Aussie Study Maps Daily Gas: 2–7 Farts per Person, Men Fart More
An Australian study of 6,416 adults tracked 360,192 fart events via the Chart Your Fart app and found most people fart 2–7 times daily, with men averaging 5.2 and women 4.8. Farting peaks occur in the morning, after lunch, and near bedtime. The self‑reported data establish a population baseline for GI health and may inform IBS or dietary research, though social norms could influence who reports farts more often.
