Core Tip This study reveals how diagnostic criteria and population context significantly influence irritable bowel syndrome prevalence estimates. The Rome IV criteria yield lower rates than Rome III, and psychiatric comorbidity significantly increases disease burden. Although chronic illnesses demonstrate limited impact, trends suggest a role for gut-brain axis dysregulation. These findings emphasize the significance of integrated care and nuanced epidemiological approaches to functional gastrointestinal disorders.
