Background:
Current evidence on the associations between insulin resistance (IR) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the association between non-insulin-based surrogate markers of IR, including the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG/HDL-C) ratio, and the metabolic score for IR (METS-IR), and H. pylori infection in U.S.
Methods:
This cross-sectional study involving 939 U.S. participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2000. The associations between three IR surrogate markers and H. pylori infection were respectively investigated using logistic regression model, restricted cubic spline (RCS) curve and subgroup analysis.
Results:
Three IR surrogate markers levels were significantly elevated in H. pylori infection participants. There was a positive association between three IR surrogate markers and H. pylori infection, even after adjusting for potential confounding variables by three different models. In subgroup analysis, the adjusted association between three IR surrogate markers and H. pylori infection were more likely to be observed in female and Non-Hispanic White. Additionally, the RCS curve revealed a positive linear correlation between TyG index and H. pylori infection across all three models, and between METS-IR and H. pylori infection in Model 3. However, a positive nonlinear correlation was observed between TG/HDL-C ratio and H. pylori infection in all three models.
Conclusions:
These findings suggest that non-insulin-based IR surrogate markers including TyG index, TG/HDL-C ratio, and METS-IR were all positively associated with H. pylori infection. These markers may serve as the potential indicators for identifying the risk of H. pylori infection in U.S.

Few clinical manifestations differentiate gastric ulcers from duodenal ulcers. Distinctions in the location, timing, and pain relief are crucial for healthcare providers in differentiating between gastric and duodenal ulcers during clinical assessments.

An acute ulcer, marked by superficial erosion and minimal inflammation, swiftly resolves upon identifying and addressing the underlying cause. In contrast, a chronic ulcer persists, potentially eroding through the muscular wall and forming fibrous tissue.

01:17Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...
