Core Tip	Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is characterized by family cluster infection. However, studies investigating the status of H. pylori infection and patterns of intra-household transmission are scarce. In our study, the individual H. pylori infection rate in the Chengguan District of Lanzhou was found to have decreased from 47.0% in 2021 to 38.1% in 2023. The rate of new individual infection is currently 22.8%. Similarly, the proportion of households with at least one infected member has decreased from 76.9% in 2021 to 67.1% in 2023. These results suggest that family-based prevention and treatment are more conducive to the management of H. pylori.
