Sex-specific association of visceral and abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue with gastroesophageal reflux disease: a large-scale perspective cohort study
We observed positive associations between abdominal adipose components and GERD in both sexes, which were stronger in females than males. Our findings provide evidence that gender may be a factor to be considered in the risk assessment and management of GERD, although validation in larger cohort of general populations is required.
