“…Helicobacter pylori is the main risk factor for GIM development as GIM develops in the setting of inflammation and atrophy of gastric mucosa associated with H. pylori infection. 6,11 Other possible risk factors among U.S. populations include male gender, 12,13 non-white race/ethnicity, 12,14,15 older age, 14,16 and smoking. 17,18 A predictive model that combines demographic and clinical risk factors may identify individuals in the general population at high risk of GIM.…”
