Overview
Risk factors vary depending on the subtype of gastritis, but notable risk factors include infection with H. pylori and its associated epidemiology.
Risk Factors
- There are no established risk factors for [disease name].
OR
- The most potent risk factor in the development of [disease name] is [risk factor 1]. Other risk factors include [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
- Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include [risk factor 1], [risk factor 2], [risk factor 3], and [risk factor 4].
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.
- Common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include:
- [Risk factor 1]
- [Risk factor 2]
- [Risk factor 3]
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of [disease name] include:
- [Risk factor 1]
- [Risk factor 2]
- [Risk factor 3]
- Risk factors for Gastritis include:
- Consuming excessive amounts of alcohol (acute gastritis)
- Cigarette smoking
- Consuming excessive amounts of caffeine or acidic beverages
- Taking medications such as aspirin or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Cocaine addiction
- Stress resulting in excessive gastric acid secretion
- Bacterial infection such as Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)
- Food poisoning (bacterial gastroenteritis)
- Autoimmune gastritis predisposing to vitamin B-12 deficiency and other autoimmune disorders such as Hashimoto’s disease and type 1 diabetes
- Stress as a result of major surgery or trauma or other illness
- Traumatic injury, burns, or severe infections
- Bile reflux
- Low fiber diet
- Relying mostly on processed food as the primary source
- Pernicious anemia
- In elderly people the stomach lining thins as the age progresses making them more prone to H. pylori infections or autoimmune disorders
- HIV/AIDS
