Coffee Intake in Risk of Gastritis? The Contradictory Results

Epidemiological studies, linking coffee consumption daily and regularly associated to risk of gastritis developing caused by overproduction of bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) in induced infection, have been inclusive.

Coffee, a popular and social beverage all over the world, particularly in the West, is a drink made from roasted bean from the Coffea plant, native to tropical Africa and Madagascar.

Gastritis is a condition of inflammation, irritation, or erosion of stomach lining caused by bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) overexpression located at the lining of the stomach.

In a study of a total of 447 patients aged 15-79 had not had peptic ulcer disease or treatment for H pylori infection. researchers found that coffee consumption showed a positive dose-response relation in reduced active stomach lining infection and after adjusted odds ratios, patients who drank < 3 cups and > or = 3 cups of coffee per day displayed the relative risk ratio of 1.49 and 2.49 respectively, in compared to nondrinkers.

The result suggested that coffee intake showed negative effects in attenuated in the course of H pylori-induced active infection. In other words, coffee intake may elevate active infection caused by bacterial H pylori.
Others, in the study of a sample of 238 subjects (hospital employees) initially (on 1994) seronegative to H. pylori tested again 5 years later (1999), in two different periods (1994 and 1999). returned questionnaire from patients showed a neutral effect between coffee consumption and risk of infection caused by H. pylori regardless of numbers of cup intake daily and after taking into account of other factors.
More importantly, in the investigation of the effect of coffee consumption on four major acid-related diseases: gastric ulcer (GU), a serve case of gastric infection, duodenal ulcer (DU), reflux esophagitis (RE), and non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) based on the large-scale multivariate analysis of the 9,517 healthy adults, researchers filed the following results in related to coffee intake and risk of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection
1. Coffee consumption expressed a relatively low ratio of pepsinogen I/II
2. Coffee intake expressed a positively related risk of Helicobacter pylori (HP) infection by multiple logistic regression analysis,
3. Coffee intake was not associated with neither GU nor DU

But after taking into account other risk factors, researchers exemplified " there is no significant relationship between coffee consumption and the four major acid-related upper gastrointestinal disorders".

With all the information collected, coffee intake may have a very significant and neutral link in an increased risk of Gastritis caused by a bacterial infection, therefore, clarification by large sample size and cohost studies are necessary,
