Abstract
This article examines the pathogenetic relationship between aggressive behavior and gastrointestinal tract diseases observed in adolescents aged 12–18 years. The study involved 240 adolescents divided into three groups according to their level of aggression. The influence of psychoemotional stress and aggression on the development of gastrointestinal diseases was characterized through neuroendocrine and immunological mechanisms. The results showed that adolescents with high aggression scores had significantly higher rates of functional dyspepsia (p<0.001), irritable bowel syndrome (p<0.01), and gastroesophageal reflux disease (p<0.05). A comprehensive biopsychosocial approach is emphasized as a necessary condition for effective prevention and treatment in this age group.
