Feco-prevalence and risk factors of Helicobacter pylori infection among adults with dyspepsia in Mogadishu, Somalia: a cross-sectional study
This study found a notable prevalence of Helicobacter pylori infection among adults with dyspepsia. Consumption of white meat was associated with an increased risk of infection, whereas living with children or elderly individuals appeared to provide some protection. These findings highlight the need for targeted public health strategies and suggest the need for further investigation into dietary and household factors that may influence Helicobacter pylori transmission.
