A total of 449 students participated (189 boys, 260 girls aged 14-17), all of them completed the Russian version of the Bowel Disease Questionnaire. Dyspepsia was reported more frequently by girls than boys (27% vs 16%). The prevalence of irritable bowel syndrome defined according to the Rome criteria was 24% in girls and 14% in boys.
