Helicobacter pylori infection is independently associated with triglyceride levels: a propensity score–matched cross-sectional study

1

Helicobacter pylori infection affects over 50% of the global population and is linked to various upper gastrointestinal diseases.
2

The study enrolled 678 participants to examine the relationship between H. pylori infection and serum lipid levels.
3

H. pylori-positive participants exhibited significantly higher triglyceride levels compared to H. pylori-negative participants.
4

Total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C levels did not significantly differ between the H. pylori-positive and negative groups.
5

The findings suggest H. pylori infection may play a role in metabolic risk assessment, warranting further research.
