Association between physical activity, fiber intake, and other lifestyle variables and constipation in a study of women.

Because the risk factors for constipation in the general population are poorly defined, we examined the association between age, body mass index, and selected lifestyle and dietary factors with the prevalence of constipation in the Nurses' Health Study.A total of 62,036 women, aged 36-61 yr and free of cancer, responded to mailed questionnaires in 1980 and 1982, which assessed bowel movement frequency, dietary, and lifestyle factors. Constipation was defined as two or fewer bowel movements weekly.A total of 3327 women (5.4%) were classified as having constipation. Age and body mass index were inversely associated with constipation (p for trend < 0.0001). In multivariate analysis, women who reported daily physical activity had a lower prevalence of constipation (prevalence ratio [PR] = 0.56, 95% CI = 0.44-0.70). Women in the highest quintile of dietary fiber intake (median intake 20 g/day) were less likely to experience constipation (PR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.57-0.73) than women in the lowest quintile (median intake 7 g/day). The PR for constipation for women who both reported daily physical activity and were in the highest quintile of fiber intake was 0.32 (95% CI = 0.20-0.54) compared with those with physical activity less than once weekly and those who were in the lowest quintile of fiber intake. Higher frequency of aspirin intake was associated with an increasing prevalence of constipation (PR = 1.38, 95% CI = 1.17-1.62). Current smoking and alcohol use were inversely associated with constipation.Our data suggest that moderate physical activity and increasing fiber intake are associated with substantial reduction in the prevalence of constipation in women.

Association between pain episodes and high amplitude propagated pressure waves in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.

OBJECTIVES: In the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), both increased visceral sensitivity and altered colonic motility seem to play a role. The aim of this study was to quantify the temporal relationship between pain episodes and the occurrence of high amplitude propagated pressure waves (HAPPWs).METHODS: A total of 11 IBS patients with the nonconstipation predominant pattern of IBS and 10 sex- and age-matched healthy volunteers were studied. On day 1, a solid state manometric catheter was positioned in the left colon and connected to a data logger. The subjects then went home. Thereafter they pressed a button on the data logger at the beginning and end of each pain episode. The 24-h manometric signal recorded on day 2 was divided into consecutive 5-min periods. These periods were evaluated for the occurrence of pain and HAPPWs. Fisher's exact test was applied to calculate the probability that HAPPWs and pain episodes were unrelated. The symptom association probability (SAP) was calculated as (1.0 - P) x 100%. A SAP of >95% was considered to indicate that the observed association did not occur by chance. RESULTS: In four of seven patients with pain on day 2, the SAP was >95%. HAPPWs that were related to pain originated at a more proximal level (p = 0.026) and occurred earlier (p = 0.007) than HAPPWs that were not related to pain. The duration of a pain period was correlated with the number of pain-related HAPPWs in that period (r = 0.906, p = 0.013). Two of the 10 healthy subjects experienced pain, and these pain episodes were not associated with HAPPWs. CONCLUSIONS: Using objective analysis techniques, an association between pain episodes and HAPPWs was found in nonconstipated IBS patients with pain. HAPPWs that are associated with pain are only slightly different from HAPPWs not associated with pain.

Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery, Saint-Antoine University Hospital (Assistance Publique-Hopitaux de Paris) and Faculty of Medicine Paris VI, Paris, France.
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to assess functional results after Orr-Loygue transabdominal rectopexy for complete rectal prolapse. METHODS: Thirty-one consecutive patients operated on for complete rectal prolapse between 1995 and 1998 were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively with regard to anal incontinence, constipation, evacuation difficulties, and overall satisfaction with a standardized questionnaire. Anal continence assessment was based on a clinical scoring system. RESULTS: After a mean follow-up of 28 +/- 13 (range, 12-57) months, no prolapse recurred. Preoperative and postoperative rates of incontinence were 81 percent (25/31) and 55 percent (17/31), respectively (P < 0.03). Continence improved in 24 (96 percent) of the 25 patients who were incontinent before surgery. The mean incontinence score decreased from 11.7 +/- 7.8 preoperatively to 3.2 +/- 4.2 postoperatively (P < 0.001). The self-reported constipation rate was 61 percent (19/31) before surgery and 71 percent (22/31) after surgery (P = nonsignificant). Constipation appeared or worsened in 16 patients (52 percent), whereas it disappeared or improved in 8 (26 percent; P = nonsignificant). Evacuation difficulties increased significantly after surgery from 23 percent (7/31) to 61 percent (19/31; P < 0.003). Ninety-seven percent of patients reported good or very good satisfaction. CONCLUSIONS: Transabdominal Orr-Loygue rectopexy resulted in improved continence and a high satisfaction level. Despite a significant postoperative increase in evacuation difficulties, only a 10 percent (nonsignificant) increase in the self-reported constipation rate was observed.
