Prevalence and Associated Factors of Irritable Bowel Syndrome among Medical Students at King Khalid University
The prevalence of IBS among medical students at KKU was highest in the age group of 21-23 years, who were nonsmokers, and who had a relatively high grade point average. We did not find a gender difference. Compared to non-IBS students, the anxiety level of the students with IBS was dramatically higher.
