  • Beschreibung: <jats:sec><jats:title>Background</jats:title><jats:p>There is increasing concern about the obesity epidemic in the United States. Obesity is a potential risk factor for a number of chronic diseases, including gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This analysis examined whether body mass index (BMI) was associated with physician‐diagnosed GERD in World Trade Center (WTC) general responders.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods</jats:title><jats:p>19,819 WTC general responders were included in the study. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to compare time to GERD diagnosis among three BMI groups (normal (&lt;25 kg/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>), overweight (≥25 and &lt;30 kg/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>), and obese (≥30 kg/m<jats:sup>2</jats:sup>)).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results</jats:title><jats:p>Among the responders, 43% were overweight and 42% were obese. The hazard ratio for normal versus overweight was 0.81 (95% Confidence Interval (CI), 0.75–0.88); normal versus obese 0.71 (95%CI, 0.66, 0.77); and overweight versus obese 0.88 (95%CI, 0.83–0.92).</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title><jats:p>GERD diagnoses rates were higher in overweight and obese WTC responders.
