| Core Tip |
Despite widespread beliefs that there are a number of potential risk factors for constipation in the community, this review highlights the paucity of real-world evidence for most factors. It is unclear whether most factors are associated with constipation because, apart from female gender, physical activity, residential location and some health-related factors, there is insufficient evidence or conflicting data available. Further research is required in community-dwelling adult populations to understand the importance of each potential risk factor in constipation. A broad range of factors should be investigated in same population samples using multivariate analysis to determine which factors are truly associated with constipation in the community. |
