Background: Functional Gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are highly prevalent in the adolescent population leading to morbidity. However, their exact prevalence is not clearly known. The present study attempts to assess their prevalence in adolescent children. Material & methods: A total of 757 school/college-going adolescents aged 10–19 years attending four different schools covered in a field study were assessed for the prevalence of FGIDs using a questionnaire based on ROME-IV criteria. Socio-demographic data of the participants were also noted. Prevalence and type of FGIDs were determined. The chi-square test and Independent samples ‘t’-test were used to compare the data. Results: The prevalence of FGIDs was 15.85 % (n = 120) in the adolescent population in our study. Functional abdominal pain disorders (n = 65; 54.2 %) were the most common type followed by functional defecation disorders (n = 49; 40.8 %) and functional nausea and vomiting disorders (n = 6; 5 %) respectively. Adolescents with FGIDs had significantly lower mean age (12.98 ± 2.30 years) and mean BMI (16.9 ± 3.2 kg/m2) as compared to those without FGIDs (p |
