FDR, first degree relatives of gastric cancer.

a

Indefinite for atrophy.

b

Atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia present.

c

Atrophic gastritis without intestinal metaplasia present P-values were calculated using χ2-test.

Histological grade is according to updated Sydney scoring system (0=none, 1=slight, 2=moderate, and 3=marked).

*

Compared histological grade of atrophic gastritis regardless of presence of intestinal metaplasia;

**

compared histological presence of atrophic gastritis regardless of presence of intestinal metaplasia;

compared histological grade of metaplastic atrophic gastritis;

††

compared histological grade of non-metaplastic atrophic gastritis;

compared histological grade of intestinal metaplasia;

‡‡

compared histological presence of intestinal metaplasia.
