About

This study intends to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in the population of physical examination centers and communities. The physical examination population from the health management center of the Third Xiangya Hospital and the family-based community residents in Changsha were randomly selected. The H. pylori infection was detected by carbon-13 urea breath test (13C-UBT), and the related factors of H. pylori infection were investigated by questionnaire survey. The study provides supporting evidences to implement family-base H. pylori management to curb its intrafamilial spread. The results have important clinical implications in refinement of eradication strategies and impact on public health policy formulation for related disease prevention.
