DETERMINATION OF PREVALENCE OF BOWEL DISORDERS IN ADULTS

Abstract

Background: To determine the demographic characteristics and some health/disease characteristics of intestinal diseases according to the Rome IV diagnostic criteria of adults and to evaluate the basic characteristics of intestinal diseases. Methods: 333 individuals aged 18 years and older and with ongoing gastrointestinal symptoms for at least 6 months participated in the descriptive study. Data were collected between June 2020 and February 2021 via google form. Ethical permission and participant consents were obtained for the conduct of the study. Results: The mean age of the individuals participating in the study was 37.0±11.5; 62.2% of them are women. The rate of participants consuming 1-2 servings of fruit per day is 69.7%. While 41.1% of individuals have at least one chronic disease, 30% of them have at least one drug that they use constantly. While the rate of those who do regular physical activity is 23.4%, the toilet type used by 67.3% is European style. Conclusion: According to the Rome IV diagnostic criteria, the most common bowel disease was functional abdominal swelling/tension (43.8%); It has been determined that the number of intestinal symptoms is related to intestinal diseases, daily fruit consumption and economic status.

Yetişkin Bireylerde Bağırsak Hastalıkları Sıklığının Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Giriş: Yetişkin bireylerin Roma IV tanı kriterlerine göre bağırsak hastalıklarının demografik özellikleri ve bazı sağlık/hastalık özelliklerinin belirlenmesi, bağırsak hastalıklarının temel özelliklerini değerlendirmektir. Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı türdeki araştırmaya 18 yaş ve üzeri olan, en az 6 aydır gastrointestinal semptomları devam eden 333 birey katılmıştır. Veriler google form aracılığıyla Haziran 2020- Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın yürütülmesi için etik izin ve katılımcı onayları alınmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan bireylerin yaş ortalaması 37.0±11.5; %62.2’si kadındır. Katılımcıların günlük 1-2 porsiyon meyve tüketenlerin oranı %69.7’dir. Bireylerin %41.1’i en az bir kronik hastalığa sahipken, %30’unun sürekli kullandığı en az bir adet ilacı vardır. Düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapanların oranı %23.4 iken, %67.3’ünün kullandığı tuvalet şekli alafrangadır. Sonuç: Roma IV tanı kriterlerine göre en fazla görülen bağırsak hastalığının fonksiyonel abdominal şişlik/gerginlik (%43.8) olduğu; bağırsak semptom sayısının bağırsak hastalıkları, günlük meyve tüketimi ve ekonomik durumla ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
