Objective We assessed the factors associated with overlap between functional dyspepsia (FD) and nonerosive reflux disease (NERD) in endoscopy-based Helicobacter pylori-uninfected Japanese health checkup participants. Methods We utilized baseline data from 3,085 individuals who underwent upper endoscopy for health screening in a prospective, multicenter cohort study. The participants were asked to complete a questionnaire detailing their upper abdominal symptoms and lifestyle. Anxiety was assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) score. FD, postprandial distress syndrome (PDS), and epigastric pain syndrome (EPS) were defined according to the Rome III criteria. NERD was defined as heartburn or regurgitation ≥1 day/week without erosive esophagitis. Results Of the 3,085 participants, 73 (2.4%), 97 (3.1%), and 84 (2.7%) had FD alone, NERD alone, and FD-NERD overlap, respectively. Factors associated with FD-NERD-overlap participants compared with participants with neither FD nor NERD were women [odds ratio (OR): 2.08, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.24-3.52], body mass index (BMI) <18.5 (OR: 2.87, 95% CI: 1.56-5.07), alcohol consumption ≥20 g/day (OR: 1.85, 95% CI: 1.06-3.15), and a high STAI score (OR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.62-4.00). Increasing age (OR: 1.06, 95% CI: 1.01-1.11) and EPS symptoms [pure EPS (OR: 3.67, 95% CI: 1.65-8.51) and PDS-EPS overlap (OR: 11.6, 95% CI: 4.09-37.2)] were associated with FD-NERD overlap vs. FD alone. Women (OR: 3.17, 95% CI: 1.47-7.04), BMI <18.5 (OR: 3.03, 95% CI: 1.04-9.90), and acid reflux symptoms ≥2 days a week (OR: 3.57, 95% CI: 1.83-7.14) were associated with FD-NERD overlap vs. NERD alone. Conclusion Understanding the clinical features of overlap between FD and NERD will lead to better management.
