Estimates of global and regional prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection among individuals with obesity: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Infection 2024:10.1007/s15010-024-02244-7. [PMID: 38594573 DOI: 10.1007/s15010-024-02244-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 03/18/2024] [Indexed: 04/11/2024]
Abstract
PURPOSE The prevalence of obesity is an escalating concern in modern populations, predominantly attributed to the widespread adoption of sedentary lifestyles observed globally. Extensive research has established a significant association between obesity and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). Nonetheless, a comprehensive assessment of the global prevalence of H. pylori among individuals with obesity remains undetermined. METHODS A systematic search strategy was applied to PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The resulting records were screened using the Rayyan online tool for the management of systematic reviews. Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation was used. Subgroup analyses (continent, regional classifications, developmental status, religion, global hemisphere, income, access to international waters, and H. pylori eradication) and multivariate meta-regression (latitude, longitude, male-to-all ratio, mean age, and body mass index) were done to estimate the effects of the moderators. Risk of bias assessment was done using JBI checklist for prevalence studies. RESULTS A total of 472,511 individuals with obesity from 208 studies were included. The global estimation of H. pylori prevalence among individuals with obesity was 32.3% (95% CI 26.9%, 38.0%). South America had the highest prevalence. Based on the different classifications of countries, resource-rich, low-/middle-income, developing, and Islamic countries had the highest prevalence. Lower pooled prevalence was observed in the studies with adequate sample sizes (n ≥ 270). CONCLUSION The findings have the potential to influence future health policies for preventing and treating H. pylori infection. However, there is variability among the included studies, indicating the need for more population-based research.

Haghighi M, Goudarzi M, Babamahmoodi A. A laboratory-based cross-sectional study about helicobacter pylori infection and diabetes. CASPIAN JOURNAL OF INTERNAL MEDICINE 2024; 15:172-175. [PMID: 38463913 PMCID: PMC10921098 DOI: 10.22088/cjim.15.1.20] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2022] [Revised: 08/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/12/2024]
Abstract
Background Despite the numerous articles discussing the relationship between diabetes mellitus type 2 (DMT2) and chronic Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection the results have been inconsistent, necessitating further research. This study investigated the coexistence of Helicobacter pylori infection and DMT2. Methods We conducted a study in selected laboratories in Tehran, measuring the H.Pylori stool antigen (HpSA) in individuals referred by physicians for a glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test. Results Out of the 2500 patients who were referred to randomly selected laboratories, a total of 2025 (81%) patients had serum HbA1c levels above 6.5%. of 2025 patients with HbA1c levels above 6.5%, 1321 (52.84%) had HpSA in their stool. No significant gender difference was observed, with a mean age ± SD, 48.65 ± 7.55. HpSA was positive in 52.84% of the DM group, while in the non-DM group, HpSA was positive in 37.36% of cases. Fecal antigen titers are not related to gender (P = 0.274) but are related to age (r = 0.213, P=0.034). Conclusion Long-term infection with Helicobacter pylori may be significantly associated with elevated HgA1c.Testing for H. pylori infection, regular monitoring of blood sugar and HbA1c levels in high-risk people can prevent DMT2.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review aims to analyse the consistency of reports suggesting the role of Diabetes Mellitus in the pathogenesis of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori). RECENT FINDINGS There have been numerous controversies citing the prevalence of H. pylori infections in patients suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This review investigates the possible crosstalk between H. pylori infections and T2DM and also designs a meta-analysis to quantify the association. Subgroup analyses have also been conducted to deduce factors like geography and testing techniques, in playing a role in stratification analysis. Based on a scientific literature survey and meta-analysis of databases from 1996 to 2022, a trend towards more frequent H. pylori infections in patients with diabetes mellitus was observed. The highly diversified nature of H. pylori infections across age, gender, and geographical regions requires large interventional studies to evaluate its long-term association with diabetes mellitus. Further possible linkage of the prevalence of diabetes mellitus concomitant with that of H. pylori infected patients has also been delineated in the review.

Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) has increasingly been shown to be related to extragastric diseases. Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), an indicator of glycemic control, is closely linked to the event of diabetes. The purpose of this research was to analyze the association between H. pylori and HbA1c through a cohort study. Methods The population who underwent multiple physical checkups in the physical examination center of Taizhou Hospital was included. All of them underwent urea breath test, serological examination and physical parameter measurement. Multiple regression was used for analyzing the influencing factors of HbA1c. In addition, the result of HbA1c on H. pylori infection was studied by restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis. The triglyceride glucose (TyG) index represents the level of insulin resistance (IR) in the population. The population was classified on the basis of primary and last H. pylori infection, therefore, the variations of HbA1c and TyG index among totally different teams were investigated. Results Multiple regression demonstrated that H. pylori was an influential factor in HbA1c. RCS analysis showed a nonlinear relationship between HbA1c and H. pylori infection. When HbA1c>5.7%, the chance of H. pylori infection was considerably enlarged. Additionally, long-term H. pylori infection increased HbA1c levels, while HbA1c levels decreased after H. pylori eradication. Similarly, long-term H. pylori infection also increased the TyG index. Conclusion Prediabetes increases the danger of H. pylori infection, long-term H. pylori infection increases HbA1c and IR levels, and wipeout of H. pylori could have a positive impact for glycemic control in the population.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection occurs in almost half of the world's population, most of whom are merely carriers of this microorganism. H. pylori is shown to be detected more frequently in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) than in the general population, which is accompanied by a significantly increased risk of developing H. pylori-associated diseases. In addition, eradication therapy shows a low efficiency for H. pylori infection in patients with DM. There is a relationship between the level of chronic hyperglycemia and a higher detection rate of H. pylori as well as a lower efficiency of eradication therapy in patients with DM. The exact mechanisms of these phenomena are unknown. The authors make a hypothesis that explains the relationship between chronic hyperglycemia and the increased detection rate of H. pylori, as well as the mechanisms contributing to the improved survival of this bacterium in patients with DM during eradication therapy.

Abstract
Osteoporosis is a common systemic disease of the skeleton, characterized by compromised bone mass and strength, consequently leading to an increased risk of fragility fractures. In women, the disease mainly occurs due to the menopausal fall in estrogen levels, leading to an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation and, consequently, to bone loss and bone fragility. Moreover, osteoporosis may affect men and may occur as a sequela to different diseases or even to their treatments. Despite their wide prevalence in the general population, the skeletal implications of many gastrointestinal diseases have been poorly investigated and their potential contribution to bone fragility is often underestimated in clinical practice. However, proper functioning of the gastrointestinal system appears essential for the skeleton, allowing correct absorption of calcium, vitamins, or other nutrients relevant to bone, preserving the gastrointestinal barrier function, and maintaining an optimal endocrine-metabolic balance, so that it is very likely that most chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and even gastrointestinal dysbiosis, may have profound implications for bone health. In this manuscript, we provide an updated and critical revision of the role of major gastrointestinal disorders in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and fragility fractures.

Abstract
Background The role of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in the development of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) remains controversial. The exact relationship requires further investigation. This study aimed to determine the association between them in China. Methods A retrospective study was conducted on 71,633 participants who underwent physical examinations. 13C urea breath test (13C-UBT) was conducted to detect H. pylori infection, and ultrasonography was used to detect NAFLD. Results Body mass index (BMI), blood pressure (BP), and triglyceride (TG) levels were higher in participants with H. pylori infection than in those without H. pylori infection. While the levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) for participants with H. pylori infection was lower than without H. pylori infection (P < 0.001). After adjusting for confounding factors (age, sex, BMI, BP, Scr, BUN, LDL-C, HDL-C, triglycerides, FBG and HbA1c), multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that there was no independent relationship between them (P = 0.574). Subgroup analysis (stratified by sex, age, BMI, hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidemia) showed that H. pylori infection was not included as an independent risk factor for NAFLD. Moreover, the different grades of NAFLD were not related to H. pylori infection. Conclusions These results indicate that H. pylori infection is not an independent risk factor for NAFLD in China.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori infection is accepted as the leading cause of chronic gastritis, ulcer disease and gastric cancer, with an important impact on health care burden, especially in countries with a high prevalence of infection. The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of H. pylori infection, medication, associated medical conditions or social habits on endoscopic ulcer occurrence in the compensated type 2 diabetic population. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two hundred and sixty type 2 diabetic patients investigated on endoscopy (57 patients with peptic ulcer and 203 controls) with a complete set of biopsies, demographic and medical data were enrolled. RESULTS On univariate regression analysis, H. pylori infection (42.1% vs. 35.5%, p = 0.359) or a history of peptic ulcer (61.4% vs. 61.6%, p = 0.981) was not a predictor for ulcer on endoscopy in the diabetic population, and heartburn was more frequent in diabetics without ulcer (21.2% vs. 8.8%, p = 0.033). Anemia was the best predictor for ulcer on endoscopy in both diabetics with (p < 0.001, OR = 4.77, 95% CI: 2.02-11.28) and without (p = 0.027, OR = 2.76, 95% CI: 1.10-6.91) chronic proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy. In diabetic patients on PPI more than 1 month anticoagulants - acenocoumarol or low-weight molecular heparin (p = 0.038, OR = 2.37, 95% CI: 1.04-5.40), low-dose aspirin 75-125 mg/day (p = 0.029, OR = 2.61, 95% CI: 1.08-6.28) and alcohol consumption (p = 0.015, OR = 2.70, 95% CI: 1.19-6.13) were predictors for ulcer on endoscopy. CONCLUSIONS In diabetic patients, anemia is the most important predictor for ulcer on endoscopy, but not H. pylori or digestive symptoms, while low-dose aspirin or anticoagulant therapy and alcohol consumption are the most important predictors for ulcer in diabetics on chronic proton pump inhibitor therapy.

Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on metabolic parameters in a longitudinal follow-up manner. From August 2013 to August 2019, a community-based prospective study of H. pylori and metabolic syndrome (MetS) was performed in the northeastern region of Taiwan. A total of 1865 subjects were divided into four groups according to the serial results of urea breath test (UBT): new H. pylori infection (group 1, n = 41), null H. pylori infection (group 2, n = 897), loss of H. pylori infection (group 3, n = 369), and persistent H. pylori infection (group 4, n = 558). When comparing the subjects between groups 1 and 2, HBA1c was associated with a new H. pylori infection. Body mass index (BMI) was associated with a loss of H. pylori when comparing subjects between groups 3 and 4. Elevated HBA1c and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels but lower values of cholesterol and white blood cells (WBCs) were found during serial analyses within group 3. Conclusively, HBA1c was associated with a new H. pylori infection. BMI was associated with H. pylori loss. Increased HBA1c and HDL values but decreased values of cholesterol and WBC were associated with a loss of H. pylori infection.

Abstract
Infection with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is necessary but not sufficient for the development of gastric cancer, the third leading cause of cancer death globally. H. pylori infection affects over half of people globally; however, it does not affect populations uniformly. H. pylori infection rates are declining in western industrialized countries but are plateauing in developing and newly industrialized countries where gastric cancer is most prevalent. Despite H. pylori infection being the primary causative agent for gastric cancer, H. pylori infection can also cause other effects, detrimental or beneficial, throughout an individual's life, with the beneficial effects often being seen in childhood and the deleterious effects in adulthood. H. pylori is an ancient bacterium and its likelihood of affecting disease or health is dependent on both human and bacterial genetics that have co-evolved over millennia. In this review, we focus on the impact of infection and its genetic bases in different populations and diseases throughout an individual's lifespan, highlighting the benefits of individualized treatment and argue that universal eradication of H. pylori in its host may cause more harm than good for those infected with H. pylori.

Abstract
Oral microbiome influences human health, specifically prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (Pre-DM/DM) and periodontal diseases (PDs), through complex microbial interactions. To explore these relations, we performed 16S rDNA sequencing, metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics analyses on supragingival dental plaque collected from individuals with Pre-DM/DM (n = 39), Pre-DM/DM and PD (n = 37), PD alone (n = 11), or neither (n = 10). We identified on average 2790 operational taxonomic units and 2025 microbial and host proteins per sample and quantified 110 metabolites and 415 lipids. Plaque samples from Pre-DM/DM patients contained higher abundance of Fusobacterium and Tannerella than plaques from metabolically healthy patients. Phosphatidylcholines, plasmenyl phosphatidylcholines, ceramides containing non-OH fatty acids, and host proteins related to actin filament rearrangement were elevated in plaques from PD versus non-PD samples. Cross-omic correlation analysis enabled the detection of a strong association between Lautropia and monomethyl phosphatidylethanolamine (PE-NMe), which is striking because synthesis of PE-NMe is uncommon in oral bacteria. Lipidomics analysis of in vitro cultures of Lautropia mirabilis confirmed the synthesis of PE-NMe by the bacteria. This comprehensive analysis revealed a novel microbial metabolic pathway and significant associations of host-derived proteins with PD. Patients with periodontal disease or diabetes have unique microbial dysbiosis. Proteomics and 16S data provide complementary information about microbial diversity. Cross-omic correlation reveals host signatures associated with periodontal disease. Multi-omic data lead to finding about microbially synthesized lipids.

Abstract
Obesity, as a major risk factor of metabolic syndrome (MetS), represents a pandemic, especially in Western societies, and is considered a risk factor for malignancies. Helicobacter pylori (Hp), is a definite carcinogen with global distribution. We aimed to investigate, for the first time in Switzerland, the main gastric mucosa premalignant histological lesions of bariatric patients in correlation with MetS components and Hp Infection (Hp-I). By reviewing retrospectively 94304 patient cases, a total of 116 eligible patients having undergone bariatric surgery were identified. The mean patient age was 48.66 years. Hp(+) patients were 24% (28/116). Presence of gastric mucosa atrophy was documented in 8/28 Hp(+) patients (29%) and (2/88) Hp(-) ones (2%) (p = 0.006). Gastric mucosa intestinal metaplasia was observed in 14/28 (50%) Hp(+) patients versus 3/88 (3.4%) of Hp(-) group (p < 0.0001). Hp(+) patients exhibited statistically higher arterial hypertension (p = 0.033). The homeostatic model of assessment insulin resistance was also statistically significantly higher for the Hp(+) group (p < 0.001). In a multivariate analysis, including arterial hypertension, gastric mucosa atrophy, and intestinal metaplasia as variables, statistical significance remained only for intestinal metaplasia (p = 0.001). In conclusion, Hp-I is associated with premalignant gastric mucosa histologic lesions and MetS components, including arterial hypertension and IR. Further large-scale prospective studies are required to confirm these findings.

Abstract
This study examined differences in glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting plasma glucose and cholesterol levels between H. pylori infected and uninfected persons with diabetes. Anonymized data of Maccabi Healthcare Services in Israel were analyzed, of 12,207 individuals (50.0% H. pylori positive) aged 25–95 years who underwent the urea breath test. The data included HbA1c, fasting plasma glucose and cholesterol levels. The inverse probability of treatment weighting approach was used to account for confounders. Differences between individuals who were H. pylori positive and negative, in HbA1c (> or ≤ 7.0%) and in cholesterol levels were assessed using weighted generalized estimating equations. For men, but not women, the likelihood of having HbA1c > 7.0% was increased in those infected than uninfected with H. pylori: prevalence ratio 1.11 (95% CI 1.00, 1.24), P = 0.04. For both sexes, total cholesterol (P = 0.004) and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels (P = 0.006) were higher among those infected than uninfected with H. pylori. No significant differences were found in glucose and HDL levels according to H. pylori infection. The results were consistent in unweighted multivariable analyses. In conclusion, H. pylori infection might be related to worse glycemic control in men, and higher total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in both sexes.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is a common and persistent disorder acting as a major cofactor for the development of upper gastrointestinal diseases and several extraintestinal disorders including osteoporosis. However, no prospective study assessed the effects of HP on bone health and fracture risk. We performed a HP screening in a population-based cohort of 1149 adults followed prospectively for up to 11 years. The presence of HP infection was assessed by serologic testing for serum antibodies to HP and the cytotoxin associated gene-A (CagA). The prevalence of HP infection did not differ among individuals with normal bone mineral density (BMD), osteoporosis, and osteopenia. However, HP infection by CagA-positive strains was significantly increased in osteoporotic (30%) and osteopenic (26%) patients respect to subjects with normal BMD (21%). Moreover, anti-CagA antibody levels were significantly and negatively associated with lumbar and femoral BMD. Consistent with these associations, patients affected by CagA-positive strains had a more than fivefold increased risk to sustain a clinical vertebral fracture (HR 5.27; 95% CI, 2.23-12.63; p < .0001) and a double risk to sustain a nonvertebral incident fracture (HR 2.09; 95% CI, 1.27-2.46; p < .005). Reduced estrogen and ghrelin levels, together with an impaired bone turnover balance after the meal were also observed in carriers of CagA-positive HP infection. HP infection by strains expressing CagA may be considered a risk factor for osteoporosis and fractures. Further studies are required to clarify in more detail the underlying pathogenetic mechanisms of this association. © 2020 American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori (H pylori) immunoglobulin G (IgG) seropositivity is prevalent but its relation with leukocyte telomere length (LTL), a cellular aging biomarker, is unclear. METHODS Among 3,472 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) cycle 1999-2000, LTL was measured with the quantitative polymerase chain reaction. H pylori IgG was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays and defined as seropositivity with an immune status ratio score > 0.9. We used linear regression models to examine the relation of H pylori IgG seropositivity with continuous LTL and logistic regression for the relation with short LTL (<10th percentile of the population distribution) adjusting for potential confounders. We stratified the analyses by a priori selected variables. RESULTS Population prevalence of H pylori IgG seropositivity was 31.5% in the overall population with higher prevalence found in those with older age, other races than non-Hispanic whites, lower education, and being born out of the United States. Continuous LTL was non-significantly shorter in those with H Pylori IgG seropositivity versus seronegativity (mean difference = -40.3 bp, 95% CI: -112.4, 31.9). This difference was not significant after adjusting for potential confounders nor stratifying by potential effect modifiers. H Pylori IgG seropositivity was significantly associated with short LTL among the elderly (55-75 years, adjusted OR: 3.06, 95% CI: 1.17, 7.99), but not in the overall population (OR: 1.28, 95% CI: 0.81-2.02). CONCLUSION H Pylori IgG seropositivity was not associated with continuous LTL in the general population but may be associated with an excessively short LTL in the elderly.

