This thesis focuses on the current epidemiology of H. pylori in a multi-ethnic Western city (Rotterdam, the Netherlands). It further examines the associations of H. pylori with non-gastric disease, like asthmatic conditions, pregnancy complications and obesity. The studies include a large number of subjects, participating in the Generation R or Rotterdam Study. Finally, this thesis describes the yield of endoscopic surveillance in patients with premalignant gastric lesions.
