Abstract

Functional dyspepsia (FD) is a common condition, affecting adults in both Western (North America and Europe) and Eastern (Asian) parts of the globe. The prevalence has been reported to range from 5% to 40%, largely due to variation from definition criteria and geographical location. Recent published reports in Western and Eastern populations separately indicate that differences in the epidemiology and clinical patterns of FD may exist. Such differences will have implications for the clinical management of and healthcare strategizing for FD at the local level.
