“…There was no significant difference in the overall prevalence of H. pylori infection between males (53.1%) and females (61.4%), p>0.05. This finding is compatible with other studies (1,10,24,(26)(27)(28). However, some studies have found a higher prevalence of H. pylori infection in males, which may be related to higher exposure of the males to potential environmental sources of infection (29)(30).…”

Background: Helicobacter pylori infection occurs worldwide, but the prevalence varies greatly among countries and among population groups studied. People with blood group O have been noted to be more susceptible to H. pylori infection. Objectives: To determine the magnitude of H. pylori infection in adult patients with and without dyspeptic symptoms attending Felege Hiwot Hospital, Bahir Dar, North West Ethiopia. We also prospectively examined the relationship between H. pylori infection and ABO blood groups in those subjects to clarify the possible association. Methods: A case-control study was conducted between dyspeptic (n=100) and non-dyspeptic patients (n=100) for the presence of H. pylori infection between mid November 2002 and March 2003 by using serology. Results: Of the total 200 subjects, 128 (64%) were males and 72 (36%) females with mean age of 32.7, range 15-75, years. Of these, 112 (56%) and 66 (33%) were found positive and negative for H. pylori infection, respectively, by EIA. Borderline values were measured in 22/200 (11%). H. pylori infection was detected in 124/200 (62%) of study subjects by immunoblot. The most prevalent blood group was type O (43%), followed by A (23.5%), B (22.5%) and AB (11%). In comparison of the subjects with blood group O and the other blood groups, no statistical significance could be identified in the seroprevalence of H. pylori ( p>0.05). Conclusion:The overall seroprevalence of H. pylori infection in Bahir Dar in this study was between 63% and 70% in dyspeptic patents and 49% and 54% in non-dyspeptic patients by EIA and IB, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences in the frequency of H. pylori seroprevalence between dyspeptic and non-dyspeptic patients. There was no statistically significant association between H. pylori infection and sex, age and ABO blood groups. Thus, further investigations along this line are recommended.

“…Although the prevalence of H. pylori antibodies in adults was similar to other studies, 26,27 it was surprising that there was an inverse association between anemia and H. pylori seroreactivity. This finding contrasts with previous studies that have reported a positive association.…”

Anemia is a significant health concern worldwide and can be the result of nutritional, environmental, social, and infectious etiologies. We estimated the prevalence of anemia in 336 pre-school children and 132 adults in the rural Central Plateau of Haiti and assessed associations with age, sex, household size, water source, sanitation, and Helicobacter pylori seroreactivity using logistic regression analysis; 80.1% (269/336) of children and 63.6% (84/132) of adults were anemic. Among children, younger age was associated with increased prevalence of anemia (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] = 4.1, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.5–11.1 for children 6–11 months compared with children 48–59 months). Among adults, 50.8% were H. pylori-seropositive, and seropositivity was inversely associated with anemia (aOR = 0.4, 95% CI = 0.2–0.9). Anemia prevalence in this region of Haiti is very high and not attributable to sanitary conditions or a high prevalence of H. pylori infection.

“…In the French West Indies, however, seroprevalence of H. pylori has been shown to increase with age, with prevalence rate exceeding 55% of blood donors (Weill et al, 2002). Prevalence was lower to that reported for other Caribbean countries (Edwards et al, 1997;Lindo et al, 1999) that have a higher incidence of stomach cancer than Martinique.…”

In this paper, we present data from the Martinique Cancer Registry for the period 1981-2000 and interpret cancer incidence trends in the light of risk factor patterns. In Martinique, cancer data are available from 1981. The sources of information are represented by insurance records, medical evacuations, hospitals and laboratory files. We performed a Mantel-Haenszel chi test stratified on age in order to assess time trends and to compare incidence rates between men and women over the whole period. A total of 8992 incidents of cancer cases were recorded during the last 20 years among men and 6832 in women. (The overall age-standardized incidence rate is 222 per 10 person-years for men and 145 per 10 person-years for women.) The most common cancers are prostate cancer in men (104 per 10 person-years) and breast cancer in women (42 per 10 person-years). Except for thyroid and salivary gland cancer, men experienced higher incidence rates for all other cancers. Incidence of prostate cancer in men, breast cancer in women and colorectal cancer in both sexes strongly increased between 1981-1990 and 1991-2000, whereas no significant variation was observed for that of all digestive cancers together. Among women, cervical cancer incidence strongly decreased. These results demonstrate that Martinique tends to have the same cancer risk profile as France Mainland with, however, higher incidence rates for cervical, stomach and prostate cancer. Changes in lifestyle and greater accessibility to diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, in particular screening, have strongly contributed to the 'epidemiological transition' observed.
