Seroprevalence of Helicobacter pylori in Chile: Vegetables May Serve as One Route of Transmission
Abstract
Helicobacter pylori infection is very common in Chilean adults, but the age-related prevalence, risk factors for infection, and mode of transmission in Chilean children are unknown. An ELISA was used to test for H. pylori antibodies in 1815 Chileans < 35 years of age. Seropositivity was > 60% in lower socioeconomic groups. H. pylori seropositivity correlated with increased age, low socioeconomic status, and consumption of uncooked vegetables by use of a logistic regression analysis. Risk factors that reached marginal significance were consumption of uncooked shell-fish, female sex, and residence in Santiago. Although multiple modes of transmission for H. pylori undoubtedly exist, prior studies have suggested that contamination of irrigation water by raw sewage (and the subsequent contamination of vegetables that are eaten uncooked) is a key factor in the transmission of enteric pathogens in Chile; H. pylori may be transmitted by a similar route.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
