“…With the increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome, GERD has also become more prevalent in Korea. The overall prevalence of erosive esophagitis was 3.4% in 2001 [21] and 6.6% in 2006 [6] . In terms of reflux symptoms, 2.5% of adults experienced heartburn and reflux symptoms in 2000 [22] .…”

AIM:To clarify whether insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome are risk factors for erosive esophagitis. METHODS: A case-control study was performed using the database of the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital Medical Screening Center. RESULTS: A total of 1679 cases of erosive esophagitis and 3358 randomly selected controls were included. Metabolic syndrome was diagnosed in 21% of the cases and 12% of the controls (P < 0.001). Multiple logistic regressions confirmed the association between erosive esophagitis and metabolic syndrome (Odds ratio, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.04-1.49). Among the components of metabolic syndrome, increased waist circumference, elevated serum triglyceride levels and hypertension were significant risk factors for erosive esophagitis (all P < 0.01). Furthermore, increased insulin resistance (Odds ratio, 0.91; 95% CI, 0.85-0.98) and fatty liver, as diagnosed by ultrasonography (Odds ratio, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.20-1.60), were also related to erosive esophagitis even after adjustment for a series of confounding factors. CONCLUSION: Metabolic syndrome and increased insulin resistance are associated with an increased risk of developing erosive esophagitis.

“…8 In a 1994 Korean study, an overall prevalence of erosive esophagitis was 2.4%, 18 which 20 The prevalence increased over the past 10 years. [5][6][7][8][9][18][19][20] Kawaguchi et al 4 reported that the prevalence of GERD in CKD patients increases probably due to increased gastrin secretion, decreased H. pylori prevalence, and interference with gastric emptying.…”

“…Erosive esophagitis was positively related to alcohol consumption [28] . The mechanism is that alcohol intake induces nausea and vomiting and directly causes mucosal impairment, while food intake at late night elevates the risk of esophagitis [29] .…”

AIM:To analyze the spectrum and risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on presenting symptoms and endoscopic findings. METHODS:A cross-sectional survey in a cluster random sample was conducted from November 2004 to June 2005 using a validated Chinese version Reflux Disease Questionnaire (RDQ) and other items recording the demographic characteristics and potential risk factors for GERD. Subjects were defined as having GERD symptoms according to the RDQ score (> 12). All subjects were endoscopied and the definition and severity of erosive esophagitis were evaluated by Los Angeles classification. The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS13.0 programs. RESULTS:Of 2231 recruited participants, 701 (31.40%) patients were diagnosed as having GERD while 464 (20.80%) patients had objective findings of reflux esophagitis (RE). Of those 464 patients, only 291 (13.00%) were reported as subjects with GERD symptoms. A total of 528 (23.70%) patients were found to have GERD symptoms, including 19.50% patients with grade A or B reflux esophagitis, 0.90% with grade C and 0.40% with grade D. On multivariate analysis, old age, male, moderate working burden, divorced/widowed and strong tea drinking remained as significant independent risk factors for erosive esophagitis. Meanwhile, routine usage of greasy food and constipation were considered as significant independent risk factors for non-erosive reflux disease (NERD). CONCLUSION:GERD is one of the common GI diseases with a high occurrence rate in China and its main associated factors include sex, anthropometrical variables and sociopsychological characteristics.

Prevalence of endoscopic reflux esophagitis among Koreans

Abstract: The prevalence of endoscopic reflux esophagitis among Koreans is 3.4%, and most of the patients had a mild grade esophagitis. Smoking, alcohol consumption, the presence of a hiatal hernia and a higher BMI are associated with the development of reflux esophagitis.
