“…In our study, the sex-ratio was 0.98 for GERD patient. These results are similar to the female predominance found in most studies: Mansour-Ghanaei et al [23]: 0.44; Lohoues-Kouacou et al [17]: 0.86; Sogbossi et al [19]: 0.52; Batakou et al [22]: 0.61. However, there was no statistically significant relationship between gender and the occurrence of typical GERD in our study.…”

“…This result is almost identical to that reported by Ntagirabiri et al [11] in 2013 in a study carried out on a population of consultants in Bujumbura (34.7%). This prevalence is high, compared to those obtained by some authors: 14.5% found by Lohoues-Kouacou et al [17] in a general population studyin Abidjan; 24.8% reported by Ben Chaabane et al [8] during a study in patients received for general medicine consultation in Monastir; 24.86% found by Sogbossi [19] in 2014 in digestive endoscopy units in Cotonou.…”

“…Subjects under 60 years of age were the most affected (p = 0.005). This association (typical GERD-age) was not found in Iran [23], Côte d'Ivoire [17], Tunisia [8] or Saudi Arabia [16]. The most affected subjects were over 55 years old according to Prado et al in Brazil [13].…”

“…The interest in GERD stems from its chronic nature, its significant impact on patients' quality of life and its possible progression to adenocarcinoma of the oesophagus [17]. It should be noted that its diagnostic and therapeutic management constitutes a financial burden for society in terms of drug consumption and the search for therapeutic alternatives for long-term management [18].…”

Introduction: Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a common benign condition with a worldwide prevalence of between 5% and 45% in the adult population. Its prevalence in the general population is little known in Africa. The aim of this work was to study the prevalence of typical GERD in the general adult population of a large city and the associated socio-demographic factors. Patients and Methods: This was a prospectively collected, descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study that was conducted over a one-month period (June 2018). We included any person residing in the city of Cotonou for at least 6 months, aged 15 years or older, who had given consent for the study. The two-stage cluster sampling technique was used. The dependent variable was the typical gastroesophageal reflux defined by the heatburn-regurgitation association. Results: We had included 728 subjects. Of these, 255 had a typical GERD, i.e. a prevalence of 35%. The mean age of the respondents was 31.9 ± 13.2 years with extremes of 15 and 88 years. There were 379 men (52.1%) with a sex ratio of 1.08. The study population was represented respectively by artisans (29.3%), students (26.6%) and traders/dealers (20.3%). In terms of marital status, there were as many married and single subjects (48.2%). In addition, 47% of the study population had a body mass index of less than 25 kg/m 2. In univariate analysis, the sociodemographic factors associated with typical GERD were: age (60 years and older

“…Selon Klotz et al[19], il ne semble pas exister de particularité notable aussi bien en termes de prévalence que de symptomatologie clinique ou endoscopique en Afrique noire. Cependant, les oesophagites sévères semblent extrêmementr ares parmi les sujets noirs[2,9,[19][20][21][22][23][24]. L'explication de ce phénomène est-elle dans la prévalence élevéee t/ou dans la précocité de l'infestation de H. pylori dans nos populations avec des conditions socio-économiques faibles ?S egal et al[9] ont rapporté dans une revue des études épidémiologiques et cliniques en Afrique sub-saharienne (Afrique du Sud, Ethiopie, Nigéria, Zimbabwe, Kenya, Ouganda) que malgré l'augmentation des facteurs de risque favorisant le RGO en Afrique noire, celle-ci n'évolue pas dans le même sens que ces facteurs.…”
