Background: Despite a common disorder of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) in Bangladesh, population based data is unavailable. This epidemiological study was designed to determine the prevalence of GERD and its association with socio-demographic and lifestyle factors. Objective: The aim of the study was to assess socio-demographic characteristic of patients with GERD symptoms. Methods: The descriptive study was conducted in the department of Medicine of Mymensingh Medical College and Hospital, Mymensingh, Bangladesh to find out the Socio-Demographic Characteristic of Patients with GERD. 384 cases were randomly. Clinical examination and evaluation were done from October 2012 to April 2013. Statistical analysis of the results was obtained by using window-based computer software devised with Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS-22). Results: 384 populations were age frequency among total population 199 (51.82%) from 18-38 years, 130 (33.85%) from 39-59 years and 55 (14.32%) from 60 years of age and above. The study was seen that 188 (48.95%) were male and 196 (51.05%) were female. Among the study population of 384 cases 72 (18.75%) person had symptoms score more than 4, i.e. presence of GERD symptoms and 312 (81.85%) cases has symptoms score less than 4, i.e. absence of GERD symptoms. 13.88% GERD patient having history of taking tobacco leaf/battle nut/smoking, while only 10.25% general people having similar habit 4.16%. Conclusion: Young age in any form may be a risk for GERD. Need to concentrate about heart-burn which showed a major symptoms for both male and female. More concentration should be given on chronic cough for male of GERD patient.
