Regression analysis between IBS symptom score and anthropometric, nutritional and inflammatory variables.
| Parameters | β | Std. Error (β) | p | 95% CI |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FODMAP content | 10.28 | 4.46 | 0.042 | 1.54–19.02 |
| BMI | 87.83 | 20.15 | 0.001 | 48.33–127.33 |
| COX-2 | 34.04 | 10.73 | 0.009 | 13.01–51.07 |
| AA/EPA ratio | 4.17 | 1.55 | 0.021 | 1.13–7.21 |
All variables were calculated as the difference before and after treatment. Linear regression analysis was performed, considering the IBS-SSS as the dependent variable and the other variables as independent variables. BMI: body mass index; COX-2: cyclooxygenase-2; AA/EPA ratio: arachidonic acid to eicosapentaenoic acid ratio.
