a

H. pylori positive defined by positive serum CagA status.

b

Conditional logistic regression model adjusted for age at baseline interview (in years), baseline interview year (1993–1995, 1996–1998), father's dialect (Cantonese, Hokkien), gender, and education (no formal education, primary education, ⩾secondary education).

c

Further adjusted for serum H. pylori CagA status (positive, negative).
