OBJECTIVES: The correlation of nutritional patterns with number and types of gastroesophageal refluxes is poorly studied yet. Aim: To assess the effect of actual nutrition of GERD patients on the number and type of gastroesophageal reflux detected with 24-hours esophageal pH-impedance. METHODS: One hundred twenty-four GERD patients (54 men, age (M ± m): 46 ± 17.7 y.o., BMI 28.5 ± 0.6 kg/m(2)) and 41 healthy controls (8 men, age 42 ± 12.4 y.o., BMI 28.3 ± 1.3 kg/m(2)) were examined with the use of language-specific food frequency questionnaire and 24-hours esophageal pH-impedance (Ohmega, MMS; 2 pH, 6 impedance catheters, Unisensor). The correlation analysis between macro- and micronutrient consumption and the number of gastroesophageal refluxes (GER), their acidity and duration was performed (Statistica 10, StatSoft) RESULTS: Direct medium-strength correlation was found between esophageal acid exposure time and the energy value of the ration (Spearman rank R = 0.19, p |
