Abstract

Objective: to analyze the association between sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, health history, and specific metabolic indicators (SMIs) with the presence of Helicobacter pylori. Methodology: An analytical, prospective, and cross-sectional study was conducted among employees of a private university in northeastern Mexico from August 2021 to May 2022. A survey was applied to collect epidemiological profiles, and the SD Bioline blood test was used to detect H. pylori. The association between sociodemographic factors, lifestyle, and H. pylori presence was analyzed using binomial regression and odds ratio (OR) statistical tests in Jamovi software. Results: among 119 participants, 28.6% tested positive for H. pylori. Binomial logistic regression models showed that workers who "Regularly" frequented the same eating establishment had an 86.21% lower likelihood of testing positive for H. pylori (OR = 0.138, 95% CI: 0.029–0.644) compared to those who answered "Sometimes." Regarding body mass index (BMI), overweight individuals had a 182% higher likelihood of testing positive (OR = 2.87, 95% CI: 1.04–7.89) compared to individuals with a normal BMI, regardless of age. Conclusion: lifestyle was the strongest predictor of H. pylori presence. Regularly eating at the same place was a protective factor against H. pylori infection compared to occasionally eating there. Additionally, a BMI over 24.9 (overweight) increased the risk of H. pylori infection by nearly threefold compared to individuals within the normal BMI range.
