摘要
The seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection was studied in a population from two areas of Croatia with significantly different average gastric cancer (GC) cumulative incidence and mortality rates. In a random sample of 456 blood sera from both areas, which was tested with the ELISA Helicobacter pylori-antibody test, 48.8% of people in the north and 53.3% in the south of the country were found to be infected. The difference between the two areas in the seroprevalence of the infection was not statistically significant, nor did their populations differ in age, sex, educational background, smoking habit or wine consumption. Our results do not point to any association between the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection and the level of cumulative incidence and GC mortality levels.
