- Abstract
A correlation to obesity has been reported in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). However, insufficient data have been obtained regarding underweight GERD patients. Post hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective cohort study was conducted to evaluate subjective symptoms and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in underweight GERD patients (body mass index [BMI] < 18.5) and to evaluate therapeutic response to proton pump inhibitors.
