Intestinal Transit in Rural and Urban Population of Greece

O.N. Manousos, Annett Nicolaou, A. Zografos, D. Trichopoulos, G. Merikas · 2009 · Digestion

Summary. This study measured intestinal transit times and stool weights in urban Athens residents and rural Greek villagers. Rural residents showed significantly faster transit times and heavier daily stools than urban dwellers. The researchers attribute these differences to dietary patterns, with urban populations consuming more refined foods, which may explain varying rates of bowel disease between rural and urban Greece.
