Figure 4. Relationship Between Coronary Artery Disease and H pylori Infection in the US.

Figure 4

Data on coronary artery disease were collected from histologic analyses of autopsies performed on soldiers who died in the Korean, Vietnam, and Middle East wars 70-72. They are compared with the prevalence of H pylori infection in the US population during the same time periods, based on the premise that infection at age 22 did not change during the lifetimes of this cohort 73.
