Data was expressed by mean ± SE. BMI: body mass index, T cho.: total cholesterol, Adjusted value: Value adjusted for covariant factors (gender, age, BMI, smoking, drinking). High T cho.: Total cholesterol ≥220 mg/dl. HDLC: HDL-cholesterol. Low HDLC: HDL-cholesterol ≤39 mg/dl. LDLC: LDL-cholesterol. High LDLC: LDL-cholesterol ≥140 mg/dl. TG: triglycerides, High TG: triglycerides ≥150 mg/dl. Numbers in parenthesis indicate percentage. *p<0.05 in comparison with H. pylori-negative subjects. #p<0.05 in comparison with the subjects showing eradication before second visit.
