In this study, we planned to investigate the relationship between FC and its related factors for in older outpatients.\n\nPatients and methods: Participants aged 65 and over who applied to the geriatrics outpatient were included in the study. The diagnosis of FC was made according to the presence of the Rome IV criteria. Frailty was screened by the using FRAIL scale, \u2265 3 a score of were evaluated as frail. Participants quality of life was evaluated by Euro-Quality of Life Visual Analog Scale (EQ-VAS).\n\nResults: The study included 602 participants. FC prevalence was found 28.7%. In univariate analyses, FC was found related to age, having a diagnosis of depression or Parkinson diseases, frailty, urinary incontinence, sleep disorders, number of chronic diseases, and EQ-VAS. In multivariate analyses, FC was not found to be associated by the frailty while the number of chronic diseases [OR=1.212, 95%CI (1.084-1.355), p=0.001] and EQ-VAS were found to be related [OR=0.988, 95%CI (0.978-0.997), p=0.012].\n\nConclusion: In the results of this study, FC was not found to be associated by frailty in older outpatients but it emerged as a syndrome that should be screened frequently in patients with a high number of chronic diseases and a low general quality of life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.51821\/87.3.12949","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,30]],"date-time":"2024-10-30T15:10:42Z","timestamp":1730301042000},"page":"361-365","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Investigation of the prevalence of functional constipation and its related factors for in older outpatients"],"prefix":"10.51821","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"M","family":"Esra Bozkurt","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Erdogan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Z","family":"Fetullahoglu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Ozkok","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"C","family":"Kilic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"G","family":"Bahat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Akif Karan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"27062","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref0","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","unstructured":"EMMANUEL A., MATTACE-RASO F., NERI MC., PETERSEN KU., REY E., ROGERS J.
