What this trial studies

This cross-sectional study aims to determine how widespread functional dyspepsia is in a rural population of Bangladesh. Participants aged 18 and older will be screened with the Rome IV questionnaire and then undergo upper GI endoscopy to exclude organic diseases, confirming functional dyspepsia in those with normal endoscopy. Demographic, lifestyle, and dietary data will be collected to identify potential risk factors and baseline burden. The results will provide community-level prevalence estimates to inform healthcare planning. No interventions are administered; the study is observational in nature.
