Clinical Diagnostics and Disease Profiles of <i>Helicobacter pylori</i> Infected Inpatients Reveal Age- and Gender-Specificity and Aggravation in a Select Sequalae of Chronic Syndromes

Background/Objectives: Non-communicable diseases like obesity, diabetes mellitus (DM), and hypertension (HTN) impose major global burdens. Helicobacter pylori infection may worsen these conditions. This study examined the clinical, age-, and gender-specific profiles of H. pylori-infected inpatients and its association with dyslipidemia, obesity, HTN, DM, and other chronic conditions. Methods: Between September 2024 and February 2025, patients were tested using a stool antigen assay (SIMA CHECK–ACON BIOTEC). Demographic data, smoking status, and clinical diagnoses (including kidney, liver, and heart disease) were obtained from hospital records and confirmed with standard criteria. Associations were analyzed using chi-square/Fisher’s tests and logistic regression (adjusted for age, gender, and smoking). Results: Overall, 30.7% (64/208) of inpatients were H. pylori–positive, highest in middle-aged females (42.9%) and lowest in middle-aged males (20.9%). Dyslipidemia rose sharply in males (5.6%→77.1%) versus fema
