Age-specific prevalence of Helicobacter pylori from the 1970s to the 2010s in Japan. The pattern was typical for that of a developing country in the 1970s and then showed a progressive shift to the right as the rate of acquisition steadily declined in childhood. The base line prevalence currently appears to be stable at about 10%.
