Aim of investigation. To study prevalence and clinical aspects of Barrett’s esophagus at native and extraterrestrial inhabitants of Khakasia republic.Material and methods. Clinical investigation and esophagogastroduodenoscopy were carried out at 12975 Caucasians and 1489 Khakases in the age of 18 to 65 years. Diagnosis of Barrett’s esophagus was verified by vital staining. Results. In the studied population prevalence of heartburn was 44,3% for Khakases and 48,6% for Caucasians (OR 0,84; CI 0,75–0,94; р=0,002). Prevalence of Barrett’s esophagus at Khakases was 2,9% (5,4% – at males, 1,3% – at females; OR 4,20; CI 2,15– 8,23; р<0,001), at Caucasians – 1,5% (2,3% – at males, 0,7% – at females; OR 3,25; CI 2,35–4,48; р><0,001). In both populations Barrett’s esophagus has been associated to complaints of cough, ENT-diseases and cardialgia frequency. Conclusion. Ethnic differences in prevalence of Barrett’s esophagus in the investigated groups were found.><0,001), at Caucasians – 1,5% (2,3% – at males, 0,7% – at females; OR 3,25; CI 2,35–4,48; р<0,001).
