Abstract

Constipation, a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder, significantly impacts quality of life. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, risk factors, and implications of constipation in Urumqi City. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from July to August 2023, involving 1,386 participants aged 20-80 years. Data were collected via a self-administered questionnaire, with constipation severity assessed using the Patient Assessment of Constipation Symptoms (PAC-SYM) scale. Key findings indicated that various factors, including residing in rural areas, outdoor work, and sleep disorders, were positively correlated with higher PAC-SYM scores. Conversely, higher daily water intake and certain dietary patterns showed negative correlations. Additionally, increased constipation severity was associated with greater physiological strain and psychosocial concerns (all p < 0.05), emphasizing the disorder's profound effect on quality of life. These findings underscore the need for comprehensive management strategies in Urumqi, considering its diverse lifestyle and dietary factors.

期刊介绍： No subject pertains more to human life than nutrition. The aim of Frontiers in Nutrition is to integrate major scientific disciplines in this vast field in order to address the most relevant and pertinent questions and developments. Our ambition is to create an integrated podium based on original research, clinical trials, and contemporary reviews to build a reputable knowledge forum in the domains of human health, dietary behaviors, agronomy & 21st century food science. Through the recognized open-access Frontiers platform we welcome manuscripts to our dedicated sections relating to different areas in the field of nutrition with a focus on human health. Specialty sections in Frontiers in Nutrition include, for example, Clinical Nutrition, Nutrition & Sustainable Diets, Nutrition and Food Science Technology, Nutrition Methodology, Sport & Exercise Nutrition, Food Chemistry, and Nutritional Immunology. Based on the publication of rigorous scientific research, we thrive to achieve a visible impact on the global nutrition agenda addressing the grand challenges of our time, including obesity, malnutrition, hunger, food waste, sustainability and consumer health.
