Summary

This study aims to understand the relationship between metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions like high blood pressure and excess body fat) and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), commonly known as acid reflux. Researchers will observe 50 adult patients with metabolic syndrome who are already scheduled for an upper endoscopy to check for GERD. The goal is to see if and how the components of metabolic syndrome contribute to the risk and severity of acid reflux damage in the esophagus.
