Implication

Systematic review demonstrates increased body mass significantly elevates GERD prevalence and severity, suggesting critical need for weight management.

Key Points

Increased body mass correlates positively with the prevalence and severity of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Meta-analyses indicate significant odds ratios for GERD in obese individuals, from 1.73 to 4.25.
Obesity, particularly central and visceral types, emerged as strong predictors for severe erosive esophagitis.
Findings highlight the urgency of addressing obesity as a core strategy in managing gastroesophageal reflux disease.