Abstract
Background Recent studies have found an association between Helicobacter pylori infection and prediabetes. Whether H. pylori per se or host factors are involved in the disturbance of glycated hemoglobin needs further investigation. The aim of this study was to determine the association of glycated hemoglobin levels with endoscopic diagnosis and the inflammatory response in H. pylori infection. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in 88 dyspeptic non-diabetic adults who underwent esophagogastroduodenoscopy. The diagnosis of H. pylori infection was performed through urease test and histopathological exam. Cases were initially distributed into two groups: control (without H. pylori infection, n = 22) and HP (patients with H. pylori infection, n = 66). HbA1c was measured to determine prediabetes status according to the American Diabetes Association criteria, and then the groups were subdivided into non-prediabetic (n = 14), prediabetic (n = 8), non-prediabetic HP (n = 26) and prediabetic HP (n = 40) groups. Gastric mucosa was histologically evaluated to determine H. pylori density and inflammatory activity according to Sydney System. To investigate the balance of anti-inflammatory and pro-inflammatory cytokines we measured interleukin 10 (anti-inflammatory) and Tumor Necrosis Factor-a (pro-inflammatory) in the plasma or in the gastric mucosa. Results Patients with H. pylori infection had higher mean HbA1c levels than those without H. pylori infection. However, increased HbA1c levels were not associated with H. pylori-related factors but with the bacterial density, the intensity of inflammation and the activity of the chronic gastritis. In addition, H. pylori infection per se did not alter IL-10 and TNF-α neither in the plasma nor in the gastric mucosa, but the bacterial density was negatively correlated with systemic and local IL-10 expression. Although no correlation was found between systemic cytokines and HbA1c levels, local anti-inflammatory cytokine was correlated with HbA1c levels. Conclusion Long-term H. pylori infection is associated with prediabetes. This association is not related to the presence of H. pylori per se but depends on the extent of bacterial colonization and the degree of both local inflammation and activity of the chronic gastritis.

Abstract
Diabetic mellitus patients are usually prone to chronic infections. However, there have been contradictory reports about the association between H. pylori infection and type II diabetes. The present study is aimed at evaluating the prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection among type 2 dyspeptic diabetic patients in the littoral region of Cameroon. This cross sectional study comprised 93 type 2 diabetic dyspeptic patients and 112 non-diabetic dyspeptic patients attending the Gastroenterology Department at two reference hospitals in Douala-Cameroon. The study was approved by the local Ethical Committee of Medical Sciences. Participants were screened for the presence of both type 2 diabetes and H. pylori infection. Body mass index (BMI) of all the participants was also recorded. Data was analyzed using SSPS statistical package. H. pylori infection was found in 73.11% of diabetic patients versus 58.05% in non-diabetic participants, this difference was found to be significant (OR = 1.472, p = 0.0279). This relationship persists even when adjusted to factors such as age and income level of participants. Infected participants from age group ≥ 55 years and those with high income were those with a higher risk to develop diabetes. Infected patients with high BMI were more prone to develops diabetic mellitus compared with infected patients with normal BMI (p = 0.0034). Also, participant with high BMI were more prone to develops diabetic mellitus whether they were infected or not. Patients having both H. pylori + ve and BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 were significantly more affected by diabetic mellitus than those in the others combined groups (p < 0.0001), suggested that high BMI and H. pylori infection together or not are factors that favor diabetes mellitus development. Separately or not, H. pylori infection and high BMI were risk factor for diabetes mellitus in our milieu.

Abstract
Background There are several studies with varied and mixed results about the possible relationship between H. pylori and diabetes. Therefore, this current meta-analysis performed to determine the association between H. pylori infection and the risk of diabetes mellitus. Methods A systematic literature searches of international databases, including Medline (PubMed), Web of Sciences, Scopus, EMBASE, and CINHAL (January 1990–March 2019) was conducted to identify studies investigating the relationship between H. pylori infection and diabetes mellitus. Only case–control studies were analyzed using odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Stratified and subgroup analyses were performed to explore heterogeneity between studies and assess effects of study quality. Logarithm and standard error logarithm odds ratio (OR) were also used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 41 studies involving 9559 individuals (case; 4327 and control; 5232) were analyzed. The pooled estimate of the association between H. pylori infection with diabetes was OR = 1.27 (95% CI 1.11 to 1.45, P = 0.0001, I2 = 86.6%). The effect of H. pylori infection on diabetes mellitus (both types), type 1 and type 2 diabetes was 1.17 (95% CI 0.94 to 1.45), 1.19 (95% CI 0.98 to 1.45), and 1.43 (95% CI 1.11 to 1.85) respectively. Subgroup analysis by the geographical regions showed in Asian population risk of the effect of H. pylori infection on diabetes was slightly higher than other population, Conclusion In overall a positive association between H. pylori infection and diabetes mellitus was found.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Reports on Helicobacter pylori infection in diabetics are inconsistent and contradictory. This study attempted to identify the possible association between type 2 diabetes and H. pylori infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS Following a cross-sectional design, participants were recruited from four National Guard Primary Health Care Centers in Jeddah City, Saudi Arabia. The study was conducted from December 2017 to November 2018. All participants underwent hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c) assessment and stool antigen test for H. pylori. RESULTS A total of 212 type 2 diabetic patients aged 40 years or more, and 209 age-matched nondiabetic subjects were included in the study. About one-quarter of the diabetics and nondiabetics were positive for H. pylori (26.9% and 26.3%, respectively). There was no significant difference. The prevalence of H. pylori did not differ significantly in the type 2 diabetics, with regard to their age groups, gender, smoking status, body mass index, chronic diseases, their HbA1c level, duration of diabetes, or received type of therapy. The prevalence of H. pylori was significantly higher in overweight and obese nondiabetic subjects (P = 0.013). Obese participants in both groups had the highest prevalence of infection (57.9% and 54.5%, respectively, P = 0.038). CONCLUSION About one-quarter of type 2 diabetics and nondiabetics in Jeddah City have H. pylori infection. There is no association between diabetes and H. pylori infection. H. pylori was significantly higher in patients with a high body mass index.

Abstract
Research on Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a pathogenic bacterium that is widespread among humans, is investigating the medical implications of the infection in many fields beyond gastroenterology. Because of the ubiquitous presence of the infection, there is an increasing interest in finding a relationship between this bacterium and diabetes mellitus (DM). It is not clear whether a significant relation between H. pylori and DM exists, whether the infection influences diabetes or vice versa, and the mechanisms underlying such a relationship. This review provides an analysis of new insights from studies published in more recent years. New research on this topic concentrated on the common pathogenic aspects between the bacterium and insulin resistance or autoimmunity, on the role of the bacterial infection in cardiovascular risk and whether the infection worsen glycemic outcomes in patients with DM. Research in this field still has to conclusively assess and explain the existence of a possible relationship between H. pylori and DM. Some studies have reached antithetic conclusions. Unless more robust data from studies using consistent research methods become available in the near future, people with diabetes should be compared to the general population when it comes to investigating and treating the presence of H. pylori.

