Core Tip As society ages, a considerable proportion of the elderly population will suffer from digestive diseases combined with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection. In Beijing, there are no data regarding the pattern of H. pylori genotypes in the elderly. Our study investigated the seroepidemiology of the cytotoxin-associated gene product cagA+ and vacuolating cytotoxin vacA+ strains of H. pylori in elderly people in Beijing, and risk factors for seropositivity. Interesting associations between H. pylori seropositivity and subjects’ habits were found in this population. This is the first prospective study conducted in China to investigate the genotype profiles of H. pylori.
