Study finds minimal difference in farting frequency between men and women

A study published in JAMA Network Open investigated whether men or women fart more frequently, using devices to track gaseous activity and a smartphone app called "Chart Your Fart." Participants wore devices inserted anally for an average of 10 days, resulting in over 360,000 recorded "outputs." The study found that, on average, men had slightly more recorded farts per day (5.2) than women (4.8), but the difference was minimal, with significant overlap in the data ranges. The peak time for recorded farts was between 6 PM and 10 PM, likely correlating with after-dinner eating habits. AI
