A recent study conducted by Central South University in Changsha, China, explored the impacts of environmental exposures and parental stress on childhood Helicobacter pylori infection (HPI). The study found that exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollutants, as well as allergens, had significant effects on HPI. Specifically, exposure to moisture-specific indoor allergens, smoke-specific air pollution, and plant-specific allergens were associated with HPI. Outdoor exposures to carbon monoxide and particulate matter were also linked to HPI. Additionally, parental socioeconomic and psychological stress indicators were found to be positively related to HPI. The study supports the hypothesis that HPI may have origins in the prenatal and early life stages. [Extracted from the article] |
