Table 1. Characteristics of the study population.
Table 2. Prevalence of concomitant diseases and drug treatment.
Table 3. Prevalence for family history of different diseases.
Table 4. Association between irritable bowel syndrome or gastrointestinal symptoms past 2 weeks and other diseases and drug treatment.
Figure 1. (a) Forest plot showing OR and CI for associations between self-reported irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and family history of diseases. The red line is a reference line located at 1.00. Celiac disease, lactose intolerance, reflux, gastric ulcer, functional dyspepsia, IBS, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are subgroups of GI disease in the family. (b) Forest plot showing OR and CI for associations between gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms past 2 weeks and family history of diseases. GI symptoms were assessed by the validated visual analog scale for irritable bowel syndrome (VAS-IBS) [Citation13]. The red line is a reference line located at 1.00. Celiac disease, lactose intolerance, reflux, gastric ulcer, functional dyspepsia, IBS, Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are subgroups of GI disease in the family.
