A study was conducted to find a relationship between dietary habits, and the occurrence of hemorrhoid disease in young Ivoirians’ population. A descriptive and analytical cross-sectional survey in which 1228 students were enrolled was carried out at the Félix Houphouët-Boigny University (UFHB) in Côte d'Ivoire. Respondents had a mean age of 22.5 years. The results revealed a prevalence of hemorrhoids of 39.7% strongly correlated with a consumption, three times and more per week, of red meat, protein-oilseed, spicy foods and five or more times a week of sweet or milky foods or foods containing eggs and soft drinks all associated with a consumption of less than 1 liter of water per day. In addition, this study has confirmed the results of a previous study of the kind reported by Amoikon et al. (2016), and identified other dietary habits that can cause hemorrhoids in young Ivoirians’ population.
