The data were obtained using Gastrointestinal Symptoms (GIS) questionnaire, irregular eating behavior questionnaire, and Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire (SQ-FFQ). Nominal variables were analyzed statistically by chi-square test and logistic regression test, numerical variables were analyzed by Mann-Whitney test and linear regression test.

Result. Dyspepsia syndrome is positive in 54.9% of the subject. Seventy-four percent of subjects with irregular eating behavior had dyspepsia, p<0.001, OR 3.58 (CI 95%, 2.05-6.26). Seventy-five percent of subjects with high fat intake had dyspepsia, p= 0.005, OR 2.86 (CI 95%, 1.33-6.15). The median GIS score of the high fat and normal fat intake group are two to one (p=0.005). Median GIS scores of irregular and regular eating behavior groups are two to zero (p<0.001). The coefficient of determination (R2) from multivariate analysis is 0.065.
