Background:
Hypertriglyceridemia (HTG) is a prevalent metabolic disorder closely linked to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and other metabolic conditions. However, research examining the relationship between Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) and HTG is limited. This study aimed to investigate the influence of H. pylori on HTG.
Methods:
The study participants were individuals who underwent health examinations at Taizhou Hospital between 2017 and 2024. The subjects underwent hematological tests, anthropometric measurements, and urea breath tests. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between H. pylori and HTG. Kaplan-Meier curves were utilized to compare HTG incidence between groups, and Cox regression models were applied to calculate associated hazard ratios.
Results:
Logistic regression confirmed that H. pylori was a risk factor for HTG. Further cohort study indicated that prolonged H. pylori infection increased the risk of HTG, whereas H. pylori eradication led to a decrease in HTG incidence. Subgroup analyses demonstrated that the impact of H. pylori on HTG did not exhibit heterogeneity.
Conclusion:
H. pylori was associated with an increased risk of HTG, and its eradication was crucial for reducing this risk.

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.
