Summary: | Obesity increases gastroesophageal reflux disease through several factors. As a result, Barrett's esophagus, esophageal adenocarcinoma, and gastroesophageal junctional gastric cancer are increasing. Existing studies usually defined obesity by body mass index and analyzed the correlation. Recently, more studies have shown that central obesity is a more important variable in upper gastrointestinal diseases related to gastroesophageal reflux. Studies have reported that weight loss is effective in reducing gastroesophageal reflux symptoms. Obesity also affects functional gastrointestinal diseases. A significant correlation was shown in upper abdominal pain, reflux, vomiting, and diarrhea rather than lower abdominal diseases. (Korean J Gastroenterol 2024;83:81-86) |
