Distribution of equalized mean adherence score to mediterranean diet in CNT, functional dyspepsia and irritable bowel syndrome stratifying for age clusters. In the 17-24 years and 25-34 years groups both FD and IBS exhibited significantly lower mean adherence score compared to CNT. In the 35-49 years group only IBS patients exhibited a significantly lower mean score compared to CNT. No differences were observed in other age categories (data ± SEM are shown). FD: Functional dyspepsia; IBS: Irritable bowel syndrome.
