Abstract 842: Ethnic differences in association of behavioral risk factors with gastric precancerous lesions in Inner Mongolia, China

Abstract

Abstract Background: The prevalence of Gastric precancerous lesion (GPL) exists ethnic differences, however, little evidence exists to clarify whether preventable behavioral risk factors lead to these differences. Objectives: To investigate the ethnic-difference of associations between GPL and behavioral risk factors in Mongol and Han Chinese population. Methods: The study included participants aged 36-75 years enrolling in the Cancer Screening Program during 2016-2017 from Hohhot and Tongliao City in Inner Mongolia. GPL defined as gastric ulcer, atrophic gastritis, intestinal metaplasia and dysplasia. Results: A total of 61638 participants were included, of whom 6863(11.1%) were Mongolians. The prevalence of GPL for Mongolians (13.6%) was significantly higher than that of Han (10.2%). Compared with Han: (1) Mongolians have significantly higher proportion of alcohol consumption (23.1% vs 18.8%), along with a larger positive association for alcohol consumption with GPL, and a higher population attributable fraction (PAF) (P<0.05); (2) Mongolians have significantly lower proportion of irregular physical activity (60.1% vs 62.3%), but with a larger positive association for irregular physical activity with GPL, and a higher PAF (P<0.05). (3) Mongolians have significantly lower proportion of insufficient vegetables and fruits intake (80.6% vs 82.2%), the significant association for insufficient vegetable and fruit intake with GPL was observed only in Mongolians (P < 0.05). (4) Mongolians have significantly higher proportion of smoking (23.1%), as the association for light smoking with GPL in Mongolians were lower than that in Han, resulting into similar PAF in two population. Conclusion: Mongolians should pay more attention to the intervention of behavioral risk factors. Additionally, the result may also reflect a different GPL pathogenesis in Mongolians.
