摘要
Abstract Objectives The clinical significance of serum pepsinogen (PG) for screening gastric cancer has been a controversial topic. Serum PG I levels have been demonstrated to be correlated with age, sex, and the Helicobacter pylori ( HP ) infection. However, the underlying factors that influence serum PG I variations remain to be fully elucidated. We aimed to evaluate the impacts of sex and body mass index (BMI) on PG I in Chinese population. Methods The cross-sectional study recruited 4,299 apparently healthy participants in Fujian Province. Serum PG levels were automatically measured using ELISA method. Serum H. pylori -IgG antibody was detected by the colloidal gold immunoassay. Clinical characteristics were obtained by questionnaire. Results Totally, 2,263 participants who had tests of serum PG and anti-HP IgG antibody were enrolled. Increased BMI and serum uric acid were observed in males with low PG I value (<70 μg/L). Multiple logistic regression showed the presence of overweight was the independent risk factor for male participants with low PG I level (odds ratio [OR] 1.519; p=0.017). However, the association was not found in females. Conclusions Sex-specific association of serum low PG I with overweight was observed in the southeast coastal areas of China. Thus, effects of sexual dimorphism should not be ignored during the clinical utilization of serum PG I.
