Background Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disorder in children and adults. The IBS is diagnosed by symptoms that fulfill the Rome IV criteria. This condition can impact quality of life, especially in adolescents. Objectives To investigate the prevalence of IBS in high school students and analyze its risk factors. Methods This cross-sectional study was done with e-questionnaires from Rome IV Diagnostic Questionnaire on Pediatric Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (R4PDQ). Students from high school and occupational schools age 14 to 18-years-old in Jakarta were included in this study. Possible risk factors for IBS were analyzed using Fisher’s exact test for bivariate analysis and logistic regression for multivariate analysis. Results Of 210 subjects, 10 (4.8%) had IBS. The IBS-M and IBS-C subtypes were more common than IBS-D. Gastrointestinal infection history was significantly associated with IBS (OR 7.1; 95%CI 1.7 to 29.3; P=0.013). Other factors such as gender, corporal punishment, asthma, spicy and fatty food consumption, as well as socioeconomic status were not significantly associated with IBS (P>0.05).   Conclusion The prevalence of IBS in adolescents is 4.8%. History of gastrointestinal infection is a risk factor for IBS.

Irritable Bowel

Background: Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is a common chronic functional gastrointestinaldisorder characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort and alteration in bowel habits. It is morecommon among adolescents and young age groups.Objectives: to estimate the prevalence and identify potential determinants of IBS among high schoolstudents in Baghdad, Iraq, 2017.Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted by using multi-staging cluster probabilitysampling technique. All students in the sixth grade were considered eligible. Students with "red flag"symptoms were excluded. Rome III criteria questionnaire of IBS was considered to define IBS. Aself-administered questionnaire used to compile socio-demographics, personal habits and certainpotential determinants. IBS was further classified as mixed type (M-IBS), diarrhea predominant type(D-IBS) and constipation predominant type (C-IBS).Result: Among 657 eligible high school students, 592 (90.1%) were enrolled. The prevalence of IBSwas 29.7% (95% C.I: 29.4- 30.1%). The most common type of IBS was M-IBS (42.6%) followed byD-IBS (33.5%). Binary and logistic regression analyses revealed the following significant factors:exposure to stressful life event (OR: 3.93; 95% CI: 2.64 – 4.85), food hypersensitivity (OR: 2.89; 95%CI: 1.59 – 3.27), chronic diseases (OR: 2.22; 95% CI: 1.24 – 3.95), family history of IBS (OR: 2.04;95% CI: 1.30 – 3.01) and female sex (OR: 1.84; 95% CI: 1.25 – 2.73). C-IBS was significantly morecommon among females (P=0.02)Conclusion: IBS is a common health problem among high school students. Among the hereditary,environmental and psycho-social factors, stress was the most important determinant.

Although the rate of sexual intercourse among adolescents has increased in Asian countries, including Korea, many sexually active adolescents still do not use contraception. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors for contraceptive nonuse among adolescents using decision tree analysis of the 2018 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Survey data from 2,460 high school students who had an experience of sexual intercourse. The findings indicated that the highest risk group who did not use contraception during sexual intercourse did not receive sexual health education in school and was involved in habitual or purposeful drug use. The experience of ever receiving treatment due to violence and the experience of sexual intercourse after drinking were also identified as risk factors for contraceptive nonuse. To encourage contraceptive use, development of standard sexual health education, counseling, and educational intervention intended to prevent risky behaviors is needed.

Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a serious significant public health problem, since it’s negative impact on physicaland psycological development, behavior and work capacity. There are many risk factors influencing the development of IDA.A cross-sectional study has been conducted in 301 Junior High School students at East Jakarta in January-February 2000.A structural questionnaire, physical, cell blood count (CBC) and Serum Iron ( SI ) examinations were performed. We foundsome of the many variables were connected with IDA by using bivariat analysis. Anemia was found in 41 out of 301 students(13,6%) and only 25 children (8.3%) suffered from IDA. Among 179 female students, only 33 children (18.5%) were anemicand 20 out of 33 (12.0%) have IDA. Bivariat analysis revealed a significant association between IDA with sex, parent’seducation, food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) scores, and menstruation. It is concluded that the prevalence of IDA in thisstudy was lower than found in some previous studies in Indonesia. Gender, menstruation, low educated parents, and low FFQscores were risk factors for IDA.

Abstract Objective: To estimate the prevalence of back pain in adolescent girls, and determine whether this pain is associated with socioeconomic, demographic, anthropometric, and behavioral factors. Methods: This was an epidemiological survey with a representative sample of 495 female high school students, aged 14 to 18 years, in the municipality of São Leopoldo in the southern Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. Data were collected through a self-administered questionnaire with closed, standardized, coded, and tested questions. Bivariate analysis included the chi-square test (x2) and calculation of prevalence ratios (α<0.05). Results: The prevalence of back pain was 75.2%. The thoracic-lumbar (30.4%) and lumbar (27.7%) regions of the spine were most affected. Among the students with pain, 60.5% reported the severity of their pain to be moderate to severe, and 21.2% reported that the pain prevented them from performing activities of daily living. Regarding associated factors, the pain was more prevalent in overweight/obese students (RP = 1.246, 95% CI: 1.137 to 1.366), who reported carrying a heavy school backpack/bag (PR = 1.187, 95% CI: 1.073 to 1.314) and those who had incorrect posture when picking up objects from the floor (PR = 1.138, 95% CI: 1.031 to 1.256). Conclusions: There was a high prevalence of back pain associated with body mass index, reported weight of the student's school backpack/bag, and posture when picking up objects from the floor.
