Abstract:
Background:The overall Helicobacter pylori(Hp)infection rate in China is relatively high,with significant regional variations.Currently,there is a lack of large-sample surveys on the Hp infection rate in the general population of Xinjiang.Aims:To explore the Hp infection rate in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and provide a reference for the prevention and control strategies of Hp infection in this region.Methods:A stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 4 361 individuals from the general population in 15 regions of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.Hp antibody testing was performed to assess Hp infection status.Results:The overall Hp infection rate in Xinjiang was 71.57％(3 121/4 361).The Hp infection rate showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with age,but the difference was not statistically significant(x2=11.992,P＞0.05).There was a statistically significant difference in the Hp infection rate among different residential areas(x2=250.316,P＜0.01).The Hp infection rates among ethnic minorities such as Uyghurs and Tajiks were significantly higher than those among Han and Hui ethnic groups,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=200.797,P＜0.01).The Hp infection rate gradually increased with the increase in altitude,and the difference was statistically significant(x2=33.366,P＜0.01).Conclusions:This study revealed that the overall Hp infection rate in Xinjiang is relatively high,with obvious differences in residential areas,ethnic groups,and altitudes.More powerful publicity and education,screening methods,and eradication strategies should be implemented for ethnic minorities in different regions.
