Abstrakt: The aim of this study is to assess dietary and lifestyle factors associated with GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease) through a survey conducted on population of Delhi and Noida, Uttar Pradesh from age group-15 to 45 years and above. GERD is related to many irregular dietary and lifestyle habits (such as a habit of midnight snacking, skipping breakfast, large gap between meals, eating quickly, eating very spicy foods, eating junk food frequently high fatty food and eating beyond fullness). An interval of less than three hours between dinner and bedtime, disturbed sleeping pattern was positively related to GERD, while proper physical exercise was negatively correlated with GERD. Smoking, alcohol consumption and mental state (poor mental state) were positively correlated with GERD. In conclusion, many dietary and lifestyle factors affect the onset of GERD and these factors differ among sex, age groups and job types. Unhealthy lifestyles are closely related to high incidence of suspected GERD. These findings need to be further confirmed in subsequent studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
