Objectives: To assess the association between specific toilet training (TT) behaviors and functional constipation (FC) in young, healthy children.

Parents were given questions regarding their child's TT and TT-related behaviors such as stool toileting refusal (STR), hiding, and requesting a diaper for defecation, along with questions about current stool issues, which involved assessing stool consistency using the Bristol Stool Chart.
