Abstract

Objective: the aim of our study was to study the relationship between constipation syndrome and obesity in gastroenterological patients. Materials and Methods: the study included 55 patients of the gastroenterology department of St. Petersburg State Budgetary Institution of Health “Elizavetinskaya Hospital”. Each patient was questioned according to the author’s questionnaire, which included the following indicators: age, height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), stool frequency (number a week), stool type according to the Bristol scale (1-7). Statistical processing was carried out using the SPSS8.0 software package. Results: The study revealed the following correlations: 1. BMI-age. BMI increases with age r=0.329 (p=0.014) 2. Stool frequency-age. With age, there is a decrease in the frequency of stools r= -0.651 (p<0.001) 3. Type of stool according to the Bristol scale-Age. With age, the type of stool shifts towards constipation r= -0.515 (p<0.001) 4. Type of stool according to the Bristol scale-BMI. With an increase n BMI, the stool shifts towards constipation r= -0.307 (p=0.023). Conclusions: according to the results of our study, we found the relationship between body mass index and constipation syndrome. It is necessary to pay special attention to patients with overweight in relation to complaints of constipation, as well as to made dynamic monitoring in order to prevent the development of colorectal cancer in patients with constipation.
