Comparison of Glycemic and Anthropometric Parameters Among Patients With Dyspepsia and Dyslipidemia With or Without Helicobacter pylori Infection: A Cross-Sectional Study
Dyslipidemia in dyspeptic patients without <i>H. pylori</i> infection was associated with higher TyG indices; coexisting dyslipidemia and <i>H. pylori</i> infection were associated with increased BMI and WC. No significant differences were observed for HbA1c or fasting glucose between the groups, although the TyG index varied markedly, reflecting discrete changes in insulin sensitivity. These results support integrated screening for dyslipidemia and <i>H. pylori</i> in dyspeptic patients to reduce cardiometabolic risk and gastrointestinal diseases.
