Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGIDs) represent a significant concern in modern gastroenterology due to their high prevalence and negative impact on quality of life, particularly among young adults. Functional dyspepsia, as one of the most common FGIDs, is influenced by multiple factors, including dietary habits, smoking, alcohol consumption, and psychosocial conditions, which are especially relevant in student populations characterized by irregular lifestyles. Despite existing studies, the specific relationship between lifestyle factors and the severity of different clinical variants of functional dyspepsia across stages of student life remains insufficiently explored. This study aims to identify lifestyle characteristics of students that influence the development and severity of functional dyspepsia. The findings revealed that postprandial distress syndrome and epigastric pain syndrome are the main variants, with symptom intensity varying by academic year, and moderate correlations identified between symptom severity and factors such as smoking, anemia, alcohol consumption, late-night eating, and dietary patterns, while fruit and vegetable intake showed a negative correlation. The study provides a comparative analysis of lifestyle-related risk factors across different student groups and links them to specific dyspepsia variants using GSRS and Rome IV criteria. The results highlight the importance of lifestyle modification, including reducing harmful habits and promoting healthy nutrition, as key strategies for prevention and management, while emphasizing the need for targeted health education and further research on broader populations and psychosocial factors.
