Core Tip	This topic is aimed to explore the potential mechanisms responsible for the association between gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) and obesity, that remain to be fully elucidated. Despite numerous evidence that show an increased risk of GERD symptom and/or complication in obese patients, the interplay between GERD and obesity is not clear. Based on the literature we have tried to summarize the evidence concerning the role of obesity in the GERD pathogenesis to better understand the possible role of weight loss as a therapeutic approach for this disease.
