Response - NO
Brief Summary   The study will be proceeded after getting approval from the institutional ethical committee(IEC), The participants will be selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, Informed consent will be obtained from the patients to ensure their willingness in this study, The research objectives will be explained to the participants in their regional language, After explanation each participant will be given the GERD-HRQL questionnaire, The patient will be assessed only after an hour from a meal, Each participant will be tested using the respiratory pressure meter to check their Inspiratory muscle strength MIP in cms H2O was measured with portable Respiratory Pressure Meter (Micro RPM),The subjects were seated with trunk at an angle of 90 degrees to the hip and feet on the ground. Subject used the nasal clip during all the manoevers. A nose clip was worn with normal mouth piece ensuring that there was no leak around the mouth piece. For MIP measurement ,the subjects were asked to make a maximal inspiratory effort starting from residual volume(RV), All the subjects performed three manoevers with effort and holding each for at least one second. One minute of rest was given between the efforts. The highest value recorded for MIP was taken for the purpose of data analysis ,The participant’s anthropometric measurement will be assessed, which includes height, weight, hip circumference and waist circumference ,From this collected data the BMI and waist-hip ratio of each participant will be calculated, The participant’s functional mobility will be assessed using TUG Test., The collected data is then analyzed and then the co-relation between Inspiratory muscle strength and anthropometric measurement will be found
