Prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome among university students
Abstract
Objective Relationships between presence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), chronic worry, neuroticism, anxiety sensitivity and anxiety about visceral sensations were examined among university students.Methods College student participants were administered self-report diagnostic measures of IBS and GAD, the Penn State Worry Questionnaire (PSWQ), the Neuroticism subscale of the Eysenck Personality Questionnaire, the Anxiety Sensitivity Index (ASI) and five additional items designed to measure visceral anxiety.Results The prevalence of IBS and its associated characteristics among students were similar to previous community survey studies, with the exception of lower symptom severity in the university sample. IBS was associated with a higher frequency of GAD and greater worry, neuroticism, anxiety sensitivity and visceral anxiety. Logistic regression analyses further showed that the measure of anxiety specific to visceral sensations was the strongest predictor of IBS diagnostic status.Conclusions While various aspects of anxiety appear related to IBS, specific anxiety about visceral sensations appears to be the most significant factor. Implications of the associations between anxiety-related variables, particularly anxiety about visceral sensations, are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