AIMS/INTRODUCTION Several epidemiological studies investigated the effect of Helicobacter pylori infection on diabetes, but the conclusions remained inconsistent. We aimed to explore the relationship between H. pylori infection and diabetes, as well as glycemic metabolism profiles. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study including 58,482 Chinese adults was carried out between January 2016 and December 2017. H. pylori infection was diagnosed by the 13 C-urea breath test. Multivariate regression analyses were carried out to evaluate the association of H. pylori infection with diabetes. RESULTS Of the 58,482 participants, 3,449 (5.9%) had diabetes. The H. pylori-positive participants had a higher rate of diabetes (7.3% vs 5.2%, P < 0.001), and higher levels of fasting plasma glucose (5.36 ± 1.12 mmol/L vs 5.28 ± 0.95 mmol/L, P < 0.001) and glycated hemoglobin A1c (5.63 ± 0.68% vs 5.57 ± 0.60%, P < 0.001) than the H. pylori negative group. Multivariate regression analyses showed that H. pylori infection was positively related to diabetes (odds ratio 1.25, 95% confidence interval 1.15-1.35). Among the H. pylori-positive participants, the elevated levels of fasting plasma glucose and glycated hemoglobin A1c were 0.033 mmol/L (95% confidence interval 0.016-0.049 mmol/L) and 0.024% (95% confidence interval 0.008-0.041%), respectively. Additionally, H. pylori infection was significantly related to diabetes in participants aged ≥44 years, but not in participants aged <44 years. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed that H. pylori infection is associated with diabetes among Chinese adults. More attention should be paid to adults with H. pylori infection for effective prevention of diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies suggest an association between H. pylori infection and extragastrointestinal disease. Limited studies provided conflicting results on the association between H. pylori infection and diabetes. The present study was aimed at examining the association between H. pylori infection and diabetes in a large health checkup population in China. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted; participants who attended health checkups at Beijing MJ Health Screening Center during 2017-2018 were included. H. pylori infection was diagnosed by 13C-urea breath test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate the association between H. pylori infection and diabetes. RESULTS The mean age of 13,397 participants was 43.8 ± 12 years. The prevalence of H. pylori infection and diabetes was 28.2% and 8.1%, respectively. The prevalence of diabetes was higher among H. pylori-positive participants compared with their counterparts (8.9% vs 7.8%, p = 0.05). After adjustment of age, sex, family history of diabetes, smoking, education, stroke, coronary heart disease, BMI, SBP, TG, HDL-C, and LDL-C, multivariate logistic regression analysis found no association between H. pylori infection and diabetes (OR 1.02, 95% CI 0.88-1.18). Additionally, subgroup analysis indicated that H. pylori infection was significantly associated with increased risk of diabetes in the female group (OR 1.09, 95% CI 1.08-1.09). CONCLUSIONS No significant association was found between H. pylori infection and diabetes. However, the subgroup analysis suggested that H. pylori infection was possibly associated with increased risk of diabetes among females. Future cohort studies are needed to verify this association in females and to address possible implication in the prevention of diabetes.

Nutrients 2019; 11:nu11081874. [PMID: 31409000 PMCID: PMC6723734 DOI: 10.3390/nu11081874] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/30/2019] [Revised: 08/06/2019] [Accepted: 08/09/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) may be involved in diabetes and other insulin-related processes. This study aimed to investigate the associations between H. pylori infection and the risks of type 2 diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), diabetic nephropathy, and poor glycemic control. We retrospectively evaluated 16,091 subjects without diabetes at baseline who underwent repeated health examinations. Subjects were categorized according to whether they were seropositive and seronegative for H. pylori infection. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated using Cox proportional hazard models. The serological results were validated using an independent cohort (n = 42,351) based on a histological diagnosis of H. pylori infection. During 108,614 person-years of follow-up, 1338 subjects (8.3%) developed newly diagnosed diabetes, although the cumulative incidence of diabetes was not significantly related to serological H. pylori status. The multivariate Cox proportional-hazards regression models revealed that H. pylori seropositivity was not significantly associated with diabetes (HR: 1.01, 95% CI: 0.88–1.16; p = 0.854), IGT (HR: 0.98, 95% CI: 0.93–1.04; p = 0.566), diabetic nephropathy (HR: 0.99, 95% CI: 0.82–1.21; p = 0.952), or poor glycemic control (HR: 1.05, 95% CI: 0.90–1.22; p = 0.535). Similarly, histopathological findings of H. pylori infection were not significantly associated with diabetes (p = 0.311), diabetic nephropathy (p = 0.888), or poor glycemic control (p = 0.989). The findings from these large Korean cohorts indicate that there does not appear to be a role for past H. pylori infection in the development of diabetes, IGT, diabetic nephropathy, or poor glycemic control.

Helicobacter pylori eradication improves glycemic control in type 2 diabetes patients with asymptomatic active Helicobacter pylori infection. J Diabetes Investig 2019; 10:1092-1101. [PMID: 30556347 PMCID: PMC6626959 DOI: 10.1111/jdi.12991] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/08/2018] [Revised: 12/04/2018] [Accepted: 12/13/2018] [Indexed: 12/29/2022] Open
Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with insulin resistance and glycemia in non-diabetes. However, the relationship between H. pylori infection and glycemia in diabetes remains inconclusive. Therefore, we explored the effect of H. pylori infection status and its eradication on glycemic control and antidiabetic therapy in type 2 diabetes patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 549 diabetes patients were recruited for sequential two-step approach (immunoglobulin G [IgG] serology followed by 13 C-urea breath test [UBT]) to discriminate "active" (IgG+ and UBT+) from "non-active" (UBT- or IgG-) H. pylori infection, and "past" (IgG+ but UBT-) from "never/remote" (IgG-) infection. The differences in hemoglobin A1c (A1C) and antidiabetic regimens between groups were compared. In the "active" infection group, the differences in A1C changes between participants with and without 10-day eradication therapy were compared after 3 months. RESULTS Despite no between-group difference in A1C, the "active" infection group (n = 208) had significantly more prescriptions of oral antidiabetic drug classes (2.1 ± 1.1 vs 1.8 ± 1.1, P = 0.004) and higher percentages of sulfonylurea use (67.3% vs 50.4%, P < 0.001) than the "non-active" infection group (n = 341). There were no differences in A1C and oral antidiabetic drug classes between "past" (n = 111) and "never/remote" infection groups (n = 230). Compared with the non-eradication group (n = 99), the eradication group (n = 98) had significant within-group (-0.17 ± 0.80%, P = 0.036) and between-group (-0.23 ± 0.10%, P = 0.024) improvements in A1C. CONCLUSIONS Diabetes patients with active H. pylori infection need higher glycemic treatment intensity to achieve comparable glycemia. Furthermore, H. pylori eradication decreases A1C, and thus improves glycemic control.

Abstract
Purpose: To assess the difference of the first-line therapy for Helicobacter pylori in patients with or without type 2 diabetes (DM) and to investigate the clinical factors influencing treatment outcomes. Patients and methods: In total, 719 patients with H. pylori infection were treated with 7-day standard first-line triple therapy, of whom 182 did and 537 did not have DM. Propensity score matched at a 1:2 ratio - for age, sex and body mass index was performed for the two groups, yielding a DM group with 147 patients and a non-DM group with 249 matched controls for analysis. Urea breath test was performed 6-8 weeks after treatment. Clinical and laboratory parameters were collected for identifying factors associated with failed eradication. Results: H. Pylori was eradicated in 74.1% (95% confidence interval [CI] =66.2-81.0) of the DM group and 85.3% (95% CI =80.8-89.4) of the non-DM group (p=0.005). Of 51 gastric biopsy samples cultured for H. pylori, 41 were positive. In the DM group, the rates of resistance to amoxicillin, clarithromycin, levofloxacin, and tetracycline were 0%, 50.0%, 50.0% and 0%, respectively. In the non-DM group, the comparable proportions were 2.9%, 17.1%, 22.9%, and 0%, respectively. Univariate analysis revealed that DM (Odds ratio [OR], 1.771, 95% CI, 1.167-2.668, p=0.006), clarithromycin resistance (OR, 15.273; 95% CI, 1.687-138.269; p=0.015), and amoxicillin resistance (OR, 4.672; 95% CI, 2.431-8.979; p<0.001) were independently associated with failure to eradicate H. pylori. Multivariate analysis showed that clarithromycin resistance was the major factor independently associated with failure of eradication (OR, 25.472; 95% CI, 1.549-418.956; p=0.023). Conclusions: First-line H. pylori eradication rates in patients with DM were significantly lower than in those without DM, although neither group achieved >90% eradication.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common human pathogens that can cause gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, including simple gastritis, gastric ulcer, and malignant gastritis. In some cases, such as immunodeficiency and underlying diseases, it can be problematic as opportunistic infections. Diabetes mellitus (type 2) (T2DM) is one of the H. pylori underlying diseases. Since GI problems are observed in diabetic patients, it is necessary to treat H. pylori infection. In this review, we aimed to evaluate the possible relationship between H. pylori and T2DM according to epidemiological surveys of 70 studies retrieved from databases, including Scopus, PubMed, and Google Scholar about the relationship between H. pylori and T2DM, and discuss the reported background mechanisms of this correlation. According to the results of our study, the different studies have shown that H. pylori is more prevalent in Type 2 diabetic patients than healthy individuals or nondiabetic patients. The reason is development of H. pylori infection-induced inflammation and production of inflammatory cytokines as well as different hormonal imbalance by this bacterium, which are associated with diabetes mellitus. On the other hand, by tracing anti-H. pylori antibodies in patients with diabetes mellitus and occurrence of symptoms such as digestive problems in >75% of these patients, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between this bacterium and T2DM. Considering the evidence, it is crucially important that the probability of infection with H. pylori is evaluated in patients with T2DM so that medical process of the patient is followed with higher cautious.

