Goal: To investigate the prevalence of eating disorder (ED) symptoms among Mexican adults with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Background: The relationship between IBS and EDs is complex, yet understudied, particularly in Latin America.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 369 Mexican adults (18 to 69 y), comprising 133 IBS patients and 236 healthy controls (HCs), were evaluated using the Rome IV criteria, The Spanish version of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (S-EDE-Q), the Irritable Bowel Syndrome Symptom Severity Scale (IBS-SSS) and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
Article Synopsis
- Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD) poses an increased risk for cardiovascular issues, and identifying biomarkers for its early detection is particularly important in Latin America.
- The study evaluated sixteen different biomarkers among 161 Mexican individuals to determine their effectiveness in diagnosing MASLD.
- Results showed that the TyG-WC index was the most reliable predictor of MASLD, with significant differences in diagnostic efficacy based on sex.
