“…Dyspeptic symptoms may appear at any age and are more frequent among women, probably due to the fact that the female population seeks medical help quicker (2,46,49) . The intensity of pain and/or discomfort, and anxiety (including the fear of more serious diseases), are the main reasons for seeking a clinical or gastroenterologist opinion.…”

-Background -Medical literature has shown dyspepsia and heartburn related symptoms occur among 15% to 40% of the population. These symptoms can occur at any age and are more prevalent in women. Objective -Investigate the prevalence of dyspeptic symptoms and heartburn among individuals over 18. Methods -Individuals over 18 were randomly selected in public venues in Belo Horizonte/MG to participate. A standardized questionnaire that included questions related to social demographic characteristics, eating habits, digestive symptoms, medical appointments, medi cations, exams, previous surgeries and comorbidities was applied. A questionnaire about functional dyspepsia diagnosis (Rome III) was also applied.Results -A total of 548 individuals were interviewed. Among these, 58.4% were women, 59.3% were white, 55.9% were single and the average age was 36 years. Within this group, 376 individuals (68.6%) declared to have some symptom and/or use medication to relieve dyspepsia symptoms, and for these patients were applied the Rome III questionnaire. Based on the diagnostic criteria for the questionnaire proposed by the Rome III consensus, the symptom of postprandial fullness was reported by 6.7% of the individuals, early satiety (3.5%) and epigastric pain (10.6%). The overlap of these symptoms was very frequent. The prevalence of functional dyspepsia was 10.6% (postprandial discomfort syndrome (8.2%) and epigastric pain syndrome (2.4%). Among all participants, 52.5% reported heartburn, and 11.1% presented this symptom at least once a week. The most used drug was omeprazole. Conclusion -The prevalence of dyspeptic symptoms and heartburn among a Brazilian adult urban population is similar to those described in other countries. HEADINGS -Dyspepsia, diagnosis. Heartburn. Consenso.

“…An important case-control study from Sweden [5] analyzed the impact on quality of life as assessed by the SF-36 of diagnosed FD in a group of men and women compared with sex matched controls after controlling for chronic comorbidities (e.g., heart disease, hypertension, rheumatic disease, diabetes, long-term pain, asthma, allergy); the group of women with FD suffered more significant impact on their quality of life across a number of tested domains in terms of physical functioning, physical role limitation, bodily pain, general health and vitality compared with sex matched controls. Women with FD compared with men with FD also had a significantly poorer quality of life with respect to physical functioning, physical role limitation and perception of general health (Figure 2) [5].…”

“…Review Napthali, Koloski, Walker & Talley Women are also more likely to continue to report FD symptoms over time [4]. Women with FD also experience greater distress from this condition compared with males and have higher associations with psychosocial factors including abuse [5,6]. While the majority of treatment studies do contain more females with FD than males, no studies have directly examined whether current treatments for FD are more effective in females versus males with the condition.…”

Functional dyspepsia is relatively common yet poorly understood. The best accepted diagnostic criteria are the Rome III criteria. The epidemiology, healthcare seeking rates, impact and pathophysiology are reviewed with a focus on women. Treatment is limited with no clearly established regimen currently recommended. Duodenal eosinophilia may be found in a subset. Proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic agents represent the standard therapeutic regimen after Helicobacter pylori infection has been eliminated. Some novel agents such as the prokinetic acotiamide appear promising; however, the need for a safe and efficacious treatment remains largely unmet. This review also describes the currently available management options for functional dyspepsia.

“…Este constructo evolucionó del concepto de salud de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) del año 1948, donde la salud es entendida como un "estado de bienestar físico, psíquico y social y no únicamente de ausencia de enfermedad". Al respecto, se ha encontrado que la CV en los pacientes con DF es desfavorable (Kumar et al, 2012) en comparación con población general y especialmente en las mujeres (Ponce et al, 2009;Welén, Faresjö & Faresjö, 2008) por los altos índices de somatización (Van Oudenhove et al, 2011), y la ansiedad/depresión son factores que la predicen (Filipović et al, 2011;Haag et al, 2008). Igualmente el estrés psicosocial -ya sea agudo o crónico-precede frecuentemente el inicio y exacerbación de los síntomas de la DF (Kumar et al, 2012, Miwa, 2012.…”
