Abstract
ROLDAN-DELFINO, Lina María et al. Association between Variables of Eating Habits and Gastric Trophic Changes in a Gastroenterology Institution in Medellín, Colombia. Rev. colomb. Gastroenterol. [online]. 2023, vol.38, n.3, pp.304-309. Epub Jan 17, 2024. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.1024.
Aim:
To establish the relationship between consuming foods considered risk factors for gastric cancer and trophic changes in gastric mucosa.
Materials and methods:
Cross-sectional study. We included patients older than 18 admitted for upper GI endoscopy with biopsies who adequately answered a survey of personal history and eating habits. Those with a history of gastric cancer or gastric surgical resection for any reason were excluded. The association between feeding variables and trophic changes in the gastric mucosa was estimated.
Results:
In a population of 1,096 patients, the average age was 51 years (standard deviation [SD]: 15.5), and 59% were women. Trophic changes in the gastric mucosa were identified in 173 patients (15.8%). No statistical association was found between the independent variables of eating habits, obesity, and positive Helicobacter pylori versus the variable “trophic changes,” unlike the variable “family history of gastric cancer” (odds ratio [OR]: 1.49 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-2.17, p = 0.036). One case of high-grade dysplasia was detected in the study population (0.91 cases in 1,000 patients).
Conclusions:
No association was established between eating habits and trophic changes in the gastric mucosa in the studied population. A family history of gastric cancer is a statistically significant risk factor for developing atrophy, metaplasia, or dysplasia changes.
