Obesity Complication of Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (Heart Burn)

By Kyle J. Norton

Obesity is defined as a medical condition of excess body fat has accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

How to calculate your BMI index
BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

 Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), also known as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD), gastric reflux disease, or acid reflux disease, is defined as a chronic condition of liquid stomach acid refluxing back up from the stomach into the esophagus, causing heartburn. According to the study of "Updated guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease." by DeVault KR, Castell DO; American College of Gastroenterology, GERD is defined as symptoms or mucosal damage produced by the abnormal reflux of gastric contents into the esophagus.

D. How Obesity associates with Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (Heart Burn)
1. According to the study of "Prevalence and risk factors for gastroesophageal reflux disease in an impoverished minority population" by Friedenberg FK, Rai J, Vanar V, Bongiorno C, Nelson DB, Parepally M, Poonia A, Sharma A, Gohel S, Richter JE., posted in PubMed, researchers found that Increasing waist circumference, but not overall body mass index or waist-hip ratio, and smoking are risk factors for prevalent GERD. No association between reflux disease and lifestyle choices such as coffee drinking and fast food dining were found.

2. In a study of "Does BMI affect the clinical efficacy of proton pump inhibitor therapy in GERD? The case for rabeprazole" by Pace F, Coudsy B, Delemos B, Sun Y, Xiang J, Lococo J, Casalini S, Li H, Pelosini I, Scarpignato C., posted in PubMed, researchers comcluded that Results of this study show that the clinical efficacy of rabeprazole is maintained in overweight/obese patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease and suggest that this subgroup of patients may derive, from rabeprazole, even greater benefit than lean patients.

3. In the abstract of the study of "Effects of environment and lifestyle on gastroesophageal reflux disease" by Sonnenberg A., posted in PubMed, researchers stated that Overweight and obesity contribute to the development of hiatal hernia, increase intra-abdominal pressure, and promote gastroesophageal reflux. Weight gain increases reflux symptoms, whereas weight loss decreases such symptoms. Other risk factors, such as smoking, alcohol, dietary fat, or drugs, play only a minor role in shaping the epidemiologic patterns of GERD. PROTECTION THROUGH HELICOBACTER PYLORI: On a population level, a high prevalence of H. pylori infection is likely to reduce levels of acid secretion and protect some carriers of the infection against reflux disease and its associated complications.

4. According to the study of "Gastroesophageal reflux disease and morbid obesity: is there a relation?" by Fisichella PM, Patti MG., posted in PubMed, researchers found that Although many advances have been made in the understanding of the pathophysiology of GERD, many aspects of the pathophysiology of this disease in morbidly obese patients remain unclear. The following review describes the current evidence linking esophageal reflux to obesity, covering the pathophysiology of the disease and the implications for treatment of GERD in the obese patient.

5. In the abstract of the study of "Obesity and gastroesophageal reflux: quantifying the association between body mass index, esophageal acid exposure, and lower esophageal sphincter status in a large series of patients with reflux symptoms" by Ayazi S, Hagen JA, Chan LS, DeMeester SR, Lin MW, Ayazi A, Leers JM, Oezcelik A, Banki F, Lipham JC, DeMeester TR, Crookes PF., posted in PubMed, researchers found that An increase in body mass index is associated with an increase in esophageal acid exposure, whether BMI was examined as a continuous or as a categorical variable; 13% of the variation in esophageal acid exposure may be attributable to variation in BMI.

6. Etc.


Treatments of Obesity and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (Heart Burn)
1. According to the study of "Gastroesophageal reflux disease is inversely related with glycemic control in morbidly obese patients" by Lauffer A, Forcelini CM, Ruas LO, Madalosso CA, Fornari F., posted in PubMed, researchers found that This study suggests an inverse relation between glycemic control and GERD in morbidly obese patients. This can be partially explained by a lower frequency of hiatal hernia in patients with very poor glycemic control.

2. In the study of "Gastroesophageal reflux disease and obesity. Pathophysiology and implications for treatment" by Herbella FA, Sweet MP, Tedesco P, Nipomnick I, Patti MG., posted in PubMed, researchers indicated that A linear regression model showed that BMI, LES pressure, LES abdominal length, and DEA were independently associated with the DeMeester score. These data showed that: (a) BMI was independently associated to the severity of GERD; and (b) in most morbidly obese patients with GERD, reflux occurred despite normal or hypertensive esophageal motility. These findings show that the pathophysiology of GERD in morbidly obese patients might differ from that of nonobese patients, suggesting the need for a different therapeutic approach.

Obesity Complication of Hypertension

By Kyle J. Norton

Obesity is defined as a medical condition of excess body fat accumulated overtime, while overweight is a condition of excess body weight relatively to the height. According to the Body Mass Index(BMI), a BMI between 25 to 29.9 is considered over weight, while a BMI of over 30 is an indication of obesity. According to the statistic, 68% of American population are either overweight or obese.

 How to calculate your BMI index
BMI= weight (kg)/ height (m2)

 Hypertension, also known as high blood pressure is defined as a condition of elevation of systemic arterial blood pressure.

 How Obesity associates with Hypertension
1. According to the study of "
Links between childhood and adult social circumstances and obesity and hypertension in the mexican population" by Beltrán-Sánchez H, Crimmins EM, Teruel GM, Thomas D., posted in PubMed, researchers found that Recent changes in income, nutrition, and infection in Mexico may be responsible for the observed high prevalence of overweight and obesity and the extremely high odds of hypertension among obese young adults.

