Key clinical point: Disgust sensitivity may act as a potential trigger or predisposition factor for irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), particularly in women.
Major finding: Disgust sensitivity was positively correlated with IBS (correlation coefficient [r] 0.251; P = .014), with the correlation being significant in women (P = .021) but not in men (P = .505). No correlation was observed between IBS and disgust propensity (P = .911) or total disgust score (P = .115).
Study details: This study included 105 healthy participants who completed the Disgust Propensity and Sensitivity Scale-Revised, IBS-Quality of Life Measure, and Chronic Urticaria-Quality of Life Measure questionnaires.
Disclosures: This study did not receive any funding. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