Abstract
Objective: To compare Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
eradication rate of type 2 diabetic patients with non-diabetic subjects. Methods: In this multicenter prospective observational study, H.
pylori-infected subjects were enrolled from three
university-affiliated hospitals. Eradication regimen was triple therapy with
standard dose of proton pump inhibitors (b.i.d), amoxicillin (1.0 g b.i.d),
and clarithromycin (500 mg b.i.d) for 7 days. Urea breath test was performed
4 weeks after treatment. Various clinical and laboratory data were collected
for identification of factors associated with successful eradication. Results: Totally, 144 subjects were enrolled and 119 (85 non-diabetic and 34 diabetic
patients) were finally analyzed. Eradication rate was 75.6% and there was no
difference between diabetic patients and non-diabetic subjects (73.5% vs
76.5%, p value: 0.814). Adverse drug reactions were
reported in 44.5% of patients. In multivariate analysis for predicting
H. pylori eradication in diabetic patients, HbA1c
(⩾7.5%) was a significant factor affecting eradication rate (adjusted odds
ratio: 0.100, 95% confidence interval: 0.011–0.909, p
value: 0.041). Conclusion: Diabetes itself is not a major factor affecting H. pylori
eradication. However, poor glucose control may harmfully affect H.
pylori eradication.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori is one of the most common human pathogens and it has been estimated that about 50% of the world's population is currently infected. The present consensus is that, unless there are compelling reasons, all H. pylori infections should be cured. Since the 1990s, different national and international guidelines for the management of H. pylori-related diseases have been published and periodically updated regarding indications for treatment, diagnostic procedures, and preferred treatment regimens. Most guidelines provide sophisticated meta-analyses examining the outcome of different regimens done in regions with variable, often high rates of resistance to antibiotics, for which the prevalence and effects of resistance was often ignored. Although successful antimicrobial therapy must be susceptibility-based, increasing antimicrobial resistance and general unavailability of susceptibility testing have required clinicians to generally rely on empiric regimens. Antibiotics resistance of H. pylori has reached alarming high levels worldwide, which has an effect to efficacy of treatment. The recommendations should provide regimes for multi-resistant infections or for those where susceptibility testing is unavailable or refused. The first rule is to use only proven locally effective therapies. Because of patient intolerances, drug allergies, and local experiences, the clinicians should have at least two options for first-line therapy. As with any antimicrobial therapy, a thorough review of prior antibiotic use is invaluable to identify the presence of probably resistance. The second key is patient education regarding potential and expected side-effects and the importance of completing the course of antibiotics. We also review here triple therapies, sequential-concomitant, hybrid therapies, bismuth therapies, dual therapy, vonoprazan, modern antibiotic treatments, probiotics and vaccination.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection is very common and affects approximately half of the world population. It causes gastric diseases, but some authors have reported an association of H. pylori infection with other systemic manifestations beginning in 1994. The list of potential effects of H. pylori outside the stomach includes a number of extragastric manifestations and we focused on neurological, dermatological, hematologic, ocular, cardiovascular, metabolic, allergic, and hepatobiliary diseases. This review discusses these important reported manifestations that are not related to the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
Helicobacter pylori causes several gastrointestinal diseases and may also contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Several studies suggest that there might be a potential link between H. pylori infection and T2D, but it still remains the subject of debate. Here, we first report the cumulative effect of H. pylori infection and T2D by exploiting the excretion kinetics of 13C/12C and 18O/16O isotope ratios of exhaled breath CO2 in response to an oral dose of 13C-enriched glucose in individuals with T2D and non-diabetic controls (NDC) harbouring the H. pylori infection. Using a high-resolution integrated cavity output spectroscopy (ICOS) technique in the infrared region, we observed that the isotopic fractionations of 13C and 18O in breath CO2 are distinctly altered in H. pylori infected T2D patients as well as in H. pylori infected NDC. Several optimal diagnostic cut-off points of 13C and 18O isotopes of breath CO2 were also determined which exhibited the diagnostic sensitivity and specificity of ∼97 % and thus suggesting that breath 13C and 18O isotopes might be considered as potential biomarkers for the non-invasive assessment of the gastric pathogen prior to the onset of T2D. This may open a new diagnostic strategy for treating these common diseases in an alternative way.

