Abstract

V originále

It has been hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection may contribute to reduced stature, risk of hypertension or obesity. The aim was to evaluate body indices in Hp positive and negative persons. A total of 2436 subjects were tested for Hp status by 13C urea breath test. Data on height and weight were collected for 84%, and blood pressure for 80% of the study subjects. The prevalence of Hp infection was 41.6%. The odds ratio for a 10 year increase in age was 1.21 (95% CI 1.17;1.25, p-value <0.001). Statistically significant negative association of Hp positivity with body height was most pronounced in the younger age groups, while a positive association of Hp positivity with body mass index was only seen in those aged 15+ years. There was a negative effect of Hp positivity on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in subjects below 25 and a relatively strong positive effect on blood pressure in subjects over 65 years. Residual confounding by social characteristics as a possible explanation for the associations of Hp positivity with height and blood pressure cannot be excluded.

In Czech

Byla vyslovena hypotéza, že infekce způsobená Helicobacter pylori (Hp) se může podílet na omezení růstu, na vzniku hypertenze nebo obezity. Cílem bylo zhodnotit tělesné ukazatele u HP pozitivních a HP negativních osob. Test na přítomnost Hp byl proveden u 2436 osob. Data o výšce a váze byla zjištěna u 84% vyšetřených a krevní tlak byl změřen u 80% vyšetřených osob. Prevalence infekce Hp byla 41,6%. Odds ratio pro destileté období (stárnutí osoby) bylo 1,21 (95%CI 1,17; 1,25, p-value neší než 0,001). Byl zjištěn negativní efekt na systolický tlak u osob pod 25 let a pozitivní vliv u osob nad 65 let.
