TLDR
A decreasing trend of H. pylori seroprevalence due to a birth cohort effect requires further studies on its related human host factors as well as socio-economic and hygienic factors.Abstract:
Background
The aim of this study was to evaluate the time trend of seropositivity of Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) over the period of 13 years in an asymptomatic Korean population, and investigate associated risk factorsread more

TL;DR: Large amounts of variation among regions are observed among regions-more than half the world's population is infected, which can be used in development of customized strategies for the global eradication.

TL;DR: This study highlights the importance of knowing the carrier and removal status of canine coronavirus, as a source of infection for other animals, not necessarily belonging to the same breeds.

TL;DR: Despite the favourable mortality trends worldwide, in some countries the declines are becoming less marked, and the predictions for 2015 show that a levelling off of rates is expected in the USA and a few other countries.

Gastric Cancer: Epidemiology, Risk Factors, Classification, Genomic Characteristics and Treatment Strategies.
TL;DR: Early-onset gastric cancer is a good model to study genetic alterations related to the carcinogenesis process, as young patients are less exposed to environmental carcinogens.

Epidemiology ofHelicobacter pyloriInfection
TL;DR: Medline and PubMed databases were searched on epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori for the period of April 2013–March 2014, confirming low socioeconomic conditions in childhood are confirmed to be the most important risk factors for H.pylori infection.

Epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori Infection
TL;DR: A number of studies confirm that H. pylori prevalence is falling worldwide especially in the developed world and in children but that the level of infection is higher in certain ethnic minorities and in Migrants.

TL;DR: The prevalence of H. pylori infection among 485 healthy asymptomatic volunteers between the ages of 15 and 80 residing in the Houston metropolitan area was investigated and it was found that having pets was associated with a lower frequency, but this was highly associated with higher socioeconomic status.

The Epidemiology of Helicobacter pylori Infection

TL;DR: It is reasonable to conclude that H. pylori is a pathogen in humans, and all of Koch's postulates have been fulfilled, and despite nearly universal initial skepticism, no evidence exists against the hypothesis that the organism plays an etiologic role in type B gastritis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Cohort Effect and Helicobacter pylori
TL;DR: Estimates of seroprevalence adjusted for both age-specific variation and the cohort effect suggest that most seropositivity in adults occurs by the age of 15 years, which indicates that H. pylori infection is becoming less frequent and is predominantly acquired in childhood.

TL;DR: There was considerable variation in the prevalence of infection between the 17 populations but, within populations, low education standard was consistently and positively associated with the prevalenceof infection.
