalence of IBS in adults remains elusive due to the heterogeneity of studies: a Rome Foundation working team literature review. Gut 2017; 66:1075-1082. [PMID: 26818616 DOI: 10.1136/gutjnl-2015-311240] [Citation(s) in RCA: 319] [Impact Index Per Article: 45.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2015] [Revised: 12/31/2015] [Accepted: 01/06/2016] [Indexed: 01/06/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The global prevalence of IBS is difficult to ascertain, particularly in light of the heterogeneity of published epidemiological studies. The aim was to conduct a literature review, by experts from around the world, of community-based studies on IBS prevalence. DESIGN Searches were conducted using predetermined search terms and eligibility criteria, including papers in all languages. Pooled prevalence rates were calculated by combining separate population survey prevalence estimates to generate an overall combined meta-prevalence estimate. The heterogeneity of studies was assessed. RESULTS 1451 papers were returned and 83, including 288 103 participants in 41 countries, met inclusion criteria. The mean prevalence among individual countries ranged from 1.1% in France and Iran to 35.5% in Mexico. There was significant variance in pooled regional prevalence rates ranging from 17.5% (95% CI 16.9% to 18.2%) in Latin America, 9.6% (9.5% to 9.8%) in Asia, 7.1% (8.0% to 8.3%) in North America/Europe/Australia/New Zealand, to 5.8% (5.6% to 6.0%) in the Middle East and Africa. There was a significant degree of heterogeneity with the percentage of residual variation due to heterogeneity at 99.9%. CONCLUSIONS The main finding is the extent of methodological variance in the studies reviewed and the degree of heterogeneity among them. Based on this, we concluded that publication of a single pooled global prevalence rate, which is easily calculated, would not be appropriate or contributory. Furthermore, we believe that future studies should focus on regional and cross-cultural differences that are more likely to shed light on pathophysiology.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Dyspepsia is a common condition and has a huge impact on quality of life and working capacity, but its causes are not well understood. An association between stress and dyspepsia has been debated for decades, but the issue has not been resolved. We examined the 3-year risk of redeeming a proton-pump inhibitor or an H2-receptor antagonist as a proxy of dyspepsia according to the level of perceived stress. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS Perceived stress was measured in a general health survey of 16 124 Danes aged older than 16 years of age in 2010 using Cohen's Perceived Stress Scale. Data were linked individually to national registries, including the Danish National Prescription Registry. The risk of redeeming a proton-pump inhibitor or an H2-receptor antagonist for quintiles of stress level was estimated using Cox proportional hazard regression. RESULTS In total, 2703 redeemed one of these drugs during the 33 months of follow-up. The cumulative incidence proportion of dyspepsia increased gradually, from 11.6 to 24.9%, with quintiles of stress. After full model adjustment, the four highest stress quintiles had a statistically significantly increased risk of redeeming a drug compared with the lowest stress quintile. The hazard ratios were 1.16 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.00-1.34] for the second quintile, 1.21 (95% CI: 1.06-1.39) for the third quintile, 1.20 (95% CI: 1.05-1.38) for the fourth quintile, and 1.30 (95% CI: 1.12-1.50) for the fifth quintile. CONCLUSION Higher levels of self-reported perceived everyday life stress increased the risk of redeeming a drug for dyspepsia significantly during 33 months of follow-up.
