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
- Common risk factors in the development of Gastritis include alcohol, NSAIDs, cocaine, autoimmune gastritis, Crohn’s disease, HIV/AIDS, viral, parasitic and bacterial infections such as Helicobacter pylori.
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of 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)
- In elderly people the stomach lining thins as the age progresses making them more prone to H. pylori infections or autoimmune disorders
- HIV/AIDS
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of Gastritis include:
- 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
