Abstract:
What's new? Why do some Helicobacter pylori infections lead to gastric cancer, but not others? In this study, the authors investigated the interaction between H. pylori and other gastric cancer risk factors, including tobacco smoking, alcohol drinking, socioeconomic status (SES) and dietary salt. They combined seven case‐control studies and performed pooled analysis to quantify the interaction between risk factors. They found that the associations with alcohol and salt were more than multiplicative. Smoking and SES, on the other hand, combined with H. pylori infection in a multiplicative fashion. Thus, lifestyle modifications could boost the benefit of eradicating H. pylori .
