Helicobacter Pylori y factores de riesgo en la población de la Parroquia San Lucas-Loja

Helicobacter pylori infection is a worldwide public health problem that mainly affects underdeveloped countries, especially in the presence of conditioning factors such as low socioeconomic status, overcrowding, deficient sanitary infrastructure, poor eating and hygiene habits, and a family history of infection, constituting an etiological factor for the development of chronic gastritis and/or gastric cancer in later stages of the disease. The present research with a quantitative approach, at a descriptive level, of a cross-sectional cohort, had as objective to determine the presence of Helicobacter pylori through immunochromatography to detect fecal antigens and the associated risk factors in the population of the San Lucas-Loja parish, in the period May 2021 to March 2022. It was carried out in 347 inhabitants from 10 to 60 years of age, evidencing a prevalence of 61.38%, predominantly in the female sex and in the group from 10 to 19 years with 58.22% and 23.47% respectively; among the main risk factors we can highlight the consumption of spring/well water in 42.07%, piped water in 19.31%, latrine connected to a septic tank in 34.58%, sewerage 13.54% and the deposition in the open field 13.26%; almost all people had good and acceptable eating habits in 17.87% and 42.94% correspondingly; establishing a statistically significant correlation between Helicobacter pylori and the type of drinking water, as well as eating habits, which could influence the spread of infection in the parish.
