Abstract
El estreñimiento crónico es una trastorno digestivo muy recurrente que, a pesar de no ser letal, sí tiene importantes repercusiones sobre la calidad de vida y el sistema sanitario. Su prevalencia en países occidentales es del 2 al 27%, lo que lo convierte en un problema de salud pública. El estreñimiento cursa con una frecuencia deposicional inferior a la normal, esfuerzo excesivo, sensación de evacuación completa, sensación de obstrucción y heces duras. Es más común en mujeres que en varones y en personas mayores. En la mujer, factores como la paridad, alteraciones hormonales, la presencia de otras dolencias intestinales, estrés, ansiedad y depresión favorecen la aparición de esta dolencia. Tradicionalmente, el tratamiento no farmacológico del estreñimiento se basa en tres pilares: la ingesta de fibra, un adecuado aporte hídrico y una actividad física adecuadas.

Su composición rica en fibra y antioxidantes la convierten en una opción dietética adecuada para el tratamiento del estreñimiento, pero no se han hecho estudios evaluando su papel en el estreñimiento crónico...
Chronic constipation is a frequent gastrointestinal disorder that, even though is not detrimental, has important repercussions over people’s quality of life and represents an economic burden to the healthcare system. Its prevalence ranges between 2 to 27% in western countries, making it a public health issue. Constipation is characterized by a lower depositional frequency, excessive strain, incomplete evacuation feeling, obstruction sensation and hard stools. It is more common in women and aging people. In women, multiple factors such as parity, hormonal alterations, the presence of other gastrointestinal disorders, stress, anxiety and depression favor the onset of constipation. Traditionally, non pharmacological treatment for constipation rests in three pillars: adequate fiber intake, water consumption, and physical activity. Nevertheless, there is limited evidence about the efficacy of these recommendations. Nowadays, the Mediterranean diet has become increasingly popular due to its benefits for cardiovascular health. Its high amount of fiber and antioxidants present this diet as a suitable option for the treatment of this ailment, but there is no research regarding this association...