Association between gastrointestinal tract infections and glycated hemoglobin in school children of poor neighborhoods in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. PLoS Negl Trop Dis 2018; 12:e0006332. [PMID: 29543807 PMCID: PMC5871004 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pntd.0006332] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/18/2017] [Revised: 03/27/2018] [Accepted: 02/21/2018] [Indexed: 12/11/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Low- and middle-income countries are facing a dual disease burden with infectious diseases (e.g., gastrointestinal tract infections) and non-communicable diseases (e.g., diabetes) being common. For instance, chronic parasite infections lead to altered immune regulatory networks, anemia, malnutrition, and diarrhea with an associated shift in the gut microbiome. These can all be pathways of potential relevance for insulin resistance and diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between common gastrointestinal tract infections and glycemia in children from non-fee paying schools in South Africa. Methodology We conducted a cross-sectional survey among 9- to 14-year-old school children in Port Elizabeth. Stool and urine samples were collected to assess infection status with parasitic worms (e.g., Ascaris lumbricoides, Enterobius vermicularis, and Trichuris trichiura), intestinal protozoa (e.g., Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia intestinalis), and the bacterium Helicobacter pylori. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured in finger prick derived capillary blood. All children at schools with a high prevalence of helminth infections and only infected children at the schools with low infection rates were treated with albendazole. The association of anthelmintic treatment with changes in HbA1c 6 months after the drug intervention was also investigated. Findings A high prevalence of 71.8% of prediabetes was measured in this group of children, with only 27.8% having HbA1c in the normal range. H. pylori was the predominant infectious agent and showed an independent positive association with HbA1c in a multivariable regression analysis (β = 0.040, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.006–0.073, p<0.05). No association of HbA1c with either any other infectious agent or albendazole administration was found. Conclusion The role of H. pylori in diabetes needs confirmation in the context of longitudinal treatment interventions. The specific effect of other gastrointestinal tract infections on glycemia remains unclear. Future studies should integrate the measurement of biomarkers, including immunological parameters, to shed light on the potential mediating mechanisms between parasite infections and diabetes. Parasitic worms (e.g., pinworm, roundworm, and whipworm), intestinal protozoa (e.g., Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia intestinalis), and the bacterium Helicobacter pylori persist at high rates in the gastrointestinal tract of people from low- and middle-income countries. These infectious agents are increasingly paralleled by high rates of non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes. We studied the association of glycemia, measured as HbA1c with common gastrointestinal tract infections among school children aged 9–14 years from disadvantaged neighborhoods in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. Our goal was to deepen the understanding of whether specific gastrointestinal tract infections might be early life determinants of elevated HbA1c levels that might lead to diabetes. We found that the bacterium H. pylori was very common among our group of children with a positive association with hyperglycemia. None of the other infectious agents showed such an association. Additional, longitudinal studies are needed to determine whether there is causality for the observed association between H. pylori and hyperglycemia. The integration of biomarkers will allow studying mediating mechanisms.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the association of Helicobacter pylori infection and BMI are conflicting. The fact that both H. pylori infection and BMI are associated with low socioeconomic status (SES) makes this relationship difficult to characterize. MATERIALS AND METHODS We aimed to evaluate the association between BMI and H. pylori infection after adjusting for multiple covariates. We analyzed a cohort of 235 107 individuals aged 18 years or older, who performed a C urease breath test (C-UBT), from 2007 to 2014. Data on BMI, age, sex, SES, ethnicity, and medications were extracted from a nationwide population-based database. BMIs were classified according to the WHO recommendations: underweight (<18.5 kg/m), normal weight (18.5-24.9 kg/m), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m), obese class I (30-34.9 kg/m), and obese class II or more (>35 kg/m). STUDY RESULTS The positivity rate for H. pylori among underweight, normal weight, overweight, and obese class I and class II or more was 55.6, 58.5, 63.0, 64.5, and 65.5%, respectively (P<0.001, Plinear trend 0.007). The association between BMI and H. pylori infection was significant across all SES, sex, ethnicity, and age categories. After adjusting for age, sex, ethnicity, and SES, being overweight and obese class I and class II or more were associated significantly with H. pylori positivity: odds ratio 1.13 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.11-1.15], 1.14 (95% CI: 1.11-1.17), and 1.15 (95% CI: 1.11-1.19), respectively, P value less than 0.001 for all. CONCLUSION Among individuals who were referred to a C-UBT by primary care physician, after adjusting for multiple covariates including SES, we found a positive association between H. pylori infection and an increased BMI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Both H. pylori infection and diabetes increase the risk of gastric cancer. This study investigated whether patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and H. pylori infection had more severe corpus gastric inflammation and higher prevalence of precancerous lesions than non-diabetic controls. METHODS A total of 797 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were screened for H. pylori, of whom 264 had H. pylori infection. Of these patients, 129 received esophagogastroduodenoscopy to obtain topographic gastric specimens for gastric histology according to the modified Updated Sydney System, corpus-predominant gastritis index (CGI), Operative Link on Gastritis Assessment, and Operative Link on Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia Assessment. Non-diabetic dyspeptic patients who had H. pylori infection confirmed by esophagogastroduodenoscopy were enrolled as controls. RESULTS The male as well as total T2DM patients had higher acute/chronic inflammatory and lymphoid follicle scores in the corpus than non-diabetic controls (p < 0.05). In contrast, the female T2DM patients had higher chronic inflammatory scores in the antrum than the controls (p < 0.05). In T2DM patients, the males had significantly higher rates of CGI than the females (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that male patients (odds ratio: 2.28, 95% confidence interval: 1.11-4.69, p = 0.025) and non-insulin users (odds ratio: 0.33, 95% confidence interval: 0.15-0.74, p = 0.007) were independent factors for the presence of CGI in the H. pylori-infected patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. CONCLUSIONS Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and H. pylori infection had more severe corpus gastric inflammation than non-diabetic controls. Moreover, male gender and non-insulin users of T2DM patients were predisposed to have corpus-predominant gastritis after H. pylori infection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Long-term persistent Helicobacter pylori infection has been associated with ulceropeptic disease and gastric cancer. Although H. pylori is predominantly acquired early in life, a clear understanding of infection dynamics during childhood has been obfuscated by the diversity of populations evaluated, study designs, and methods used. AIM Update understanding of true prevalence of H. pylori infection during childhood, based on a critical analysis of the literature published in the past 5 years. METHODS Comprehensive review and meta-analysis of original studies published from 2011 to 2016. RESULTS A MEDLINE® /PubMed® search on May 1, 2016, using the terms pylori and children, and subsequent exclusion, based on abstract review using predefined criteria, resulted in 261 citations. An Embase® search with the same criteria added an additional 8 citations. In healthy children, meta-analysis estimated an overall seroprevalence rate of 33% (95% CI: 27%-38%). Seven healthy cohort studies using noninvasive direct detection methods showed infection prevalence estimates ranging from 20% to 50% in children ≤5 and 38% to 79% in children >5 years. The probability of infection persistence after a first positive sample ranged from 49% to 95%. Model estimates of cross-sectional direct detection studies in asymptomatic children indicated a prevalence of 37% (95% CI: 30%-44%). Seroprevalence, but not direct detection rates increased with age; both decreased with increasing income. The model estimate based on cross-sectional studies in symptomatic children was 39% (95% CI: 35%-43%). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of H. pylori infection varied widely in the studies included here; nevertheless, model estimates by detection type were similar, suggesting that overall, one-third of children worldwide are or have been infected. The few cohort and longitudinal studies available show variability, but most studies, show infection rates over 30%. Rather surprisingly, overall infection prevalence in symptomatic children was only slightly higher, around 40%. Studies including only one positive stool sample should be interpreted with caution as spontaneous clearance can occur.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the association between H. pylori infection and risk of incident diabetes in adults at high risk for diabetes who participated in the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) study. METHODS In a nested case-control study conducted among 421 adults with newly diagnosed diabetes and 421 matched controls, we examined the association between serological status of H. pylori at baseline and risk of incident diabetes over a mean follow-up period of 2.6years. Using data from the baseline visit of the DPP, we also examined the cross-sectional association between presence of H. pylori antibodies and insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion and the disposition index-like measure after a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). RESULTS At baseline, H. pylori antibodies were present in 40% of participants who developed diabetes and 39% of controls. After adjusting for matching factors, there was no association between exposure to H. pylori and incident diabetes (odds ratio [OR] of 1.04 (95% CI, 0.77 to 1.40). In cross-sectional analyses, H. pylori status was not significantly associated with insulin sensitivity and disposition index-like measure from OGTT. CONCLUSIONS In adults at high risk for diabetes, H. pylori seropositivity was not associated with risk of developing diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study investigated whether levofloxacin-containing concomitant therapy can effectively eradicate Helicobacter pylori infection in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A total of 797 T2DM patients were screened for anti-H. pylori IgG antibodies, and the presence of H. pylori infection was confirmed by 13C-urea breath test. We prospectively randomized 114 of these patients to receive either 10 d of levofloxacin-concomitant therapy (n = 55) or sequential therapy (n = 59). Antimicrobial resistance of H. pylori isolates collected from the patients with T2DM (n = 109) and dyspeptic controls without DM (n = 110) was determined using the E-test. This study was approved by our Institutional Review Board (A-BR-103-021). RESULTS The H. pylori eradication rates with concomitant therapy were higher than sequential therapy in both intention-to-treat (96.4% versus 81.4%, p = 0.012) and per-protocol (100% versus 85.4%, p = 0.006) analysis. The adverse effects in both groups were similarly mild. In the patients who received sequential therapy, clarithromycin resistance was significantly associated with eradication failure (p = 0.02). There were no significant differences in the antibiotic-resistant rates to amoxicillin, clarithromycin, metronidazole, tetracycline, and levofloxacin between the patients with and without T2DM. CONCLUSIONS Ten days of levofloxacin-containing concomitant therapy is an effective and well-tolerated treatment to eradicate H. pylori infection for T2DM patients. Key messages Ten days of levofloxacin-containing concomitant therapy is well tolerated and superior to clarithromycin-containing sequential therapy for first-line H. pylori eradication in patients with type 2 diabetes. Clarithromycin resistance to H. pylori is the main factor associated with eradication failure in clarithromycin-containing sequential therapy in diabetic patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence is conflicting regarding the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and diabetes mellitus. The study objective was to examine associations of H. pylori infection, gastric ulcers and duodenal ulcers, with diabetes mellitus. METHODS This cross-sectional study was undertaken using coded data from the computerized database of Maccabi Health Services in Israel, on 147,936 individuals aged 25-95 years who underwent the urea breath test during 2002-2012. Multiple logistic regression models were conducted, while adjusting for known risk factors for diabetes mellitus. RESULTS A H. pylori positive test was recorded for 76,992 (52.0%) individuals and diabetes for 12,207 (8.3%). The prevalence of diabetes was similar in individuals with and without H. pylori infection, but this association was modified (P for heterogeneity 0.049) by body mass index (BMI): adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 1.16 (95% confidence intervals (CI) 1.04-1.29) in persons with BMI<25 kg/m2 versus aOR 1.03 (95% CI 0.98-1.08) in persons with BMI≥25 kg/m2. Diabetes mellitus prevalence was higher in persons with gastric (aOR 1.20 (95% CI 1.06-1.34)) and duodenal ulcers (aOR 1.20 (95% CI 1.12-1.28)) compared to persons without these diagnoses. CONCLUSIONS In this large population-based study, we demonstrated significant positive associations, albeit of small magnitude, of H. pylori infection and peptic disease with diabetes. The long-term gastric inflammation and associated-damage to the gastric mucosa might play a role in such associations.

