A multi-stage sampling technique was used to select a total of 696 students from four secondary schools. Data were collected using a specifically designed questionnaire, the ROME IV questionnaire (QPGS-IV), and analyzed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 24.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The mean age of the adolescents was 13.6\u2009\u00b1\u20092.1. A total of 221 (31.8%) adolescents fulfilled the criteria for at least one of the FGIDs. The most common FGIDs were functional constipation (10.1%), functional dyspepsia (9.4%) and abdominal migraine (8.6%). There was no significant difference in the overall prevalence of FGIDs between age groups (p\u2009=\u20090.07) and genders (p\u2009=\u20090.949). However, the prevalence of FGID sub-types showed that abdominal migraine, irritable bowel syndrome and functional non-retentive fecal incontinence were significantly higher in the age group 10\u201312\u2009years (p\u2009=\u20090.045, p\u2009=\u20090.029 and p\u2009=\u20090.027, respectively) while only functional vomiting was significantly higher in male compared to female (p\u2009=\u20090.038).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>FGIDs are common among adolescents in Lagos, Nigeria.
