Cascade Stomach is commonly found in obese patients. This study examined the physical factors, such as gender, age, height, weight and level of obesity, associated with a cascade stomach. Over a 12 month period between 2007 a series upper gastrointestinal examinations were carried out on 3,320 people, which included 564 patients with a Cascade Stomach. The results are as follows : 1. A cascade stomach was observed in 564(16.9%) out of 3,320 subjects. 2. A body mass index(BMI) > 120% was observed in 226 of the 564 cascade stomach patients. 3. Among those with a BMI > 120, 63.7% were female, 45.6% were aged between 50-59 years, 49.1% were between 151-160 cm in height and 31.0% were above 76 kg in weight. 4. The symptoms observed in the cascade stomach and obesity groups were subclinical(62.6% and 57.5%, respectively), dyspepsia(16.8% and 17.3%, respectively) and gastric soreness(10.8% and 15.0%, respectively). The incidence of a cascade stomach is higher in those with obesity. In addition, there is a higher incidence in females, those aged between 50 and 59, those between 151 and 160 cm in height and those weighing more than 76 kg. The main symptoms observed were subclinical, followed in order by dyspepsia and gastric soreness. This study showed a strong association between a cascade stomach and obesity. However, more studies will be needed to confirm this.
