Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disabling functional gastrointestinal disorder, which serves as a model for abdominal pain syndromes. An association between intimate partner violence and IBS has been shown among White women in the industrialized world. To determine whether this relationship transcends cultural boundaries, we conducted a population-based, cross-sectional survey in Nicaragua using the innovative Health and Demographic Surveillance System in the León province. Women who had experienced physical intimate partner violence had significantly increased risk of IBS (odds ratio [OR] = 2.08; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.35, 3.21), as did those who had experienced sexual intimate partner violence (OR = 2.85; 95% CI = 1.45, 5.59). These findings argue for intimate partner violence screening among Latina women with IBS.
肠易激综合征（IBS）是一种使人丧失能力的功能性胃肠道疾病，是腹痛综合征的典型代表。在工业化国家的白人女性中，已经证明亲密伴侣暴力与 IBS 之间存在关联。为了确定这种关系是否跨越了文化界限，我们在尼加拉瓜莱昂省使用创新的健康和人口监测系统进行了一项基于人群的横断面调查。经历过身体亲密伴侣暴力的女性患 IBS 的风险显著增加（优势比[OR] = 2.08；95%置信区间[CI] = 1.35，3.21），经历过性亲密伴侣暴力的女性也是如此（OR = 2.85；95% CI = 1.45，5.59）。这些发现表明，应对患有 IBS 的拉丁裔女性进行亲密伴侣暴力筛查。
