Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify the independent association between urban residency and comorbid atopic conditions, the inflammatory endotype, and the fibrostenotic endotype.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Six hundred eighty-three EoE patients were included, with 136 (20.0%) urban and 547 (80%) nonurban residents. Urban patients had higher rates of atopy (63.2% vs. 51.8%, P=0.02), severe food/environmental allergies (17.7% vs. 8.3%, P=0.002), and inflammatory findings endoscopic (43.4% vs. 27.8%, P=0.0006). On multivariable analysis, atopy (OR=1.57, CI: 1.02-2.40, P=0.04), severe food/environmental allergies (OR=1.99, CI: 1.09-3.63, P=0.02), and inflammatory findings (OR=1.90, CI: 1.22-2.94, P=0.004) remained independently associated with urban residency.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Urban residency is independently associated with severe food/environmental allergies and inflammatory endoscopic findings at EoE diagnosis, suggesting increased allergic phenotype and active inflammation at presentation. Allergen exposure, particularly indoors, and social determinants may be contributory factors. Environmental considerations, such as geographic residency, may impact EoE disease presentation, activity, and outcome.</p>","PeriodicalId":15457,"journal":{"name":"Journal of clinical gastroenterology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147729157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
