The current epidemics of obesity and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)–related disorders, including symptoms, esophageal erosions, Barrett’s esophagus (BE), and esophageal adenocarcinoma, have generated much interest in studying the association between these two conditions. Results of multiple case-control and cohort studies indicate that obesity satisfies several criteria for a causal association with GERD and some of its complications, including a generally consistent association with GERD symptoms, erosive esophagitis, and esophageal adenocarcinoma. An increase in GERD symptoms has been shown to occur in individuals who gain weight but continue to have a body mass index (BMI) in the normal range, contributing to the epidemiological evidence for a possible dose-response relationship between increasing BMI and increasing GERD. However, data are less clear on the relationship between BE and obesity, with more recent investigations showing little association. However, when considered separately, abdominal obesity seems to explain a considerable part of the association with GERD, including BE. Overall, epidemiological data show that maintaining a normal BMI may reduce the likelihood of developing GERD and its potential complications.
