Background: Irritable bowel syndrome is a functional bowel disease including chronic abdominal discomfort and abdominal pain which is relevant to changing of defecation feature. Irritable bowel syndrome’s pathway is yet to be solved perfectly. Generally speaking, obesity affects gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and constipation. Therefore, there could be a relationship between obesity and irritable bowel syndrome. This research would like to figure out the corelation of obesity and irritable bowel syndrome and corelation of waist circumference which never been studied.
Methods: The study group was from 90 colonoscopic exam patients of Health Promotion Center of Pusan national university. Among 90 of them, 19 were excluded because they had organic factor. Totally 71 patients’ waist circumference were measured and researched on the corelation of Irritable bowel syndrome by using Rome II standard.
Results: In women, the incident rate of obesity group (BMI≥25) and normal weight group (18.5≤BMI＜25) were 60% and 9.5%, so that, the obesity group’s incident rate was significantly increased in statistics.
Relative risk of normal weight group without central obesity (M＜90 cm, F＜85 cm and 18.5≤BMI＜25) compare with normal weight group with central obesity (M≥90 cm, F≥85 cm and 18.5≤BMI＜25) was 4.23. Relative risk of obesity group with central obesity (M≥90 cm, F≥85 cm and BMI≥25) was 4.14.
Conslusion: This research presented the corelation of irritable bowel syndrome and BMI in women and incident rate of patient with central obesity was significantly increased compare to normal weight group without central obesity.
