People who are infected ulcer causing Helicobacter pylori bacteria more than twice as likely to develop diabetes in the future, as people who have no signs of infection, according to a new study Hispanic adults in California. DONT results show that diabetes causes an error, but it is closely related to the prediction of type 2 diabetes, says Allison Ayello, senior researcher of the study and professor of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Earlier studies looking at the relationship between infection H. pylori and diabetes was somewhat contradictory results have shown us, while others do not. Ayello and his colleagues suggest in their report in the journal Diabetes Care, which previous studies have only buy strattera works when you had diabetes, in which infection, but he did not. To try to better fix on one condition can lead to the other, the group tracked about 800 people for a decade. None of them type 2 diabetes, the type associated with overweight at baseline. But over time, 144 people developed the disease, and 97 percent of those who were positive for helicobacter at baseline. On the other hand, 91 percent of those who do not develop diabetes were positive for H.pylori. When the researchers took into account factors such as vascular disease, smoking and obesity, they found that the risk of diabetes 2. 7 times higher among groups of people who had the infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately two thirds of people worldwide are infected with helicobacter, but most will never experience any symptoms. Approximately eight percent of the U.S. population suffers from diabetes. So the researchers were able to follow people over time and show that cases of diabetes developed after people are infected with H. pylori gives more credibility to the potential cause-effect relationship, they write. Dr. Allen Burton, Professor Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, who was not involved in the study, agreed that the results suggest the reflection that this causal relationship, but offer other possibilities that could explain the results. It is possible that some factors not measured (confounder), due to the impossibility of H. pylori positiveis actually protective factor, but not H. pylori causes diabetes, Burton wrote an email to Reuters Health. For example, the authors do not consider physical activity. He also said that perhaps people with bacterial infection, go to the doctor more often, upset stomach, which gives them a better chance that they discovered diabetes. Researchers have found that if they are people who take antacids or antibiotics to treat the infection does not alter the results. In addition, they have not seen a similar relationship between other infections such as herpes, chicken pox virus, cytomegalovirus and Toxoplasma hondiyi bacteria and diabetes. It is not clear why H.pylori and diabetes are linked, although Ayello said that is the assumption that bacteria can change the conditions in the gut or promote inflammation, which can contribute to diabetes. She and her colleagues found extremely high levels of infection among people in his office, with more than 90 percent of the positive test result. It is quite surprising, given that we have to treat helicobacter said Ayello. It will be important for future studies to show if H. pylori really has an impact on diabetes, said Ayello, since infection can take care of. .
