The prevalence of constipation, factors associated with constipation and medications prescribed for constipation were analysed. Work productivity and quality of life (QOL) were compared between three subgroups based on constipation status: treated constipation, untreated constipation and no constipation subgroup.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Of the 18\u2009585 respondents in the analysis population, 950 respondents (5.1%) were classified into the treated depression\/anxiety group, 6035 respondents (32.5%) into the untreated depression\/anxiety group and the remaining respondents into the no depression\/anxiety group (11 600 (62.4%)). The prevalence of constipation was 22.5% in the treated group, 22.3% in the untreated group and 10.4% in the no depression\/anxiety group, respectively. Depression and anxiety severity were independently associated with an increased risk of constipation. In all groups, the most commonly prescribed drug class was osmotic laxatives. Work productivity and QOL tended to indicate a greater burden in the untreated constipation subgroup than in the treated or no constipation subgroups.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of constipation was twice as high if workers had depression\/anxiety. Considering that the comorbidity of constipation with mental disorders may increase multiple burdens, appropriate medical interventions are required to treat both mental (depression\/anxiety) and physical (constipation) conditions.
