Summary

Helicobacter pylori is a common bacterial infection of the stomach that can cause ulcers and other digestive problems. Recent studies suggest that this infection may also affect metabolism and blood fats (lipids), which are important for heart health. Changes in lipid levels, such as higher triglycerides and lower "good" cholesterol (HDL), can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. This study will examine whether H. pylori infection is linked to changes in lipid profiles, especially the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP). AIP is a calculation based on triglycerides and HDL cholesterol that helps predict the risk of heart disease.

Conditions

• H Pylori Infection
• Atherogenic Plasma Index

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	urea breath test	Participants will undergo a urea breath test to confirm H. pylori infection status. Fasting blood samples will be collected to measure triglycerides and HDL cholesterol, and the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) will be calculated.
