H. pylori infection and NAFLD in China

Commentary

The role of H. pylori infection in the development of NAFLD remains controversial. This retrospective study was conducted on 71,633 participants. A (13)C urea breath test was conducted to detect H. pylori infection, and ultrasonography to detect NAFLD.
After adjusting for confounding factors, multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that there was no independent relationship between H. pylori infection and NAFLD.
