Prevalence and Associated Factors of Bloating: Results From the Rome Foundation Global Epidemiology Study.
Bloating is a common symptom in the general population and among disorders of gut-brain interaction, although its prevalence has not been well characterized. The aim of this study was to report the prevalence of bloating as a symptom in the worldwide population and to identify factors associated with this symptom in the general population.. Rome Foundation Global Epidemiology Study internet survey data were analyzed. After excluding respondents with potential organic causes of bowel symptoms, the current analysis included 51,425 individuals in 26 countries. Data included diet, medical history, quality of life, and Rome IV diagnostic questions. Presence of bloating was defined as experiencing bloating at least once per week for the last 3 months. Descriptive statistics estimated prevalence by country, region, and disorder of gut-brain interaction diagnosis. Logistic regression evaluated predictors of bloating.. Nearly 18% of the global study population reported bloating (ranging from 11% in East Asia to 20% in Latin America). Prevalence decreased with age and women were approximately twice as likely as men to report bloating. More than one-half of respondents who reported weekly epigastric pain (71.39%), nausea (59.7%), or abdominal pain (61.69%) also reported bloating at least once per week. In logistic regression, the strongest associations were with abdominal pain (odds ratio, 2.90) and epigastric pain (odds ratio, 2.07).. Bloating is common throughout the world. Nearly 18% of the general population experience bloating at least once per week. Reported bloating prevalence is lower in older age groups, most common in women, and strongly associated with abdominal pain.

Characteristics of, and natural history among, individuals with Rome IV functional bowel disorders.
Little is known about the natural history of functional bowel disorders using Rome IV criteria. We examined these issues in a longitudinal follow-up study.. We collected complete demographic, gastrointestinal symptom, and psychological comorbidity data at baseline from 1372 adults who met Rome IV criteria for one of the five functional bowel disorders. At 12 months, we collected data regarding gastrointestinal symptoms, psychological comorbidity, consultation behavior, and treatment commenced. We examined prognosis and stability of all five functional bowel disorders.. At baseline, 811 (59.1%) individuals met Rome IV criteria for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), 76 (5.5%) functional constipation (FC), 199 (14.5%) functional diarrhea (FDr), 130 (9.5%) functional abdominal bloating or distension (FABD), and 156 (11.4%) unspecified functional bowel disorder (UFBD). In total, 782 (57.0%) were successfully followed up. Individuals with IBS at baseline were significantly more likely to report symptoms compatible with anxiety, depression, or somatoform-type behavior (p < 0.001 for all analyses) at baseline and follow-up compared with those with the other four functional bowel disorders. IBS was the most stable functional bowel disorder; 319 (70.6%) of 452 participants still met criteria for IBS at 12 months, compared with 14 (34.1%) of 41, 43 (35.5%) of 121, 26 (33.8%) of 77, and 37 (40.7%) of 91 for FC, FDr, FABD, and UFBD, respectively (p < 0.001).. Individuals with Rome IV-defined IBS exhibited higher levels of anxiety, depression, or somatoform-type symptom reporting. IBS was the most stable and the likeliest disorder that the other four functional bowel disorders would fluctuate to.

Latent class analysis does not support the existence of Rome IV functional bowel disorders as discrete entities.
Previously, we used latent class analysis (LCA) to identify novel subgroups in people with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). There are four other functional bowel disorders that, although characterized as discrete disorders, overlap considerably with, and fluctuate to, IBS. These might instead be conceptualized as a milder form of IBS. We explored this hypothesis using LCA in a cohort of people with non-IBS functional bowel disorders.. We collected demographic, symptom, and psychological health data from 1375 adults in the community who self-identified as having IBS and identified individuals meeting Rome IV criteria for any non-IBS functional bowel disorder. We performed LCA to identify specific subgroups (clusters). We followed participants up at 12 months to reassess gastrointestinal and psychological heath and also gather data about healthcare utilization and impact of symptoms.. 811 people met Rome IV criteria for IBS and 558 Rome IV criteria for another functional bowel disorder (76 (5.5%) functional constipation; 198 (14.5%) functional diarrhea; 129 (9.5%) functional abdominal bloating or distension; and 155 (11.4%) unspecified functional bowel disorder). LCA in these 558 people identified five clusters defined by a combination of gastrointestinal symptoms and the extent of psychological co-morbidity. However, correlation between these clusters and the Rome IV functional bowel disorder diagnoses was poor and 75% of people were classified as having mild IBS using our previous IBS-derived model. By 12 months, one-third of people had fluctuated and met criteria for IBS. Clusters with high psychological burden had a poorer prognosis, with higher rates of medical consultation, medication use, and greater impact of symptoms on daily life.. The functional bowel disorders may be better characterized as a spectrum of IBS rather than separate disorders. Adopting this pragmatic stance may help to simply diagnosis, treatment, and recruitment of patients to research trials.
