a

Logistic analysis was performed and a P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. Logistic model including terms of gender, relatives with gastric cancer, education, and consumption of dairy products.

b

Logistic analysis was performed and a P-value < 0.05 was considered significant. Logistic model including terms of gender, body mass index (BMI), smoking, education, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) use.

c

Some data are missing. Missing values are not included.

FD, functional dyspepsia; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; H. pylori, Helicobacter pylori; IgG, Immunoglobulin G.