2. In the abstract of the study of "Health-related quality of life and awareness of hypertension" by Korhonen PE, Kivelä SL, Kautiainen H, Järvenpää S, Kantola I., posted in PubMed, researchers indicated that Impaired HRQoL in hypertensive patients might be secondary to the awareness of hypertension, adverse drug effects, newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes or obesity, not high blood pressure per se.

3. In the abstract of the study of " Dietary phytochemicals and their potential effects on obesity: A review" by González-Castejón M, Rodriguez-Casado A., posted in PubMed, researchers stated that The incidence of obesity is rising at an alarming rate and is becoming a major public health concern with incalculable social costs. Indeed, obesity facilitates the development of metabolic disorders such as diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular diseases in addition to chronic diseases such as stroke, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, some cancers, and inflammation-bases pathologies.

4. According to the study of "Arterial hypertension in overweight and obese algerian adolescents: Role of abdominal adiposity" by Benmohammed K, Nguyen MT, Khensal S, Valensi P, Lezzar A., posted in PubMed, researchers concluded that The prevalence of hypertension is high in overweight and obese adolescents, and higher in boys than in girls. Hypertension and arterial stiffness, as determined by high PP levels, were associated with abdominal adiposity. It is recommended that prehypertension be identified in overweight adolescents and that lifestyle changes be made to avoid its evolution towards obesity and hypertension.

5. In the study of "Role of waist circumference in predicting the risk of high blood pressure in children" by Kovacs VA, Gabor A, Fajcsak Z, Martos E., posted in PubMed, researchers indicated that The ability of WC to detect high-risk normal weight children is controversial. The additional measure of WC among overweight children seems to be relevant in identifying those at increased risk of high BP. Further research with a larger sample size is required in the obese group.

6. in Another study of "Blood pressure: effect of body mass index and of waist circumference on adolescents" [Article in English, Portuguese] by Guimarães IC, de Almeida AM, Santos AS, Barbosa DB, Guimarães AC., posted in PubMed, researchers concluded that BMI and WC values have a strong influence on BP values in adolescents.

7. Etc.

Treatments of Obesity and Hypertension
1. In a study of "Best strategies for hypertension management in type 2 diabetes and obesity" by Allcock DM, Sowers JR., posted in PubMed, researchers indicated that significant research and effort must be put forth to bring blood pressure to goal and delay or prevent target organ damage. Such efforts should frequently include a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker such as amlodipine. Other agents that are currently underused in this population for the treatment of resistant hypertension include nebivolol, carvedilol, aliskiren, and aldosterone antagonists. Finally, significant potential is seen for darusentan, an endothelin antagonist, if it comes to market.

2. According to the study of "The 2004 Canadian recommendations for the management of hypertension: Part II--Therapy" by Khan NA, McAlister FA, Campbell NR, Feldman RD, Rabkin S, Mahon J, Lewanczuk R, Zarnke KB, Hemmelgarn B, Lebel M, Levine M, Herbert C; Canadian Hypertension Education Program., posted in PubMed, researchers stated
that This document contains detailed recommendations and supporting evidence on treatment thresholds, target blood pressures and choice of agents for hypertensive patients with or without comorbidities. Lifestyle modifications are a key component of any antiatherosclerotic management strategy and detailed recommendations are contained in a separate document. Key recommendations for pharmacotherapy include the following: treatment thresholds and targets should take into account each individual's global atherosclerotic risk, target organ damage and comorbidities, with particular attention to systolic blood pressure; blood pressure should be lowered to 140/90 mmHg or less in all patients, and 130/80 mmHg or less in those with diabetes mellitus or renal disease (125/75 mmHg or less in those with nondiabetic renal disease and more than 1 g of proteinuria per day); most adults with hypertension require more than one agent to achieve target blood pressures; for adults without compelling indications for other agents, initial therapy should include thiazide diuretics; other agents appropriate for first-line therapy for diastolic hypertension with or without systolic hypertension include beta-blockers (in those younger than 60 years), ACE inhibitors (in non-Blacks), long-acting dihydropyridine CCBs or angiotensin receptor antagonists; other agents appropriate for first-line therapy for isolated systolic hypertension include long-acting dihydropyridine CCBs or angiotensin receptor antagonists; certain comorbidities provide compelling indications for first-line use of other agents: in patients with angina, recent myocardial infarction or heart failure, beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors are recommended as first-line therapy; in patients with diabetes mellitus, ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor antagonists (or thiazides in patients with diabetes mellitus without albuminuria) are appropriate first-line therapies; and in patients with mild to moderate nondiabetic renal disease, ACE inhibitors are recommended; all hypertensive patients should have their fasting lipids screened and those with dyslipidemia should be treated using the thresholds, targets and agents as per the Recommendations for the management of dyslipidemia and the prevention of cardiovascular disease; and selected patients with hypertension should also receive statin and/or acetylsalicylic acid therapy.

3. In another study of "A comparison of the efficacy and safety of irbesartan/hydrochlorothiazide combination therapy with irbesartan monotherapy in the treatment of moderate or severe hypertension in diabetic and obese hypertensive patients: a post-hoc analysis review" by Neutel JM., posted in PubMed, researcher indicated that Treatment-emergent adverse event rates were similar between treatment groups regardless of the presence of diabetes or body mass index (BMI) status. In patients with moderate or severe hypertension and with a BMI ≥ 30 kg/m(2), initial treatment with irbesartan/HCTZ combination therapy was more effective than irbesartan monotherapy.
