 The research objective was to study the prevalence of IBS in children with abdominal pain syndrome and the family risk factors. Methods. The study included 218 children and adolescents (4-17 y.o.), of which 126 girls (57.8 %) and 92 boys (42.2 %). The average age of the patients was 11.3 ± 1.7 years. For the diagnosis of IBS, the Roman criteria for the IV revision were used. Results. The number of patients with IBS corresponding to Roman criteria IV among the examined patients was 46 (21.1 %), IBS with constipation was the predominant subtype (60.8 %) (p <0.0001). Among the patients, the following complaints predominated: back pain, headache and chronic fatigue were significantly higher in the IBS group. Prevalence of IBS among parents was higher for a group of patients with IBS than for patients in the comparison group (p <0.0001). Conclusions. IBS is a fairly common disease among children and adolescents and its development is closely related to family risk factors.
