Abstract

We surveyed 300 randomly selected presumable healthy adults for previously defined gastrointestinal and esophageal symptoms. Heartburn was the most common symptom, more frequent in females than in males (p less than 0.01). An association of esophageal symptoms to heartburn but not to smoking habit was found. Constipation was frequent in females and diarrhea in males. We conclude that esophageal symptoms are frequent in presumable healthy individuals.
