Abstract

Background: Regarding the increasing PREVALENCE of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) during the previous decade in Iran, we have designed the present study on Tehran residents in 1999 to determine the PREVALENCE of GERD. Materials and methods: 700 individuals (M/F=l) of different age groups had entered this descriptive study through a randomized sampling. HEARTBURN was considered as the cardinal symptom and its severity and frequency was determined. Meanwhile, the role of personal characteristics was observed in GERD. Results: History of HEARTBURN was reported in 39.7%, where 10.7% had experienced daily HEARTBURN and 6.5% had such a severe pain that made them avoid eating. Smokers were two times as likely as nonsmokers to experience GERD. Conclusion: GERD is a noticeable problem here in Iran that seeks more attention. Further studies are strongly recommended to determine the etiologic factors.
