Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Psychosomatic Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Dyspeptic complaints are common reasons for primary care consultations.
  • The role of lifestyle factors, including stress and habits, in dyspepsia is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between perceived stress, life situation, eating habits, and alcohol/tobacco consumption in patients with dyspeptic complaints.
  • To compare these factors between dyspeptic patients and a healthy control group.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional study involving 100 patients with dyspeptic complaints and a control group.
  • Data collected on eating habits, life situation (occupation, family, economic worries), perceived stress, tobacco, and alcohol consumption.

Main Results:

  • Dyspeptic patients reported significantly higher stress related to occupation, family, and economic worries than controls.
  • A trend towards higher tobacco consumption was observed in patients with ulcus (ulcer).
  • No significant differences were found in eating habits or alcohol consumption between the groups.

Conclusions:

  • Psychosocial stressors, particularly occupational, familial, and economic, are associated with dyspeptic complaints.
  • Tobacco consumption may be linked to ulcer development in dyspeptic patients.
  • Dietary habits and alcohol consumption do not appear to be differentiating factors for dyspepsia in this cohort.
