Resumen

CAMPOS HURTADO, Guisela; VILLARREAL MENCHOLA, Juan; CORNEJO ZAPATA, Carlos  y  LEON BARUA, Raúl. Prevalencia de los criterios de manning en una población de nivel socioeconómico alto de Lima. Rev. gastroenterol. Perú [online]. 2001, vol.21, n.4, pp.301-305. ISSN 1022-5129.

All studies confirm IBS is one of the most common problems in medical practice, and the most common in gastroenterologic practice, subdiagnosed in many cases, misdiagnosed in others. In our country there are no studies published to describe the prevalence of symptoms of IBS. Our objective was to evaluate the prevalence of Manning's Criteria, in am apparently healthly population, of high socioeconomical level, from Lima. We carried-out a Croos-Sectional study of prevalence in 300 subjects from 5 districts of higher socioeconomical level of Lima. We found 78 persons withlower bowel symptoms (26%). The most frequent symptom-criteria in this population was mucus in stools, meanwhile the least frequent was the increase in frequency. We do not find differences between frequency of symptoms with depression associated, sex, age, nor districts. Our frequency of symptoms is not in accord with tradicionally described in this syndrome.

Palabras clave : Irritable Bowel; Manning's criteria.
