Abstract

In an analysis of data from 4676 individuals who completed a Bowel Health Questionnaire from the NHANES, we found a significantly higher proportion of individuals with diarrhea to have fecal urgency. However, most individuals with fecal urgency do not have diarrhea. Factors associated with fecal urgency vary among individuals with and without diarrhea.
