| Core Tip |
Gastro-esophageal reflux disease is a serious health problem leading to a decrease in the quality of life. This study determines the effect of reflux symptoms, stress and body mass index (BMI) on the quality of life measured by a 36-item Short Form Health Survey. We prove that in patients with gastro-esophageal reflux, stress decrease the quality of life in a higher degree than the frequency of reflux symptoms. Age and increasing BMI result in a decrease in physical functioning. Therefore, the patient’s level of stress should be considered in the diagnosis and therapy, as well as an assessment of the progress of treatment. |
