ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
There is no study evaluating the association between exercise and functional dyspepsia (FD) based on the Rome IV criteria. We aimed to investigate the prevalence of FD and evaluate the association between exercise and FD based on Rome IV criteria among a sample of Chinese armed police recruits.METHODS:
An on-site questionnaire survey on FD among a sample of Chinese armed police recruits was conducted based on the Rome IV criteria in 2021. Potential confounders included age, body mass index (BMI), race, marriage, education, smoking, and drinking variables were adjusted.RESULTS:
A total of 2594 recruits were enrolled, including 46 FD participants and 2548 non-FD participants. In the model adjusted for all demographic variables among participants excluding irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional constipation (FC), compared with no exercise participants, 1 h < each exercise time ≤ 2 h (OR = 0.15, 95% CI 0.03-0.77, P = 0.0230) was inversely associated with FD and compared with no exercise participants, mild exercise (OR = 0.09, 95% CI 0.01-0.71, P = 0.0220) was significantly inversely associated with FD.CONCLUSIONS:
The incidence rate of FD in this sample Chinese armed police recruits was 1.77%, and 1 h < each exercise time ≤ 2 h and mild intensity exercise were independently inversely associated with FD. However, the causal relationship needs to be verified by further randomized controlled trials.Palavras-chave
