[Features of prevalence and risk factors of GERD in different age-gender groups]
Aim:
To study prevalence and risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease in different age-gender groups.
Material And Methods:
506 men of military age, in 375 men in age 40-60 years old, 296 women in age 18-30 years old were investigated. The research included clinical examination with standard questionnaires filling and endoscopy.
Results:
Prevalence of heartburn in men of military age was 30.4%; in men in age 40-60 years old--46.9%, (p(1-2) < 0.001), in women--24.6% (p(1-3) = 0.8). Prevalence of esophagitis in men of military age was 2.4%; in men in age 40-60 years old--4.3%, (p(1-2) = 0.1), in women--0.7% (p(1-3) = 0.07).
Conclusion:
Features of clinical manifestations and risk factors action in three different age-gender groups were established.
