Psychosocial predictors of the number of FGID syndromes: the regression model of best fit
| Psychosocial predictors | Regression coefficient (SE) |
| Personality | |
| Trait anger reactivity | 0.21 (0.023) |
| Neuroticism (stress proneness) | 0.19 (0.027) |
| Coping style | |
| Frequent use of (mature) coping strategies | 0.18 (0.006) |
| Life stressors | |
| Chronic (social stress) threat | 0.16 (0.023) |
| Emotional support | |
| Unavailable or inadequate | 0.15 (0.131) |
| Age | |
| Increasing age | 0.16 (0.005) |
Psychosocial predictors are presented in order of stepwise selection into the model. An increasing score on each dimension was associated with an increase in the number of FGID syndromes. Each predictor variable was significant at p < 0.05 in the final model.
SE, standard error; R2 = 0.21.
