Among many others, obesity is a big risk factor.
It's not just weakening that's the problem, but also more pressure from below, and obesity can cause the stomach to be pushed up.
I have a hiatal hernia, where there's a too large opening allowing part of the stomach to slipe through the diaphragm, and that massively increases my acid reflux if I don't take medication.
Weight changes dramatically affects the strength of my symptoms. As I've lost weight the symptoms have largely disappeared again.
