Hence it is now high time to carry out another study to see the prevalence of dyspepsia in Bangladesh and the risk factors associated with it. However, associated risk factors were not assessed and definition of dyspepsia was much narrower as well as the dysmotility type dyspepsia was not included in that study. The last study was done in 1987 in a rural community and the prevalence of dyspepsia was found to be 41.4%.
Till date the prevalence of dyspepsia in Bangladesh has not been studied much. The most widely applied definition of dyspepsia is the Rome working team formulation namely chronic or recurrent pain or discomfort centered in the upper abdomen. ৭.Dyspepsia is a symptom complex that includes epigastric pain, post-prandial fullness, bloating, early satiety, belching, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, acid regurgitations and anorexia.
