Summary

Is waist to hip ratio (WHR), waist circumference (WC), (as markers of visceral adiposity) associated with an increase in acidic and non acidic reflux as well as systemic inflammation involving esophageal mucosa, thereby increasing esophageal injury and predisposing to subsequent development of Barrett's esophagus (BE)?
