The gastrofiberscopic findings were normal in 31.4% and abnormal in 68.6%, The abnormal findings were found in 54.6% of stomach, 7.5% of duodenum, 2.3% of esophagus, and 4.2% of the combinations of stomach, duodenum and esophagus.
The abnormal findings were inflammation in 57.6%, ulcer in 7.6%, early gastric cancer in 0.8%, polyp in 1.1%, and others in 1.5%. The types of inflammation that was the most frequent prevalence were atrophic gastritis in 26.1%, intestinal metaplasia in 1.5%, superficial gastritis in 6.4%, erosive gastritis in 4.4%, hemorrhagic gastritis in 1.9%, and others in 7. %.
