North Kerala is a high risk area for carcinoma stomach. Therefore, 'intestinal type' carcinoma of Lauren is more prevalent here and the disease occur even in people below the age of 40. An attempt is made to analyse various risk factors in 70 patients who had undergone gastrectomy for carcinoma stomach in Medical College Hospital, Calicut. The population study revealed no relationship between the disease and the various religious communities. Diet is found to be the most important potential environmental influence. Even though both males and females share the same type of diet, males are found to be more affected by the disease. The high frequency of female population in North Kerala with a low frequency of carcinoma stomach in them, suggests the possible role of smoking and alcohol abuse in males. The blood group profile of healthy population in North Kerala and that of the patients show that people with blood group A have a differential susceptability to gastric carcinoma. Age and chewing of tobacco were the other factors involved.
北喀拉拉邦是胃癌的高风险地区。因此，劳伦的“肠型”癌在这里更为普遍，甚至40岁以下的人也会患这种疾病。本文试图分析70例在卡利卡特医学院医院因胃癌接受胃切除术的患者的各种风险因素。人群研究表明，该疾病与不同宗教群体之间没有关联。饮食被认为是最重要的潜在环境影响因素。尽管男性和女性的饮食类型相同，但发现男性受该疾病的影响更大。北喀拉拉邦女性人口比例高，但胃癌发病率低，这表明吸烟和酗酒在男性中可能起到了作用。北喀拉拉邦健康人群和患者的血型分布表明，A型血的人对胃癌有不同的易感性。年龄和咀嚼烟草是其他相关因素。
