Our data indicated an inverse relationship between morbid obesity and H pylori seropositivity. These findings raise the hypothesis that a lack of H pylori infection, especially during childhood, might enhance the risk of the development of morbid obesity.

FS and MFS on US examination exhibit acceptable sensitivity and high specificity for the detection of the presence of NASH in morbidly obese patients and may aid in the selection of patients for closer follow-up or liver biopsy.
