“…Nevertheless, this is slightly higher than the average total prevalence reported for IBS in the general population in Latin America, which was estimated at 15.4% (Rome II criteria 23.5%; Rome III 11.8%; and Rome IV 6.98%) (10). The prevalence of the present study reflects a superiority compared to another study conducted in human medicine students from a university in Peru, using the Rome III criteria, in which the prevalence of IBS was 12.4% (29).…”

“…However, the average prevalence of IBS for Latin America was 15.4%; furthermore, according to Rome II, III, and IV criteria, the prevalence of IBS was 23.5, 11.8, and 6.98%, respectively (10). Multiple factors have been proposed that influence the increase in IBS prevalence (4), such as bacterial etiology, psychological components (stress, anxiety, and/or depression), social and academic factors, female gender (11), and disorders in eating behavior (7).…”

BackgroundIrritable Bowel Syndrome has emerged as a significant public health challenge, particularly relevant in medical students due to the high demands of their studies, academic stress, and susceptibility to eating disorders. Nevertheless, conclusive evidence regarding the factors associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in the Latin American student population remains limited. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with Irritable Bowel Syndrome in Human Medicine students at a university in northern Peru.MethodsA cross-sectional analytical study conducted in Lambayeque, northern Peru. With 403 Human Medicine students (66.5% female, 33.5% male). A simple random probabilistic sampling type was used, based on a list of students enrolled. A multivariate analysis was conducted to determine the factors associated using simple and multiple regression models. Generalized Linear Models were applied, using the Poisson distribution family, robust variance, and the academic year as a cluster.ResultsThe prevalence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome was 16.9% (95% CI: 13.37–20.86). The median age was 21 years, with 66.5% being female. In the multiple regression analysis, Irritable Bowel Syndrome was associated with a higher prevalence of depression (PR: 3.63; 95% CI: 1.26–10.49) and eating disorders (PR: 1.57; 95% CI: 1.01–2.43). For each additional year of age, the prevalence of Irritable Bowel Syndrome decreased by 9% (PR: 0.91; 95% CI: 0.83–0.99).ConclusionThis study reveals that approximately two out of every 10 students exhibit symptoms related to IBS, underscoring its significance in the Human Medicine student population. Furthermore, depression and eating disorders were identified as significant factors associated with IBS in students. Consequently, it is essential to focus efforts on early identification and the implementation of preventive measures to mitigate the development of this pathology, given its substantial prevalence in this context of Human Medicine students.

“…Egypt had the highest prevalence rate of internet surveyed countries[ 8 ]. As well as that, representative researches have also been carried out in various countries in recent years and reported that the prevalence of IBS was 5.2% (Rome IV), 5.9% (Rome III), and 6.98% (Rome IV) in Gibraltar, the United Kingdom[ 9 ], Hangzhou, China[ 10 ] and Latin America[ 11 ], respectively. Based on population survey data in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, the results revealed the Rome III IBS rate was roughly twice as high as the Rome IV rate[ 12 ].…”

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has several extrapulmonary symptoms. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are among the most frequent clinical manifestations of COVID-19, with severe consequences reported in elderly patients. Furthermore, the impact of COVID-19 on patients with pre-existing digestive diseases still needs to be fully elucidated, particularly in the older population. This review aimed to investigate the impact of COVID-19 on the GI tract, liver, and pancreas in individuals with and without previous digestive diseases, with a particular focus on the elderly, highlighting the distinctive characteristics observed in this population. Finally, the effectiveness and adverse events of the anti-COVID-19 vaccination in patients with digestive disorders and the peculiarities found in the elderly are discussed.

“… 2 Among medical students, this rate escalates to 30.9% to 36.3%. 3 , 4 In Latin America, its prevalence ranges from 3% to 25%, with Peru reporting a rate of 21% for its general populace 3 , 5 and 9.5% to 12.4% among medical students. 4 , 6 The pivotal role of IBS is endothelial dysfunction resulting from chronic inflammation, predisposing individuals to vascular risks and consequently erectile dysfunction (ED) caused by impaired nitric oxide availability from inflammatory cytokines.…”

Background There is inconclusive evidence regarding the role of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in the development of erectile dysfunction (ED), especially among medical students due to high academic stress. Aim To determine the association between IBS and ED in medical students from a Peruvian university in 2022. Methods An analytical cross-sectional study was conducted with secondary data analysis on 133 medical students from a university in northern Peru during the 2021-II academic semester. The dependent variable was ED as measured with the 5-item International Index of Erectile Function, and the exposure variable was IBS as assessed with the Rome IV–Bristol questionnaire. Outcomes The results were the prevalence rates of IBS and ED and the association of these variables. Results Of the 133 medical students surveyed, the median age was 22 years (IQR, 19-24). The median score on the 5-item International Index of Erectile Function was 21 (IQR, 10-24). The prevalence of ED was 38.4% (95% CI, 30.05%-47.17%). Among the medical students 3% and 9% displayed moderate and severe ED, respectively, and 24.8%, 13.5%, and 24.1% showed moderate depressive, anxious, and severe symptoms. An overall 10.5% had IBS. Medical students with IBS had a 108% higher prevalence of ED than those without the syndrome (prevalence ratio, 2.08; 95% CI, 1.06-4.06). Other confounding variables were not significantly associated (P > .05). Clinical Implications The results underline the importance of comprehensive sexual and mental health assessment, with an emphasis on the relationship between IBS and ED in medical students. Strengths and Limitations Strengths include the use of validated and reliable instruments and rigorous biostatistical methods, and this is the first Peruvian investigation to explain the association between IBS and ED in medical students. Limitations include the cross-sectional design and nonprobability sampling, and there may be bias in applying the instruments. Conclusion This study reveals a significant association between IBS and a higher prevalence of ED in these students.
