Prevalence and trigger factors of functional gastrointestinal disorders among male civil pilots in China

Abstract Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) are common among the aircrew due to their arduous working environment. This study investigated the prevalence of FGIDs in Chinese male pilots and assessed the effects of trigger factors on the FGIDs. A cross-sectional study including 212 male pi...
