Obesity is a strong risk factor for GERD. This study assessed the role of obesity among patients having erosive GERD and controls.
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). Bio-data was collected from both groups and data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics. A p value of equal to or less than 0.05 was considered significant.
