Core Tip	The overall pooled prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) was 8.7% in China. The prevalence was higher in the west and east than in the centre, and there may be a local spatial autocorrelation between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the southeast. GERD was correlated with gastric and oesophageal tumours in spatial distribution.
