Core Tip	Gastric atrophy is generally regarded as a precancerous condition. Thus, improvements in methods used to diagnose atrophy may identify patients at risk for gastric cancer. Our data on endoscopic assessment could be compared with diagnosis by an expert histopathologist with a weighted kappa value. Our data of this agreement is better than the inter-observer agreement between two histopathologists reported before. Thus, our results suggest that endoscopic atrophy grading can predict extensive histological atrophy and may serve as a practical assessment of precancerous conditions during endoscopy in routine clinical practice, especially for patients in western countries.
