“…48 The negative association we observed between height and death from gastric cancer is consistent with the known relevance to this malignancy of Helicobacter pylori infection, acquisition of which is related to poorer socio-economic circumstances in childhood. 15,49 Our study of over 1 million adults was powerful, involved individual participant data, adjusted for several major risk factors, assessed risk factors serially in 355 000 participants and studied a wide range of common and less common disease outcomes in a standardized manner. Since we analysed only prospective cohort studies, we minimized potential biases.…”

“…This organism has been causally linked to a majority of stomach ulcers [62] and is now considered a serious risk factor for both gastric cancer and mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma [63]. Interestingly, immune responses to H. pylori recruit macrophages, DCs and T cells (with a strong Th17 component) to the site of infection [64], and patients with gastric carcinomas have been shown to have enhanced levels of Th17 cells in tumor-draining lymph nodes [65].…”

“…The presence of cagA and cagE in H. pylori were isolated from Chinese, Indian, and Malay patients in Singapore ranged from 92.3 to 100% [ 3 ]. The H. pylori was found to be associated to many diseases including chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, gastric mucosa associated lymphoid tissue lymphoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma [ 8 13 ]. Antibiotics are most commonly used clinically for the treatment of diseases associated with H. pylori .…”
