- Brief Summary
Obesity is a strong risk factor for GERD. This study assessed the role of obesity among patients having erosive GERD and controls.
- Detailed Description
A case control study of patients with erosive GERD. Patients with erosive GERD who had upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy were graded using the Los Angeles classification. Patients and controls had measurements of body mass index (BMI), WC (waist circumference), Waist hip ratio (WHR), and hip circumference (HC).
