Core Tip	A cross-sectional, case control study of subjects who underwent upper endoscopy during a health examination was conducted. Metabolic syndrome components, body mass index, liver function, and dyslipidemia were compared between individuals with and without erosive esophagitis. Risk factors for erosive esophagitis were evaluated. Erosive esophagitis was diagnosed in 507 of 5015 subjects who were individually age- and sex-matched to 507 esophagitis-free control subjects. In addition to metabolic syndrome, we also found that abnormal liver function and predictors of future coronary heart disease were associated with erosive esophagitis.
