Résumé
Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) are one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in children. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of FAPDs in children in southern Anhui Province, China and their association with academic stress. In this cross-sectional survey, we randomly selected children aged 6-17 years from 11 public schools in southern Anhui Province. FAPDs were diagnosed according to the Rome IV criteria, and a custom-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the association between academic stress and FAPDs in children. A total of 2,344 children aged 6-17 years were enrolled. The mean age was 12.4 ± 3.0 years. Of these children, 335 (14.3%) were diagnosed with FAPDs according to the Rome IV criteria. Among the children with FAPDs, 156 (46.6%) were boys, and 179 (53.4%) were girls. The prevalence was higher in girls than in boys. The most common disorder was irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (n = 182 (7.8%)). Other types of FAPDs included functional abdominal pain-not otherwise specified (FAPNOS) (n = 70 (3.0%)), functional dyspepsia (FD) (n = 55 (2.3%)), and abdominal migraine (AM) (n = 28 (1.2%)). Academic stress, not meeting parental expectations, poor relationships with parents, and sleep disturbances were independent risk factors for FAPDs in children; academic performance was not associated with the development of FAPDs. There was a high prevalence of FAPDs among children in southern Anhui Province, China, and IBS was the most common subtype of functional abdominal pain. Academic stress, rather than academic performance, was associated with FAPDs in children.

BACKGROUND
Functional abdominal pain disorders (FAPDs) are one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders in children. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of FAPDs in children in southern Anhui Province, China and their association with academic stress.
METHODS
In this cross-sectional survey, we randomly selected children aged 6-17 years from 11 public schools in southern Anhui Province. FAPDs were diagnosed according to the Rome IV criteria, and a custom-designed questionnaire was used to investigate the association between academic stress and FAPDs in children.
RESULTS
A total of 2,344 children aged 6-17 years were enrolled. The mean age was 12.4 ± 3.0 years. Of these children, 335 (14.3%) were diagnosed with FAPDs according to the Rome IV criteria. Among the children with FAPDs, 156 (46.6%) were boys, and 179 (53.4%) were girls. The prevalence was higher in girls than in boys. The most common disorder was irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (n = 182 (7.8%)). Other types of FAPDs included functional abdominal pain-not otherwise specified (FAPNOS) (n = 70 (3.0%)), functional dyspepsia (FD) (n = 55 (2.3%)), and abdominal migraine (AM) (n = 28 (1.2%)). Academic stress, not meeting parental expectations, poor relationships with parents, and sleep disturbances were independent risk factors for FAPDs in children; academic performance was not associated with the development of FAPDs.
CONCLUSION
There was a high prevalence of FAPDs among children in southern Anhui Province, China, and IBS was the most common subtype of functional abdominal pain. Academic stress, rather than academic performance, was associated with FAPDs in children.