Association Between Helicobacter Pylori Infection and Insulin Resistance: A Systematic Review. ROMANIAN JOURNAL OF DIABETES NUTRITION AND METABOLIC DISEASES 2017.

Abstract
Abstract
Most studies in the past decades show that screening of Helicobacter Pylori (HP) together with monitoring the inflammatory markers, plasma glucose and HbA1c levels can help prevent or delay type 2 diabetes mellitus. There is a double interrelation between HP infection and diabetes; thus diabetic patients are more susceptible to infection with HP via multiple mechanisms (decreased cellular and humoral immunity induced by diabetes, reducing gastrointestinal motility and secretion of hydrochloric acid, impaired glucose metabolism with the advent of chemical modifications of the gastric mucosa, the last two mechanisms favoring the intestinal colonization with HP). At the same time, those infected with HP can develop diabetes. The purpose of this paper is reviewing the data from the medical literature on the role of the chronic infection with HP on the induction of type 2 diabetes. The studies presented below lead us to the conclusion that the chronic infection with HP, in addition to local specific effects (simple gastritis, peptic ulcer and malignant diseases), also has extradigestive effects. The one approached in our work is that HP is being able to induce type 2 diabetes by complex mechanisms related to insulin resistance, chronic low-grade inflammation, decreased insulin secretion, and influences on glucose and lipid absorption.

Abstract
The last three decades have witnessed a rapid rise in the number of people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), and China has the largest population of diabetes in the world. Patients with T2MD are more susceptible to a variety of infections due to impaired host immunity. Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) hosted in the human stomach is the pathogen of a series of gastric and extragastric diseases, and has infected > 50% of the world population. H. pylori infection is rapidly becoming a serious threat to public health. Epidemiological surveys have indicated an obvious relationship between H. pylori and diabetes. H. pylori infection in T2MD cases can induce systemic inflammation, increase the risk of diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy, and is associated closely with the micro- and macro-vascular complications. Chronic H. pylori infection may have a harmful impact on pancreatic β-cells and may be a risk factor for T2MD and insulin resistance. Treatment of H. pylori infection and control of T2MD are becoming increasingly challenging due largely to the huge population of patients with the two diseases and to the relative complexity of treatment regimens. Further clinical and basic studies are needed to control H. pylori infection and T2MD effectively.

The Role of Morbid Obesity in the Promotion of Metabolic Disruptions and Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis by Helicobacter Pylori. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0166741. [PMID: 27893763 PMCID: PMC5125598 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0166741] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/15/2016] [Accepted: 11/02/2016] [Indexed: 12/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylory (HP) infection has been associated to an increased rate of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and liver disease through its effect on insulin resistance and systemic inflammation. However, results are inconstant and no studies exist in morbidly obese patients, in which both insulin resistance and inflammation coexist. Material and Methods Cross-sectional study to evaluate the relationship between HP infection and alterations in carbohydrate metabolism, lipid profile, inflammation markers, and liver disease in patients awaiting for bariatric surgery. HP infection was histologically assessed in gastric antrum biopsy from 416 subjects. Liver biopsy was also available in 93 subjects. Results Both impaired fasting glucose and T2D were similar when comparing subjects with and without HP infection (24.2% vs. 22%, p = 0.290 and 29.4% vs. 29.1%, p = 0.916, respectively), with no differences between groups in the HOMA-IR, lipid profile neither inflammatory parameters. However, HP infection was higher among subjects with a BMI ≥ 40.0 kg/m2 in comparison with lower degrees of obesity (71.7% vs. 60.0%, p = 0.041). In addition, subjects without HP infection showed higher degrees of steatosis (44.1±26.4% vs. 32.0±20.7%, p = 0.038), as well as a lower prevalence of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (9.3% vs. 30.7%, p = 0.023). Conclusions In patients with morbid obesity, HP infection does not seem to be associated with abnormal carbohydrate metabolism. In addition, less advanced degrees of non-alcoholic fatty disease were observed. We suggest that low-grade inflammation that accompanies obesity mitigates the diabetogenic effect of HP, so the presence of obesity should be considered in studies that evaluate the HP metabolic effects.

Impact of Helicobacter pylori Immunoglobulin G Levels and Atrophic Gastritis Status on Risk of Metabolic Syndrome. PLoS One 2016; 11:e0166588. [PMID: 27851820 PMCID: PMC5113018 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0166588] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/20/2016] [Accepted: 10/31/2016] [Indexed: 12/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection is implicated in gastric and extra-gastric diseases. While gastritis-related chronic inflammation represents a known trigger of metabolic disturbances, whether metabolic syndrome (MetS) is affected by gastritis status remains unclear. We aimed to clarify the effect of HP-related gastritis on the risk of MetS. Materials and Methods We retrospectively enrolled patients undergoing screening for MetS between 2014 and 2015. Investigations included HP-specific immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody assays to detect HP infection, and serum pepsinogen assays to evaluate atrophic gastritis status. The risk of MetS was evaluated via multiple logistic regression analyses with two covariates: serum HP infection status (IgG levels) and atrophic gastritis status (two criteria were applied; pepsinogen I/II ratio < 3 or both pepsinogen I levels ≤ 70 μg/L and pepsinogen I/II ratio < 3). Results Of 1,044 participants, 247 (23.7%) were HP seropositive, and 62 (6.0%) had MetS. HP seronegative and seropositive patients had similar risks of MetS. On the other hand, AG (defined in terms of serum PG I/II <3) was significant risk of MetS (OR of 2.52 [95% CI 1.05–7.52]). After stratification according to HP IgG concentration, patients with low HP infection status had the lowest MetS risk (defined as an odds ratio [OR] adjusted for age, sex, smoking, drinking and physical activity status). Taking this result as a reference, patients with negative, moderate, and high HP infection status had ORs (with 95% confidence intervals [CI]) of 2.15 (1.06–4.16), 3.69 (1.12–16.7), and 4.05 (1.05–26.8). Conclusions HP-associated gastritis represents a risk factor for MetS. Research should determine why low and not negative HP infection status is associated with the lowest MetS risk.

Helicobacter pylori Infection Aggravates Diet-induced Insulin Resistance in Association With Gut Microbiota of Mice. EBioMedicine 2016; 12:247-254.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggests that Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with insulin resistance (IR) yet the underlying mechanisms are still obscure. The vital role of gut microbiota in triggering IR has been increasingly reported, however, no study has explored the correlation of gut microbiota and H. pylori-associated IR. Using H. pylori-infected mice model fed different diet structures, we demonstrated that H. pylori infection significantly aggravated high-fat diet (HFD)-induced metabolic disorders at the early stage, the extent of which was close to the effect of long-term HFD. Interestingly, we observed dynamic alterations in gut microbiota that were consistent with the changes in the metabolic phenotype induced by H. pylori and HFD. There may be an interaction among H. pylori, diet and gut microbiota, which dysregulates the host metabolic homeostasis, and treatment of H. pylori may be beneficial to the patients with impaired glucose tolerance in addition to diet control. H. pylori infection aggravates high-fat diet induced metabolic disorders at the early stage in C57BL/6 mice. H. pylori infection in high-fat diet induces dynamic alterations of gut microbiota consistent with the metabolic phynotype. H. pylori is one of the most common human bacterial pathogens which causes gastric disorders. Epidemiological studies show that its infection is associated with insulin resistance although the mechanism is obscure. Our study demonstrates that H. pylori infection significantly aggravates high-fat diet induced metabolic disorders at the early stage, accompanied by dramatic alterations of gut microbiota. Moreover, the changes of gut microbiota are consistent with the metabolic phynotype, indicating an interaction among H. pylori, diet and gut microbiota. Thus, the treatment of H. pylori may be beneficial to the patients with impaired glucose tolerance in addition to diet control.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether statin use influences gastrointestinal cancer prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). METHODS We reviewed all DM patients diagnosed at Roswell Park Cancer Institute with emergent gastrointestinal malignancy (January 2003 to December 2010) (N = 222). Baseline demographic, clinical history, and cancer outcomes were documented. Overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) comparisons across various treatment groups were assessed by Kaplan-Meier and Cox proportional hazards. RESULTS Use of statin, alone or in combination, was associated with improved OS and DFS (hazard ratio [HR] = 0.65, P = .06; HR = 0.60, P < .02). We report similar OS and DFS advantage among users of mono- or combined metformin therapy (HR = 0.55, P < .01; HR = 0.63, P < .02). Concomitant use of metformin and statin provided a synergistic OS and DFS benefit (HR = 0.42, P < .01; HR = 0.44, P < .01). Despite significant tobacco and alcohol use history, patients with upper gastrointestinal cancers derived enhanced cancer outcomes from this combination (HR = 0.34, P < .01; HR = 0.43, P < .02), while receiving a statin without metformin or metformin without a statin did not provide significant cancer-related benefits. CONCLUSION Use of statin and metformin provides a synergistic improvement in gastrointestinal malignancies outcomes.

