Antibody reactivity against Helicobacter pylori proteins in a sample of the Spanish adult population in 2008 ‐2013

ConclusionsThis is the first study to describe the antibody patterns against 16 H. pylori proteins in the Spanish population. We found variability in the H. pylori antibody profiles according to both individual factors such as age and sex, and environmental factors such as the region of birth. The slightness of the reduction in seropositivity with decreasing age highlights the ongoing importance of this infection.
