Medical students under the microscope: GERD, stress, and eating habits examined

This study surveys over 3,700 medical students and interns across the Middle East to find out how many have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It also looks at how eating habits, stress, anxiety, and depression relate to GERD and how the condition affects their quality of life. Participants fill out online questionnaires about their symptoms, eating behavior, and mental health. The goal is to better understand GERD in this high-stress group and guide future awareness and prevention efforts.
