Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to examine how common irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is among young Japanese women and how factors like mental health, physical activity, and diet influence it, using a combination of questionnaires for data collection.
- - It found that 12% of participants had IBS, with constipation-predominant IBS being more common than diarrhea-predominant IBS, and noted that IBS individuals tended to be more anxious, more physically active, and had different dietary habits compared to non-IBS participants.
- - The study concluded that the prevalence rates of IBS were consistent with other research, suggesting that a variety of factors—mental, physical, and nutritional—play a significant role in its development.
