    This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing research on the association between pediatric constipation and growth in children. The analysis found that children with functional constipation had a higher mean BMI and BMI z-score, as well as higher rates of overweight/obesity and lower rates of undernutrition compared to control groups. Subgroup analyses also showed lower rates of normal weight and higher rates of short stature among children with constipation.

    What is known

    Functional constipation is common in children and accounts for 95% of cases.

    Functional constipation greatly impacts a child’s well-being and growth and causes adverse effects
    on the quality of life of the child and parents.

    Chronic constipation may associate with poor growth or obesity in children.

    What is new

    A new study is conducted to provide an updated systematic review related to the association
    between paediatrics constipation and growth in children.
