Hypertension (45%) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (30%) were the common comorbidities present. Heartburn and regurgitation were the most common symptoms, present in 37% and 35% of the subjects, respectively. Inflammatory lesions oesophagitis (28%) and gastritis (43%) were the common findings in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (UGIE). The stomach was the most common site with lesions. On histopathological examination, erosive gastritis (33%) and oesophagitis (28%) were confirmed. A total of 86% of obese subjects had at least one grossly abnormal finding. The prevalence of H. Pylori was 32%.
