L aryngopharyngeal reflux or LPRD is a disease that occurs due to backflow ofstomach contents into the esophagus and causes an inflammatory reaction in theaerodigestive tract mucosa, and can be at risk of developing pharyngeal andhypopharyngeal carcinoma. The prevalence of LPRD in Indonesia before thepandemic was 20% and abroad ranged from 18.8% to 45%. There are many factorsthat are considered risk factors for LPRD, one of which is sugar. The purpose ofthis study was to determine the relationship between the amount of free sugarconsumption and the incidence of laryngopharyngeal reflux in adolescents during apandemic.METHODThis study used a cross-sectional study design with a reflux symptom index (RSI)questionnaire for LPRD conditions and SQ-FFQ to assess daily sugar intake.Respondents amounted to 210 people. The variables studied were age, gender, waistcircumference, body mass index, total daily sugar consumption, and LPRD. Dataanalysis was performed using the Chi-Square test with a significance level ofp<0.05.RESULTThe characteristics of the respondents were mostly 16 years old 70 (33.3%)respondents, female 107 (51%) respondents, normal waist circumference 183(87.1%) respondents, normal body mass index 114 (54.3%) respondents ,consuming low-free sugar 201 (95.7%) respondents, and negativelaryngopharyngeal reflux 180 (85.7%) respondents. The results of data analysisshowed that there was no relationship between age, sex, waist circumference, bodymass index and the amount of free sugar consumption with the incidence oflaryngopharyngeal reflux (p = 0.209; p = 0.499; p = 0.237; p = 1; p = 0.122).CONCLUSIONThis study shows that there is no relationship between age, gender, waistcircumference, body mass index and the amount of free sugar consumption with theincidence of laryngopharyngeal reflux in adolescents during the pandemic.
