| Core Tip |
Obesity is an increasing problem worldwide. Few studies have reported on the association between gastroesophageal reflux symptoms and body mass index (BMI). We aimed to determine the effects of BMI on gastroesophageal reflux using esophageal pH-impedance technique in asymptomatic overweight and obese subjects. We found that BMI is positively correlated with acid reflux. Our study demonstrated that obesity is a risk factor for gastroesophageal reflux even in an asymptomatic healthy individuals. These findings are important for the obese population who are referred for bariatric surgery. Gastroesophageal reflux should be evaluated carefully before surgery, even in the absence of symptoms. |
