() infection is a prevalent disease encountered in military internal medicine and recognized as the main cause of dyspepsia, gastritis, and peptic ulcer, which are common diseases in military personnel. Current guidelines in China state all patients with evidence of active infection with are offered treatment. However, the prevalence of infection and its regional distribution in the military population remain unclear, which hinders effective prevention and treatment strategies. Understanding the prevalence of infection in the military population will aid in the development of customized strategies to better manage this infectious disease.
To investigate the prevalence of infection in the Chinese military population in different geographic areas.
This multicenter, retrospective study included 22421 individuals from five tertiary hospitals located in north, east, southwest, and northwest cities of China. infection was identified using the urea breath test, which had been performed between January 2020 and December 2021.
Of the 22421 military service members, 7416 (33.1%) were urea breath test-positive. The highest prevalence of was in the 30-39 years age group for military personnel, with an infection rate of 34.9%. The majority of infected subjects were younger than 40-years-old, accounting for 70.4% of the infected population. The individuals serviced in Lanzhou and Chengdu showed a higher infection prevalence than those in Beijing, Nanjing, and Guangzhou, with prevalence rates of 44.3%, 37.9%, 29.0%, 31.1%, and 32.3%, respectively.
infection remains a common infectious disease among military personnel in China and has a relatively high prevalence rate in northwest China.
（）感染是军队内科常见疾病，被认为是消化不良、胃炎和消化性溃疡的主要病因，而这些疾病在军人中较为普遍。中国现行指南规定，所有有活动性（）感染证据的患者均应接受治疗。然而，军队人群中（）感染的患病率及其区域分布仍不清楚，这阻碍了有效的预防和治疗策略。了解军队人群中（）感染的患病率将有助于制定定制化策略，以更好地管理这种传染病。
调查中国不同地理区域军队人群中（）感染的患病率。
这项多中心回顾性研究纳入了来自中国北方、东部、西南部和西北部城市的五家三级医院的22421名个体。使用2020年1月至2021年12月期间进行的尿素呼气试验来确定（）感染情况。
在22421名军人中，7416人（33.1%）尿素呼气试验呈阳性。军人中30 - 39岁年龄组的（）感染率最高，为34.9%。大多数感染对象年龄小于40岁，占感染人群的70.4%。在兰州和成都服役的人员感染患病率高于北京、南京和广州的人员，患病率分别为44.3%、37.9%、29.0%、31.1%和32.3%。
（）感染在中国军人中仍然是一种常见的传染病，在西北地区患病率相对较高。
