摘要：
Objective. To assess joint mobility in people with hiatus hernia. Methods. A comparative control study was made on 100 patients attending an endoscopic unit. Fifty patients with hiatus hernia were compared with a control group matched for age, sex and body mass index without hiatus hernia. Mobility was scored on a scale of 0-9. Results. There were 11 (22%) patients in the hiatus hernia group with hypermobile joint score 4-9 compared with three (6%) subjects in the control group (P < 0.001), whilst the total mobility score among hypermobile patients was 59 in the hiatus hernia group compared with 13 in the control group (P < 0.005). Conclusion. There is a positive correlation between the presence of hiatus hernia and joint mobility.
