We aimed to review the published literature regarding the epidemiology of constipation in the general paediatric and adult population and to assess its geographic, gender and age distribution, and associated factors. A search of the Medline database was performed. Study selection criteria included: (1) studies of population-based samples; (2) containing data on the prevalence of constipation without obvious organic aetiology; (3) in paediatric, adult or elderly population; (4) published in English and full manuscript form. Sixty-eight studies met our inclusion criteria. The prevalence of constipation in the worldwide general population ranged from 0.7% to 79% (median 16%). The epidemiology of constipation in children was investigated in 19 articles and prevalence rate was between 0.7% and 29.6% (median 12%). Female gender, increasing age, socioeconomic status and educational level seemed to affect constipation prevalence.
我们旨在回顾有关普通儿科和成年人群中便秘流行病学的已发表文献，并评估其地理、性别和年龄分布以及相关因素。我们对 Medline 数据库进行了检索。研究选择标准包括：（1）基于人群的样本研究；（2）包含无明显器质性病因的便秘患病率数据；（3）在儿科、成人或老年人群中；（4）以英文发表并提供全文。符合纳入标准的研究有 68 项。全世界普通人群中便秘的患病率范围为 0.7%至 79%（中位数为 16%）。有 19 篇文章研究了儿童便秘的流行病学，患病率在 0.7%至 29.6%（中位数为 12%）之间。女性性别、年龄增长、社会经济地位和教育水平似乎影响便秘的患病率。
