Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Jillian's habit of drinking and smoking increases the risk of developing gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Additionally, her excess weight and tight-fitting clothes can contribute to higher pressure in the stomach, making GERD more likely. Rheumatoid arthritis, cystic fibrosis, and irritable bowel syndrome are not directly related to Jillian's lifestyle habits.
