Abstrakt:	Background: There is a high prevalence of dyspepsia and obesity in Mexican population. A relationship between obesity and dyspeptic symptoms has been proposed. Objective: To determine prevalence of dyspeptic symptoms in patients with normal weight, overweight and obesity. Methods: Prospective study on consecutive patients who attend for medical assistance for any reason in a first level medical center. Weight, height, and body mass index (BMI) were measured. A validated questionnaire for dyspepsia was applied. Results: Three-hundred and twenty patients were included (61.6% women, n = 197). The mean patient age was 37 ± 14.4 years old. Mean BMI was 26.68 with 42.2% of patients (n = 135) overweight, 35.6% (n = 114) with normal weight and 22.2% (n = 71) were obese. Compared to patients with normal weight and overweight the obesity group showed a higher prevalence of gastritis symptoms, pain, stomachache, heartburn, a worst quality of life, and a higher frequency of medication intake. Patients with overweight presented a higher score in quality of life and treatment compared with normal weight patients. Conclusions: Obese patients showed a higher prevalence of dyspeptic symptoms compared to normal weight and overweight patients.
