Objective To investigate and analyze the prevalence and influencing factors of Helicobacter pylori (Hp), to provide scientific basis for the development of Hp infection prevention and control program.Methods The Hp infection of healthy population who received 13C-urea breath test in Sichuan Science City Hospital from January to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Medical examination reports were collected and sorted out. We compared the gender and age differences of Hp infection, and binary logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the risk factors of Hp infection.Results A total of 8 093 healthy participants were included, including 5 530 males (68.33%) and 2 563 females (31.67%). The infection rate of Hp was 37.80% (3 059/8 093) in all subjects. The infection rate of males [39.48% (2 183/5 530)] was significantly higher than that of females [34.18% (876/2 563)] (χ2=20.899, P<0.001). The infection rate of 50-59 years old group was the highest (43.87%), and that of <30 years old group was the lowest (30.93%). The difference of Hp infection rate among different age groups was statistically significant (χ2=64.577, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that male [odds ratio (OR) =1.257, P<0.001], 40-49 years old (OR=1.446, P<0.001), 50-59 years old (OR=1.756, P<0.001), 60-69 years old (OR=1.512, P<0.001), high total cholesterol level (OR=1.221, P=0.003) and obesity (OR=1.403, P<0.001) were risk factors for Hp infection.Conclusions The prevalence of Hp infection in the general hospital is lower than the national average level, and male, 40-69 years old, high total cholesterol level and obesity are predictors of Hp infection. Effective measures should be taken to prevent and control the infection of Hp.
