Obesity usually is associated with morbidity related to diabetes mellitus and
cardiovascular diseases. However, there are many gastrointestinal and hepatic
diseases for which obesity is the direct cause (eg, nonalcoholic fatty liver
disease) or is a significant risk factor, such as reflux esophagitis and
gallstones. When obesity is a risk factor, it may interact with other mechanisms
and result in earlier presentation or complicated diseases. There are increased
odds ratios or relative risks of several gastrointestinal complications of
obesity: gastroesophageal reflux disease, erosive esophagitis, Barrett's
esophagus, esophageal adenocarcinoma, erosive gastritis, gastric cancer,
diarrhea, colonic diverticular disease, polyps, cancer, liver disease including
nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma,
gallstones, acute pancreatitis, and pancreatic cancer. Gastroenterologists are
uniquely poised to participate in the multidisciplinary management of obesity as
physicians caring for people with obesity-related diseases, in addition to their
expertise in nutrition and endoscopic interventions.
