Summary
This summary is machine-generated.The relationship between disorders of gut-brain interactions (DGBI), marital quality, and clinical symptoms in married Malay women is complex and bidirectional. This bidirectional link influences functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), and their overlap.
Area Of Science
- Gastroenterology
- Psychology
- Sociology
Background
- Disorders of Gut-Brain Interactions (DGBI) disproportionately affect women.
- Marital quality's role in DGBI clinical manifestations is suspected but mechanistically unclear.
Purpose Of The Study
- To investigate the intricate relationships between DGBI, marital quality, and clinical attributes in married Malay women.
- To elucidate the bidirectional nature of these connections.
Main Methods
- Cross-sectional study of married Malay women diagnosed with functional dyspepsia (FD), irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or overlap using Rome IV criteria.
- Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and Pearson correlation analyses were employed.
- Path analysis models were developed to identify supported relationships.
Main Results
- Analysis included 513 participants with FD (33.9%), IBS (29.5%), and FD-IBS overlap (36.6%).
- Significant differences were found across DGBI groups for multiple variables.
- Path analysis confirmed complex, bidirectional relationships, with 50 supported relationships for FD-IBS overlap, 43 for FD, and 39 for IBS.
Conclusions
- The interplay between DGBI, marital quality, and clinical factors is complex and bidirectional.
- Findings highlight the interconnectedness of gastrointestinal health, psychological well-being, and relationship dynamics.

Assessing the gastrointestinal (GI) system is a complex process that begins with collecting subjective data. This data, collected through patient interviews, provides crucial insights into the patient's health history, perception patterns, and lifestyle habits, all contributing significantly to GI health.
Health Perception Patterns
Health perception patterns offer valuable insights into a patient's lifestyle habits and how they may impact their GI health. These patterns include:

Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is characterized by functional disturbances in the gastrointestinal system, presenting a cluster of symptoms without evident structural or biochemical abnormalities. It primarily affects the large intestine and may cause abdominal pain, bloating, excessive gas, diarrhea, constipation, or both.
IBS is a chronic condition that can persist over a long period or recur frequently.
The pathogenesis of IBS involves a complex interplay of the following factors:
