Úprava životního stylu pro zlepšení úzkosti a deprese u pacientů se syndromem dráždivého tračníku
Cíl: Cílem této studie bylo vyhodnotit příznivé účinky úpravy životního stylu a stravování na závažnost příznaků, kvalitu života, úzkost a depresi u pacientů se syndromem dráždivého tračníku (IBS). Metody: Do tohoto klinického intervenčního hodnocení byli zahrnuti pacienti s IBS ve věku od 15 do 65 let, kteří byli odesláni na gastroenterologickou kliniku nemocnice Taleghani Hospital v Teheránu v Iránu od března 2020 do srpna 2020. Po úvodním vyšetření byla provedena úprava životního stylu. Statistická analýza byla provedena v softwaru SPSS. Výsledky: Do této studie bylo zařazeno 55 pacientů s IBS, z nichž 27 bylo mužů a 28 žen. Střední skóre úzkosti pacientů (na základě BAI) a střední skóre deprese (na základě BDI) se po úpravě životního stylu a stravy významně snížilo v porovnání s výchozí hodnotou. Výchozí hodnota středního skóre kvality života pacientů (na základě IBS-QOL) 68,36 ± 24,90 se po intervenci statisticky významně zvýšila na hodnotu 82,75 ± 29,52 (p < 0,001). Obdobně došlo po úpravě životního stylu a stravování ke statisticky významnému snížení středního skóre závažnosti příznaků IBS (na základě IBS-SSS) z výchozí hodnoty 28,29 ± 8,27 na 20,87 ± 8,47 (p < 0,001). Závěr: Naše poznatky naznačují, že úprava životního stylu a stravování může u pacientů s IBS představovat snadnou a účinnou léčbu, neboť má příznivý a významný vliv na zmírnění závažnosti příznaků, zlepšení kvality života a zmírnění příznaků úzkosti a deprese.

Summary
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the beneficial effects of lifestyle modification and dietary intervention on the severity of symptoms, quality of life, anxiety and depression status in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Methods: In this clinical interventional trial study, patients aged 15 to 65 years with IBS (based on the ROME IV criteria) who were referred to the gastrointestinal clinic of Taleghani hospital, Tehran, Iran between March 2020 and August 2020 were included. After initial evaluation, lifestyle modification intervention was performed. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software. Results: In the present study, 55 patients consisting in 27 men and 28 women with IBS were included. The patients‘ mean anxiety score (based on BAI) and mean depression score (based on BDI) were significantly reduced after lifestyle and diet modification intervention as compared to the baseline. The mean score of the patients‘ quality of life (based on IBS-QOL) was 68.36 ±24.90 before the intervention, which increased to 82.75 ±29.52 after the intervention, indicating a significant difference (P <0.001). Similarly, the mean score of severity of IBS symptoms (based on IBS-SSS) was 28.29 ±8.27 before the intervention, which was reduced to 20.87 ±8.47 after the intervention with a significant difference (P <0.001). Conclusion: Our findings suggest that lifestyle and dietary modification might be a feasible and effective treatment approach in patients with IBS, which has a positive and significant effect on amelioration of the severity of symptoms, improving the quality of life as well as alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Introduction
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a functional disorder of the large intestine [1]. The tenth version of ICD classifies it as a functional disorder and the eleventh version as a physical stress disorder. Patients with irritable bowel syndrome can have a variety of symptoms such as distention, bloating and abdominal pain, as well as changes in bowel habits such as constipation or diarrhoea [2]. The prevalence of IBS varies between 1% and 45% – probably due to the use of different diagnostic criteria. Its global average prevalence is 11.2% [3], which reflects its 10% to 20% prevalence in Western countries [4]. We can diagnose IBS worldwide using Roman criteria (last revised in 2016 and renamed Rome IV). These criteria are for patients who have had recurrent abdominal pain at least once a week for the past 3 months [5]. In addition, it is necessary to consider two of the following three criteria: [1] these complaints are related to defecation [2], the frequency of defecation changes and [3] the consistency of the stool changes [2]. According to Roman IV criteria, IBS can fall into four different subgroups. IBS-D (diarrhoea): More than 25% of the stool is liquid and has no solid components, less than 25% of which are solid components. IBS-C (constipation): More than 25% of the stool contains separate solid pieces and less than 25% of which is liquid and has no solid components. IBS-M (mixture): More than 25% of the stool is liquid and has no solid components and more than 25% of the stool contains separate solid pieces. IBS-U (unclassified): the components are not fully assignable [2]. Although the pathophysiology of IBS is not yet fully knowable, several factors appear to be involved in its pathogenesis, including biological, environmental, psychosocial and genetic factors. Lifestyle-related factors such as nutrition, physical activity and stress play a major role in the development of IBS [6–8]. Observational studies have shown that certain food groups such as wheat-based cereals, dairy products, fatty, spicy and processed foods, coffee and alcohol, and low consumption of vegetables, legumes and fruits may be associated with IBS symptoms [9–12]. Moreover, irregular eating patterns and not eating the main meals are associated with IBS [10,13]. One of the strongest risk factors of developing IBS is acute infectious gastroenteritis including viral, bacterial and protozoal gastroenteritis. This condition is called post-infection IBS. Intolerance to oligo, di- and monosaccharides, polyols (FODMAPs) and gluten can also mimic the symptoms of IBS, 21 discoveries that led to a diet with low FODMAP [14,15]. In addition, soluble fibre is supposedly effective in treating IBS patients, especially those with constipation [16]. In contrast, insoluble fibre can exacerbate the symptoms of IBS [17]. Although probiotics have been effective in treating IBS [18], the effects of some specific strains have not been well provable [16]. Several studies have reported that high physical activity is effective in improving IBS symptoms [8,19,20]. While smoking is also recognised as a contributing factor in creating IBS [21], the association between smoking and IBS is controversial. [22] Some psychological characteristics, especially distraction, depression, anxiety and somatisation are strongly associated with IBS [10,13,23,24]. This study evaluates the positive effects of lifestyle modification and dietary change on the severity of symptoms, quality of life, anxiety and depression in patients with irritable bowel syndrome.
Methods
In this clinical interventional trial study, patients aged 15 to 65 years with IBS (based on the ROME IV criteria) who were referred to the gastrointestinal clinic of Taleghani Hospital, Tehran, Iran between March 2020 and August 2020 were included. Patients undergoing psychiatric treatment and those who did not follow the study treatment protocol were excluded from our intervention. Following the collection of baseline characteristics including demographics, medical history, socioeconomic data, history of smoking or alcohol use, physical activity and nutritional habits, the patients were assessed by the following questionnaires: 1. IBS-SSS: this 5-question survey measures the severity of IBS including abdominal pain, frequency of abdominal pain, severity of abdominal distention, dissatisfaction with bowel habits and interference with quality of life over the past 10 days. 2. IBS-QOL: This scale measures the level of quality of life. The participant’s responses to the 34 items are summed and averaged for a total score. There are also eight subscale scores for the IBS-QOL (Dysphoria, Interference with Activity, Body Image, Health Worry, Food Avoidance, Social Reaction, Sexual, Relationships). 3. Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI): this self-report 21-question questionnaire evaluates the anxiety status. The questions measure common symptoms of anxiety that participants experienced during the past week (including the day of taking it) (such as numbness and tingling, sweating not due to heat and fear of the worst happening). The BAI contains 21 questions, each answer being scored on a scale value of 0 (not at all) to 3 (severely); higher total scores indicate more severe anxiety symptoms. 4. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI): the depression status was evaluated by the BDI, which is a 21-question multiple-choice self-report inventory. The value of every item in between 0–3 and a high score shows high depression.
After initial evaluation, lifestyle modification intervention was performed. (Interventions include: Adequate physical activity training as 150 minutes per week – medium speed walking – no smoking or alcohol, and low-FODMAP diet by nutrition and psychology consultants). After an intervention period of 2 months, patients who complied with the statement of a first-degree family member who followed the low-FODMAP lifestyle modification intervention were re-evaluated with the above questionnaires. The exercise protocol was taught by a particular brochure and pamphlets. We also had some experts whom the patients could contact in case of any questions. Since all of the patients joined this study group as volunteers they were truly motivated themselves and there was no need for us to provide motivation for them
The study endpoint was to evaluate the effect of intervention on quality of life, anxiety and depression in these patients (Scheme 1). This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (ethical code: IR.sbmu.msp.rec.1397.333).
For statistical analysis, the results were presented as mean ± standard deviation (SD) for quantitative variables and were summarised by frequency (percentage) for categorical variables. To assess the change in scores of the study quantitative parameters, a paired t test or Wilcoxon test was employed. P values of ≤0.05 were considered statistically significant. For the statistical analysis, the statistical software SPSS version 23.0 for Windows (IBM, Armonk, New York) was used.
Results
In the present study, 55 patients consisting of 27 men and 28 women with IBS were included. The mean age of patients was 35.56 ±11.61 years, ranging from 15 to 65 years. The mean BMI and the mean number of family members were 24.56 ±4.40 and 4.69 ±2.0, respectively. Most of the patients included were married (61.8%), had completed their secondary school education (52.7%) and had a monthly paid job (52.7%). The complete data regarding the general characteristics of patients is provided in Tab. 1.
Tab. 2 summarised the basic physical activity and nutritional habits of the patients. On the first evaluation only 27.4% of our patients reported regular weekly exercise, 16.4% of which were about 210 minutes per week. Daily consumption of fruits and vegetables was recorded in 60% and 23.6% of the included patients. Most of the patients mentioned the weekly use of red (72.7%) and barbecued (47.3%) meat in their routine diet. The majority of the patients also declared that they did not routinely eat any processed food (54.5%)
As shown in Tab. 3, the patients‘ mean anxiety score (based on BAI) and mean depression score (based on BDI) significantly reduced after lifestyle and diet modification intervention as compared to the baseline. In this regard, the frequency of severe anxiety before and after intervention was 20.0% and 12.7%, respectively, while the prevalence of depression was also 16.4% and 9.1%, respectively (Fig. 1, 2). The mean score of the patients‘ quality of life (based on IBS-QOL) was 68.36 ±24.90 before the intervention, which increased to 82.75 ±29.52 after the intervention, indicating a significant difference (P <0.001). Similarly, the mean score of severity of IBS symptoms (based on IBS-SSS) was 28.29 ±8.27 before the intervention, which was reduced to 20.87 ±8.47 after the intervention with a significant difference (P <0.001).
Discussion
The first common treatment option is lifestyle modification. These modifications include regular exercise, reducing the beverage intake, changing the diet, avoiding alcohol and coffee and regulating sleep. In most cases, physical activity has been an initial treatment for IBS patients. This results from the studies examining the benefits of physical activity for IBS. Recently, a randomised controlled trial (RCT) involving 102 patients with IBS proved that people belonging to the physical activity group showed fewer symptoms of IBS than those in the control group [25]. This is consistent with our results on the significant reduction in the severity of symptoms after lifestyle modification. Other studies have also shown that physical activity can improve the patient‘s mood and symptoms of fatigue, bloating and abdominal pain. Regular physical activity can improve bowel movements in patients with chronic constipation [26–28].
On the other hand, our results were consistent with a meta-analysis of seven RCTs involving adults with IBS, as they showed that low-FODMAP diets were associated with reduced overall symptoms of IBS compared to control diets (alternative diets, high-FODMAP diets, daily diets or placebos). The persistence of IBS symptoms was 43.2% vs. 61.6%, respectively, and RR = 0.7, 95% CI: 0.5– –0.9) [29]. In an RCT conducted by Zahedi et al, after 6 weeks patients with IBS-D randomly assigned to a low-FODMAP diet (55 people) observed an improvement in abdominal pain intensity (P = 0.001), frequency of pain (P = 0.02), abdominal distention (P <0.001), dissatisfaction with intestinal function (P = 0.001) and interference with daily life (P = 0.005) [30]. Moreover, a diet with low-FODMAP compared to the modified diet (recommended by the National Institutes of Health and Care Excellence) during a 4-week RCT on 84 patients with IBS-D (Aswaran et al) improved the baseline quality of life scores [31]. A higher percentage of patients on a diet with low-FODMAP after 4 weeks (52% vs. 21%, respectively; 95% CI: –0.52 to –0.08) received a clinical response (i.e. at least a 14% improvement in the baseline score of quality of life) [31]. Taken together, these data suggest that following a low-FODMAP diet may be a reasonable dietary approach for patients with IBS-D. Although there is no definitive treatment plan for IBS-D, this is often the first intervention by primary care providers and gastroenterologists. In addition, we should note that many gluten-containing foods with high-FODMAP are in consideration. The prevalence of anxiety (23%) and depressive disorders (23.3%) in IBS patients has been considerable as reported. Moreover, researchers have found that patients with IBS are prone to comorbid psychiatric disorders compared to those in the control group [32]. Recently, a meta-analysis found that IBS patients with symptoms of constipation had the highest rates of depression (38%) and anxiety (40%).
The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) recommends less exercise for the treatment of IBS symptoms, although this recommendation is based on limited data and appropriate clinical trials are necessary [33]. A meta-analysis of various types of exercise (such as yoga, walking, cycling, swimming and running) reported improvement in gastrointestinal symptoms, quality of life and anxiety in patients with IBS (683 patients). These studies differed in terms of patient demographic characteristics, study design and size, and limit the generalisation of results [34]. Our study showed a significant improvement in quality of life and the severity of IBS symptoms, as well as anxiety and depression scores. In this study, several mechanisms may help improve the patients‘ symptom severity and quality of life after regular exercise. Physical and psychological factors are probably influential. The role of physical factors may be that due to increased physical activity, increased gas and faeces are discharged from the intestines, which may be associated with improved IBS symptoms [35]. Dainese et al (2004) showed that moderate physical activity reduced gas discharge time and abdominal distention in healthy individuals [36]. Intestinal-brain interaction may also be a psychological factor in the results of the current study. Thus, stress intensifies the neuroendocrine response and visceral perception [37], while physical activity neutralises the effects of stress [38]. By facilitating the production, adaptation and protective processes of the central nervous system, physical activity may have a positive effect on the gut-brain axis involved in IBS [38]. On the other hand, increased cardiopulmonary capacity and physical activity lead to less depression and more happiness [39]. Physical activity supposedly reduces the visceral blood flow, increases gastrointestinal motility, strengthens the immune system and compresses the gut [40]. Some studies have also shown that physical activity reduces bowel discharge time and eliminates incomplete bowel movements in patients with chronic constipation [41], which is a common symptom in IBS [42]. Therefore, the results of the current study are reasonable; they show an improvement in quality of life and symptom severity in patients with IBS after aerobic exercise.
Our study had some limitations, such as the low number of participants. On the other hand, our study included no control group.
Conclusion
Our findings suggest that lifestyle and dietary modification might be a feasible and effective treatment approach in patients with IBS, which has a positive and significant effect on amelioration of the severity of the symptoms, improving the quality of life as well as alleviating symptoms of anxiety and depression.
