Email this article The association between gastroesophageal reflux and Physical activity of individuals among the population of PERSIAN Guilan cohort study (PGCS)
Abstract
This study was conducted to investigate the correlation between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and levels of physical activity in the Prospective Epidemiological Research Studies of the Iranian Adults (PERSIAN) Guilan cohort population (PGCS). This study is a across-sectional survey on 10520 individuals of PGCS from 2014 to 2017. Demographical study and clinical characteristics including age, gender, a history of alcohol consumption and smoking, body mass index (BMI), and level of physical activity were collected via questionnaire. The statistical data was analyzed using SPSS version 16 with considering a significant level less than 0.05. The analysis of the data illustrated that out of 10520 individuals, 1385 (13.2%, 95%CI: 12.5-13.8) patients had GERD. Low level of physical activity, female gender, middle age, and upper BMI were reported to had associate with higher GERD (P<0.05). The adjusted analysis showed that the GERD significantly associated with low physical activity (OR: 1.15, 95%CI: 1.01-1.33, P=0.044). Due to our results, GERD was reported higher in females, middle age, overweight individuals, and low level of physical activity.
