Fart Report


      On the 4th April 2012, at Lecture Room 3, Block I, Universiti Teknologi Petronas, Malaysia, I posted a questionnaire among my fellow classmates entitled, “do you fart a lot? How many times?” and mostly of the respondents positively to the question.

     There were 29 students present at that time, 28 were local and 1 was an international student, ranging from the age 17 to 20 years old. Most of them are from the engineering courses and the rest are from ICT and BIS. The question was distributed in a circle, where the respondents would respond accordingly to their turns.

    From the results of my research, 52% of the students responded yes to the questionnaire and some of them even provide the reasons why they do so. Some mention when they have a stomach-ache or when they consume too much food. 14% said no, this is probably due to their high metabolism, meaning they can digest food perfectly. %3 didn’t understand the question and I couldn’t seem to clarify why they didn’t understand the questionnaire. The question was fairly simple. 10% gave irrelevant answers; probably they didn’t quite get the question which requiring them to only give a simple yes or no. 21% responded “sometimes.”

     Thus, in order for them who fart a lot to lessen the gas released, should eat food that could make digestion easier and reduce consuming any gassy food or beverages.
