Abstract:
Objective:To explore the epidemiological characteristics and risk factors of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Rongcheng city.Methods:From June to December 2023, 4 421 permanent residents of Rongcheng city were selected as the survey subjects, and an epidemiological investigation of GERD was conducted through a combination of telephone interviews and medical records review.Results:A total of 4 803 permanent residents of Rongcheng city were investigated in this study, and the loss of follow-up rate was 7.95%(382/4 803). The prevalence rate of GERD was 6.11%(270/4 421). Compared with the non-GERD group, patients in the GERD group were older, had a higher body mass index (BMI), had a higher proportion of males, and had a lower proportion of married patients ( P<0.05). The results of single factor analysis showed that gallbladder polyp, enteritis, Helicobacter pylori infection, colon polyp, peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, pharyngitis, drinking history, smoking history, sleep problems or troubles, and eating fish, shellfish, shrimp and seaweed were the influencing factors of GERD ( P<0.05). Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that male, gallbladder polyp, enteritis, Helicobacter pylori infection, chronic gastritis, coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, pharyngitis, and sleep problems or troubles were independent risk factors for GERD ( P<0.05), while married and eating fish, shellfish, shrimp and seaweed were protective factors ( P<0.05). The scores of Health Questionnaire Depression Scale (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Scale (GAD-7) and Health Questionnaire Somatic Symptom Group Scale (PHQ-15) in the GERD group were higher than those in the non-GERD group: 8(5, 12) scores vs. 2(1, 4) scores, 8(5, 11) scores vs. 2(2, 5) scores, 12(8, 16) scores vs. 4(2, 5) scores, there were statistical differences ( P<0.01). The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that the three mental state scales and GERD scale (GerdQ) scores had positive correlationsrespectively ( r = 0.150, 0.122, 0.153, P<0.05). Conclusions:The etiology and pathogenesis of GERD are related to living habits, basic diseases, mental factors and other factors. In order to reduce the incidence rate of GERD, attention should be paid to the adjustment of personal living habits and eating habits, as well as mental health.
