Predictive Factors for a Clinical Diagnosis of Irritable Bowel Syndrome in a Large Cohort of Young Adults.

The prevalence of IBS in the community has been reported in numerous cross-sectional surveys. However, less is known about the incidence of IBS ,mainly due to its slow development and to patients under-reporting. Furthermore, only one study has analyzed data concerning potential risk factors for the diagnosis of IBS. The investigators will examine the incidence of IBS in a large cohort of young adults and will look at the association of socioeconomic, anthropometric and occupational factors with IBS incidence.
