smoking and alcohol consumption are generally thought to be contributory causes of cancer in Barrett's Oesophagus (CBO). However, until now no population based studies have been performed. A unique opportunity for such a study was afforded by the finding of a high prevalence of Barrett's oesophagus (BO) amongst intellectually disabled individuals (IDI) in residential care who do not smoke or drink alcohol.
