AIM:To investigate the symptom presentation and quality of life in obese Chinese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).METHODS:Data from patients diagnosed with GERD according to the Montreal definition,were collected between January 2009 to March 2010.The enrolled patients were assigned to the normal [body mass index (BMI) ＜ 25 kg/m2],overweight (25-30 kg/m2),and obese (BMI ＞ 30 kg/m2) groups.General demographic data,endoscopic findings,and quality of life of the three groups of patients were analyzed and compared.RESULTS:Among the 173 enrolled patients,102,56and 15 patients were classified in the normal,overweight,and obese,respectively.There was significantly more erosive esophagitis (73.3％ vs 64.3％ vs 39.2％,P =0.002),hiatal hernia (60％ vs 33.9％ vs 16.7％,P=0.001),and males (73.3％ vs 73.2％ vs 32.4％,P =0.001) in the obese cases.The severity and frequency of heartburn,not acid regurgitation,was positively correlated with BMI,with a significant association in men,but not in women.Obese patients were prone to have low quality of life scores,with obese women having the lowest scores for mental health.CONCLUSION:In patients with GERD,obese men had the most severe endoscopic and clinical presentation.Obese women had the poorest mental health.
