Abstract
- This study explored the prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and investigated the relationship between IBS and disturbed sleep in school-age children in Shanghai, China. Primary, middle and high school students ( n = 1542) were recruited from schools in Shanghai. Students completed two questionnaires: the questionnaire for IBS in children and adolescents and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The overall prevalence of IBS adjusted for cluster effects among students was 18.81%, and prevalence increased with age. Relative to non-IBS students, more IBS students tended to have poor sleep, including quality and duration. IBS is common among children and adolescents in Shanghai, China, and its prevalence increases with age. A tendency toward poor sleep also increases with age. The causal relationship between sleep and IBS needs to be further studied. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
