Gastroesophageal reflux and dyspepsia symptoms in indigenous rural population of Yakutia
Abstract
In order to study the prevalence of gastroesophageal reflux (GER), dyspepsia symptoms in the indigenous rural population of Yakutia and identify risk factors for their development residents of the two rural villages, located about 200 km from Yakutsk at the age of 45-70 years were examined. Gastroenterological questionnaire was filled with subsequent isolation of dyspepsia and GER syndromes. Symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux and dyspepsia were revealed. In this case, the risk factors for GER differ significantly from those of the syndrome of dyspepsia. Some of these factors are modifiable, which allows planning for their preventive measures.
