The Relationship Between Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Metabolic Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of 49,662 Individuals

20254 citationsOpen accessAlexandria University

Abstract

This analysis indicates a potential association between IBS and metabolic syndrome, including its components such as obesity, hypertension, and lipid profile abnormalities. However, significant heterogeneity among studies limits the generalisability of these findings. Clinicians should remain aware of the possible link and consider individualised preventive and management strategies.
