In 1988 2062 adults had their first oesophagogastroduodenoscopy at Leicester General Hospital, of whom 224 (10.9%) were Asian. A greater proportion of the Asian patients were less than 45 years old (46% vs 24%), which reflects the age distribution of the local population. When the findings at oesophagogastroduodenoscopy were analysed in two age groups (less than or older than 45) there were no differences between the races in the younger group. However, in the older group duodenal disease was significantly more common in the Asians (P less than 0.001) whereas gastric disease was more common in Caucasians (P less than 0.05). The incidence of cancer was much lower in the Asians.
1988年，2062名成年人在莱斯特综合医院首次接受食管胃十二指肠镜检查，其中224名（10.9%）为亚洲人。亚洲患者中年龄小于45岁的比例更高（46%对24%），这反映了当地人口的年龄分布情况。当按两个年龄组（小于或大于45岁）分析食管胃十二指肠镜检查结果时，较年轻组中不同种族之间没有差异。然而，在较年长组中，十二指肠疾病在亚洲人中明显更常见（P<0.001），而胃部疾病在白种人中更常见（P<0.05）。亚洲人的癌症发病率要低得多。
