Popis: AbstractBackground Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) are both associated with obesity. However, the relationship of NAFLD with reflux esophagitis (RE) is still unclear in non-obese individuals.Methods Individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 28 kg/m2 or higher, as well as waist circumference (WC) no less than 90 cm for men and no less than 85 cm for women were excluded. After controlling for other factors, 1905 eligible adult subjects were included. The components related to metabolic syndrome and the prevalence of NAFLD in the RE group as well as the non-RE group were analyzed. Risk factors for RE were determined using logistic regression.Results In non-obese individuals, the prevalence of RE and NAFLD increased with increasing WC and BMI (p
