Epidemiology of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i>
Amnon Sonnenberg
Abstract
In many countries alike, the time trends of gastric cancer, gastric and duodenal ulcer, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and colorectal cancer are characterized by similar birth-cohort patterns. Mortality from these diagnoses rose in cohorts born during the 19th century and then fell in subsequent cohorts born during the 20th century.
