The primary objective of this study is to compare the BIA parameters, including Phase Angle, Fat Free Mass and Fat Mass, between women with functional dyspepsia and healthy women. All woman will undergo a bio-electrical impedance monitoring for this.

Enrollment: 40 estimated patients

Sex: Female

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
