Prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome among Egyptian undergraduate physiotherapy students of Benha University
Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most prevalent gastro-intestinal disorders, causing abdominal pain and altered bowel habits with unknown organic pathology. Studying the prevalence of such disorders among students may help make comparisons among universities and countries and determine their association with academic achievement. Purpose : This study aims to determine the prevalence of IBS among undergraduate students of faculty of physical therapy, Benha University, Egypt. Methods: This is a cross-sectional study. A survey includes some baseline data, Rome IV criteria for IBS, and if diagnosed by a physician with IBS. Forty students responded, and their characteristics were presented and the prevalence of IBS among them was calculated. Results: The prevalence of IBS among the sample was 25% (10 out of 40). Conclusion: IBS is common among undergraduate students of the faculty of physical therapy at Benha University, affecting about 25%. Further studies linking this disorder with the level of stress and academic achievement are needed .
