Test Your Knowledge - Hiatal Hernia Quiz
Sorry, that's incorrect.

Though Barrett's esophagus and erosive esophagitis can be associated with hiatal hernias, many more individuals who have a hiatal hernia also suffer from GERD.

Hiatal hernias occur in about 25% of people 50 years of age or older.

Though hiatal hernias are more common in persons over the age of 50, they can occur in people of all ages.
