Current guidelines in China state all patients with evidence of active infection with H. pylori  are offered treatment. However, the prevalence of H. pylori  infection and its regional distribution in the military population remain unclear, which hinders effective prevention and treatment strategies. Understanding the prevalence of H. pylori  infection in the military population will aid in the development of customized strategies to better manage this infectious disease.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>AIM<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>To investigate the prevalence of H. pylori  infection in the Chinese military population in different geographic areas.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>METHODS<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>This multicenter, retrospective study included 22421 individuals from five tertiary hospitals located in north, east, southwest, and northwest cities of China. H. pylori  infection was identified using the urea breath test, which had been performed between January 2020 and December 2021.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>RESULTS<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>Of the 22421 military service members, 7416 (33.1%) were urea breath test-positive. The highest prevalence of H. pylori  was in the 30-39 years age group for military personnel, with an infection rate of 34.9%. The majority of infected subjects were younger than 40-years-old, accounting for 70.4% of the infected population. The individuals serviced in Lanzhou and Chengdu showed a higher infection prevalence than those in Beijing, Nanjing, and Guangzhou, with prevalence rates of 44.3%, 37.9%, 29.0%, 31.1%, and 32.3%, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>CONCLUSION<\/jats:p>\n          <jats:p>H. pylori  infection remains a common infectious disease among military personnel in China and has a relatively high prevalence rate in northwest China.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3748\/wjg.v31.i3.95871","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,12,17]],"date-time":"2024-12-17T08:18:05Z","timestamp":1734423485000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Prevalence of <i>Helicobacter pylori<\/i> infection in Chinese military personnel: A cross-sectional, multicenter-based study"],"prefix":"10.3748","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Han-Chen","family":"Min","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chun-Yan","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Fang-Yu","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Hui","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shan-Hong","family":"Tang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hong-Wu","family":"Zhu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ya-Gang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ji-Luo","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jian","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jing-Han","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Mei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yun-Sheng","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2060","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1053\/j.gastro.2017.04.022"},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jgh.15751"},{"key":"B3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/hel.12635"},{"key":"B4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/apt.14561"},{"key":"B5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0204762"},{"key":"B6","unstructured":"Maleki I, Mohammadpour M, Zarrinpour N, Khabazi M, Mohammadpour RA.
