Results : The results of the factor structure or construct validity that used the principal components analysis with varimax rotation was 4 factors of diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, and indigestion in patients with FGID, which showed a 61.53 variance. Among the 6 factors of indigestion, abdominal pain, constipation, diarrhea, hungry pain, and nausea in healthy persons there was a 73.32 variance.
