Papaefthymiou A, et al. - In this prospective multicenter survey involving 1605 candidates (mean age was 23.85 years), researchers analyzed the effect of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), one of the gut-brain axis interaction disorders, on noncombat active duty military without reports of Greek military or stress in the occupational environment. Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and Rome IV criteria have been used. Data reported that the prevalence of IBS was 8%. Investigators, for the first time, showed the potential influence of occupational stress on IBS in active duty noncombat Greek Military personnel. Diagnosing IBS by questionnaire is a fast, affordable way to improve the quality of life and relieve from the military burden through its management. The outcomes are similar with previous studies, although the confirmation of a possible causative relationship requires large-scale epidemiological studies.
