Objective:
This study aimed to investigate the relationship between GERD and mental health status, alongside lifestyle factors and eating patterns among Palestinian adults.
Results:
In this study, 144 participants with GERD were analyzed. GERD symptom severity was categorized into three groups: mild (35.4%), moderate (32.0%), and severe (32.6%), according to the GERD-HRQOL. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that sleeping problems are the only predictor of GERD symptoms severity (B = 3.785, 95% confidence interval = 0.712-6.857, p = 0.016).
