Gastro-esophageal reflux disease, women are more vulnerable – Health Korea News

[헬스코리아뉴스 / 이동근 기자] A study found that women are more vulnerable to gastroesophageal reflux than men.

Professor Kim Na Young and G Jinju Kim of the Seoul Seoul Bundang National University Hospital showed that gastroesophageal reflux

The research team reported that 45 patients with esophagitis by reflux, 14 patients with non-erosive reflux, 14 patients with non-erosive reflux,

As a result of the badysis, patients with gastroesophageal reflux oesophagitis have a low close badociation protein compared to healthy male subjects. In contrast, protein expression of adhesin-badociated protein was significantly decreased in male patients with reflux oesophagitis

but in women reflux esophagitis, the expression of these proteins remained unchanged and the mechanism of GERD was different between males and females.

The rate of patients with reflux oesophagitis was 86.4% in women and 56.5% in men, which was significantly higher in patients.

Symptoms of heartburn, gastric reflux and chest pain

In addition to this, patients often suffer from sleep disorders and eating problems, so life expectancy is much more high than that of women

Professor Kim Na Young said: "The results of this study

In men, the expression of closely related synovial proteins plays an important role in the esophagitis by reflux, but it is not important for women. "

On the other hand, gastroesophageal reflux (GI) is a condition in which gastric juice must be in the body. 39, stomach

It is a common disease in the western world rather than in the eastern kingdom, but in recent years, the westernization of dietary habits and obesity increases the prevalence of the population at 10% and the number of patients continually increases

Reflux esophagitis with tearing of the esophageal mucosa and non-erosive reflux without esophageal lesion are the most common, with 80% of patients with non-erosive reflux in Korea

Reflux is known to occur erosive occurs mainly in women, and that reflux oesophagitis is three times more common in men than in women, from where it is known that reflux oesophagitis is different by bad, even in cases of gastroesophageal reflux

. The reason that oesophagitis is more common in men than in women is that estrogen, a female hormone, plays a role in protecting the esophagus by increasing expression closely related synapses that block the gap between cells and cells. It was conducted jointly with the GISTEN Research Center for Gastric Innovation (GISTeR) and the Korean Journal of Gastroenterology
