Abstract: To investigate the status of Helicobacter pylori ( Hp ) infections and its distribution among the health screening population. Methods: Grouping was conducted based on gender and age. Hp infection was rapidly detected using Helicobacter pylori urease antibody detection kits ( Colloidal Gold method) in the health examination population. The resulting data was statistically analyzed. Results: Hp-positive rate of the 292 individuals that underwent health examinations was 35.3% ( 103/292 ), and the positive rate in male and female cases were 35.5% ( 49/138 ) and 35.1% ( 54/154 ), respectively. There were no significant differences in the positive rates between the male and female individuals (P > 0.05 ). The individuals were divided into three experimental groups, namely, the low age group ( <30 years ), the middle age group (30 to 55 years) and the advanced age group ( >55 years ). The Hp-positive rates increased with a direct correlation with age in the low, middle, and advanced age groups, with positive rates of 14.3% ( 4/28 ), 31.9% (44/138), and 43.7% ( 55/126 ), respectively. There were significant differences in the Hp infection rate between the low-age and the advanced-age groups ( P < 0.05 ). Conclusion: The distribution of the Hp infection in the health screening population is positively correlated with patient age, but not with sex.
