Abstract
Introduction
This study used systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the association between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis.
Materials and methods
PubMed, Ovid and Web of Science were searched to include observational studies published in English comparing bone mineral density changes between Helicobacter pylori-positive and -negative participants. The quality of the included literature was assessed using the Newcastle–Ottawa Quality Assessment Scale (NOS). R software was used for meta-analysis, and odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated to evaluate the relationship between Helicobacter pylori infection and osteoporosis.
Results
Twenty-two studies involving 24,176 participants were included in the study. Our meta-analysis showed that Helicobacter pylori infection was significantly associated with the risk of osteoporosis (OR: 1.12, 95%CI: 1.03, 1.22). Participants infected with the CagA-positive Helicobacter pylori strain were more likely to develop osteoporosis (OR = 1.42, 95%CI: 1.09; 1.85).
Conclusion
Infection with Helicobacter pylori, particularly the CagA-positive strain, has been associated with an increased risk of osteoporosis. The bone health of Helicobacter pylori-positive patients deserves more attention.
