Association between helicobacter pylori infection and dyslipidemia in different gender population / 中国医师杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To assess the association between helicobacter pylori (HP) infection and dyslipidemia in different gender population.Methods We conducted cross-sectional analysis using data of 1921 cases of demographic characteristics,anthropometry,life style,lipid profile,etc.,from the subjects who received health examination from January 2010 to June 2012 in Department of Geriatrics,Tongji Hospital.Diagnosis of HP infection was achieved by using 14C-Urea Breath Test (14C-UBT).The participants were divided into HP infection positive group and HP infection negative group by 14C-UBT.Results In female subjects,the levels of total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-c) were higher in HP positive group than HP negative group (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no obvious difference between the levels of low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) in HP positive group and HP negative group.However,in the male subjects,the levels of LDL-c and TC/HDL-c were significantly increased in HP positive group than HP negative group (P ＜ 0.05).HP positive group had a greater risk for high TC/HDL-c both in female and male subjects.In female subjects,the risk for high TC/HDL-c in HP positive group was 1.90 times of that in HP negative group (95％ CI,1.06 ～ 3.38).In male subjects,the risk for high TC/HDLc in HP positive group was 1.56 times of that in HP negative group (95％ CI,1.21 ～ 2.00).But only in male subjects,the risk for high LDL-c in HP positive group was 2.33 times of that in HP negative group (95 ％ CI,1.34 ～ 4.06).Conclusions We observed that HP infection was probability associated with dyslipidemia.
