Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is the main functional gastrointestinal disorder, manifesting through various symptoms lacking a clear organic cause. This condition poses a health concern given its considerable costs and impact on quality of life.
Objective: To determine the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome among medical students at Fundación Universitaria San Martín, Sabaneta campus, as of November 2016.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted, involving FUSM medical students enrolled in the program for the 2016-2 period. The prevalence of the syndrome was determined by means of the Rome III criteria through a self-administered survey. Univariate and bivariate analyses were performed to investigate associations.
Results: A prevalence of 17.92% for IBS was found among 173 respondents, with the mixed pattern being the most frequent (77.41%). There was a potential association between IBS and generalized anxiety disorder, the presence of at least one gastrointestinal symptom, and alcohol consumption at least once a month.
Conclusions: The prevalence of IBS is 17.92%, suggesting a potential association with anxiety. However, major depression does not appear to be related to IBS in this study. Further research is necessary to explore the connection between habits and lifestyles that include alcohol and cigarette consumption.
