CONTEXT: There are reports showing that gender has an influence on swallowing and on the contractions of the distal esophageal body. OBJECTIVE: In this investigation we studied the effect of gender on proximal esophageal contraction. METHODS: We studied 20 men (22-68 years old, median 39 years) and 44 women (18-61 years old, median 41 years) without symptoms and without gastrointestinal or respiratory diseases. We measured the time interval between the onset of pharyngeal contraction 1 cm proximal to the upper esophageal sphincter and the onset of the proximal esophageal contraction 5 cm from the pharyngeal recording. We also measured the amplitude, duration and area under the curve of the proximal esophageal contractions. The recording was...
