Prevalence rates of heathy stomach mucosa, chronic non-atrophic and atrophic gastritis in endoscopic biopsies in adults born in Finland in 1890-1977

CONCLUSIONS: Over 70-year period from 1900 onward, the prevalence rate of 'diseased' stomach (CG or AG) decreased and that of 'healthy' (N) stomach increased in birth cohorts over 50%, by rate about 10% over every 10-year period of time. In birth cohorts, CG progressed to AG with aging of the subjects at a rate of about 10% over every 10 years of calendar age.PMID:34056994 | DOI:10.1080/00365521.2021.1929451
