Core Tip This study investigated gastric motility in a cohort of Sri Lankan office workers, focusing on its associations with body mass index, adiposity, and metabolic indicators. Males showed significantly larger fasting antral areas, while in females, gastric motility was more closely linked to measures of adiposity and lipid profiles. These findings underscore the influence of metabolic status, particularly lipid metabolism, on gastric motor function, with notable sex-specific patterns. The results provide new insights into the potential impact of metabolic derangements on gastrointestinal physiology and support early identification of individuals at risk for motility disorders.
