To summarize and assess the credibility and strength of non-genetic factors and genetic variation on gastric cancer risk, we performed a field synopsis and meta-analysis to identify the risk of gastric cancer in Chinese population. Cumulative evidence was graded according to the Venice criteria, and attributable risk percentage (
ARP
) and population attributable risk percentage (
PARP
) were used to evaluate the epidemiological effect. A total of 956 studies included non-genetic (404 studies) and genetic factors (552 studies) were quantified, and data on 1161 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were available. We identified 14 non-genetic factors were significantly associated with gastric cancer risk. For the analysis of time trends,
H. pylori
infection rate in gastric cancer and population showed a downward trend. Meanwhile 22 variants were identified significantly associated with gastric cancer: 3 (
PLCE1
rs2274223,
PSCA
rs2976392,
MUC1
rs4072037) were high and 19 SNPs were intermediate level of summary evidence, respectively. For non-genetic factors, the top three for
ARP
were 54.75% (pickled food), 65.87% (stomach disease), and 49.75% (smoked and frying). For
PARP
were 34.22% (pickled food), 34.24% (edible hot food) and 23.66%(
H. pylori
infection). On the basis of
ARP
and
PARP
associated with SNPs of gastric cancer, the top three for
ARP
were 53.91% (
NAT2
, rs1799929),53.05% (
NAT2
phenotype), and 42.85% (
IL-10
, rs1800896). For
PARP
(Chinese Han in Beijing) were 36.96% (
VDR
, rs731236), 25.58% (
TGFBR2
, rs3773651) and 20.56% (
MUC1
, rs4072037). Our study identified non-genetic risk factors and high-quality biomarkers of gastric cancer susceptibility and their contribution to gastric cancer.
