Abstract:
Objective
To analyze the risk factors for the occurrence of esophageal hiatal hernia.
Methods
A total of 200 patients who underwent gastroscopy in Beijing Chaoyang Hospital, Capital Medical University from January 2021 to December 2023 were selected.Among them, 100 patients diagnosed with esophageal hiatal hernia under endoscopy were selected as the case group, and 100 patients without esophageal hiatal hernia under endoscopy were selected as the control group.Questionnaire was used to analyze the general situation, lifestyle, and occupational status of two groups of patients.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to explore the risk factors for esophageal hiatal hernia.
Results
Univariate analysis showed that the proportion of males, age, obese individuals, smokers,drinkers, constipated individuals, postprandial exercise participants, high-fat diet participants, eating too fast, overeating, spicy eating habits, sitting for long time, and depression in the case group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age,obesity, and a preference for spicy food were high risk factors for esophageal hiatal hernia (OR=16.498,12.891,3.718,all P<0.001).
Conclusion
Advanced age, obesity, and a preference for spicy food are high risk factors for esophageal hiatal hernia.For high-risk individuals, it is important to encourage them to develop good lifestyle and dietary habits, which can help prevent the occurrence of hiatal hernia and control its progression.