Abstract
As a barrier, gut commensal microbiota can protect against potential pathogenic microbes in the gastrointestinal tract. Crosstalk between gut microbes and immune cells promotes human intestinal homeostasis. Dysbiosis of gut microbiota has been implicated in the development of many human metabolic disorders like obesity, hepatic steatohepatitis, and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes (T2D). Certain microbes, such as butyrate-producing bacteria, are lower in T2D patients. The transfer of intestinal microbiota from lean donors increases insulin sensitivity in individuals with metabolic syndrome, but the exact pathogenesis remains unclear. H. pylori in the human stomach cause chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, and gastric cancers. H. pylori infection also induces insulin resistance and has been defined as a predisposing factor to T2D development. Gastric and fecal microbiota may have been changed in H. pylori-infected persons and mice to promote gastric inflammation and specific diseases. However, the interaction of H. pylori and gut microbiota in regulating host metabolism also remains unknown. Further studies aim to identify the H. pylori-microbiota-host metabolism axis and to test if H. pylori eradication or modification of gut microbiota can improve the control of human metabolic disorders.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Helicobacter pylori is one of the most prevalent global pathogens and can lead to gastrointestinal disease including peptic ulcers, gastric marginal zone lymphoma and gastric carcinoma. AIM To review recent trends in H. pylori antibiotic resistance rates, and to discuss diagnostics and treatment paradigms. METHODS A PubMed literature search using the following keywords: Helicobacter pylori, antibiotic resistance, clarithromycin, levofloxacin, metronidazole, prevalence, susceptibility testing. RESULTS The prevalence of bacterial antibiotic resistance is regionally variable and appears to be markedly increasing with time in many countries. Concordantly, the antimicrobial eradication rate of H. pylori has been declining globally. In particular, clarithromycin resistance has been rapidly increasing in many countries over the past decade, with rates as high as approximately 30% in Japan and Italy, 50% in China and 40% in Turkey; whereas resistance rates are much lower in Sweden and Taiwan, at approximately 15%; there are limited data in the USA. Other antibiotics show similar trends, although less pronounced. CONCLUSIONS Since the choice of empiric therapies should be predicated on accurate information regarding antibiotic resistance rates, there is a critical need for determination of current rates at a local scale, and perhaps in individual patients. Such information would not only guide selection of appropriate empiric antibiotic therapy but also inform the development of better methods to identify H. pylori antibiotic resistance at diagnosis. Patient-specific tailoring of effective antibiotic treatment strategies may lead to reduced treatment failures and less antibiotic resistance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although the association of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection with diabetes mellitus has been evaluated, findings are controversial. This study investigated the association in a Chinese population. METHODS A cross-sectional study, including a total of 30 810 subjects from the Dongfeng-Tongji Cohort study, was conducted. H. pylori status was measured via (14) C urea breath test. Association analysis was performed by logistic regression, with multivariable adjustment for sex, age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption, family history of diabetes, physical activity and the use of antibiotics. RESULTS Among a middle-age and old-age Chinese population, individuals with H. pylori infection also had a higher prevalence of type 2 diabetes (21.3% versus 20.2%, p = 0.026). H. pylori infection was associated with higher risk of type 2 diabetes [odds ratio, 1.08 (95% confidence interval: 1.02-1.14); p = 0.008] after adjustment for other confounders. The association was significant among women, those who were above 65 years old, not overweight or obese, and those who did not smoke, did not consume alcohol and without family history of diabetes. However, there was no interaction between H. pylori infection and other traditional risk factors on type 2 diabetes risk. Subjects with H. pylori infection had a lower level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.0001) and higher levels of blood pressure (p < 0.001), total cholesterol, HbA1c and fasting blood glucose (p < 0.0001) than those who did not. CONCLUSIONS These findings suggested that H. pylori infection was associated with the risk of type 2 diabetes in a middle-age and old-age Chinese population. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Diabetes Res Clin Pract 2015; 110:328-34. [PMID: 26547504 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabres.2015.09.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2015] [Revised: 08/04/2015] [Accepted: 09/04/2015] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
AIMS The aim of this conventional case-control study was to investigate the prevalence and relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS A total of 241 type 2 DM patients and 69 non-diabetic subjects with dyspeptic symptoms were enrolled in the study. Gastroduodenal lesions were observed by gastrointestinal endoscopy and the presence of H. pylori was identified by rapid urease test and serum IgG antibodies to H. pylori. According to the urinary albumin excretion rate (UAE), patients were classified into diabetes mellitus group (DM group, with UAE <30 mg/24h); diabetic nephropathy group 1 (DN group 1, with UAE 30 mg/24 h to <300 mg/24 h); and diabetic nephropathy group 2 (DN group 2 ≥ 300 mg/24 h). The 69 non-diabetic subjects were used as control group. The serum levels of inflammatory factors such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-8 were determined using ELISA. RESULTS The prevalence of H. pylori infection in DN group 1 and DN group 2 was 45/72 (62.5%) and 34/53 (64.15%), respectively, which was significantly higher than in control [28/65 (43.1%)] and DM groups [42.9% (27/63)]. No significant differences of H. pylori prevalence were detected between DN groups as well as DM and control groups. Interestingly, in both DN groups, higher levels of IL-8, TNF-α and urinary albumin excretion rate were found in H. pylori positive subjects. CONCLUSIONS Diabetic nephropathy patients are more susceptible to H. pylori infection. Our data support an association between H. pylori infection and diabetic nephropathy.

Yang Z, Li W, He C, Xie C, Zhu Y, Lu NH. Potential effect of chronic Helicobacter pylori infection on glucose metabolism of Mongolian gerbils. World J Gastroenterol 2015; 21:12593-12604. [PMID: 26640335 PMCID: PMC4658613 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v21.i44.12593] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/16/2015] [Revised: 06/19/2015] [Accepted: 09/14/2015] [Indexed: 02/06/2023] Open
Abstract
AIM: To assess the effect of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection on metabolic parameters in Mongolian gerbils.
METHODS: A total of 40 male, 5- to 8-wk-old, specific-pathogen-free Mongolian gerbils (30-50 g) were randomly allocated into two groups: a control group (n = 20) and an H. pylori group (n = 20). After a two-week acclimation period, the control group was administered Brucella broth and the H. pylori group was challenged intra-gastrically five times every other day with approximately 109/CFU H. pylori ATCC43504 (CagA+, VacA+). Each group was then divided into two subgroups, which were sacrificed at either 6 or 12 mo. The control and H. pylori subgroups each contained 10 Mongolian gerbils. Body weight, abdominal circumference, and body length were measured, and body mass index (BMI) and Lee’s index were calculated. Biochemical assays were used to detect serum indexes, including glucose, glycated hemoglobin (GHb), glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), triacylglycerol, and total cholesterol, using an automatic biochemistry analyzer. Inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interferon (IFN)-γ, were assayed using ELISA. The expression of insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) was detected by immunohistochemistry, and islet apoptosis was measured using the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay.
RESULTS: At each time point, body weight, abdominal circumference, BMI, and Lee’s index were increased after H. pylori infection. However, these differences were not significant. H. pylori infection significantly increased the GHb (5.45 ± 0.53 vs 4.98 ± 0.22, P < 0.05) and HbA1c (4.91 ± 0.61 vs 4.61 ± 0.15, P < 0.05) levels at 12 mo. We observed no significant differences in serum biochemical indexes, including fasting blood glucose, triacylglycerol and total cholesterol, at 6 or 12 mo after infection. H. pylori infection significantly increased the expression of IGF-1 (P < 0.05). Insulin levels from the pancreas and the apoptotic rate of islet β-cells remained unchanged. Also, we observed no significant differences among cytokines levels, including IL-1β, IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, TNF-α and IFN-γ. IL-4 was the only exception, which increased at 6 (44.36 ± 25.17 vs 17.38 ± 3.47, P < 0.05) and 12 mo (33.41 ± 10.00 vs 18.91 ± 5.31, P < 0.05) after H. pylori infection.
CONCLUSION: Long-term H. pylori infection is significantly associated with high levels of HbA1c in Mongolian gerbils, indicating a potential role of H. pylori infection in glucose dysregulation.
