Description
Qibo Hu and co-authors link a combined inflammation-and-nutrition index to stomach infection and survival, in a 2026 paper. Helicobacter pylori infection feeds several diseases, and both body inflammation and poor nutrition travel with it. The advanced lung cancer inflammation index folds those two sides into one score, first built for cancer but used here more broadly.
The team studied 3,718 adults from a national United States survey, with a second hospital cohort from China for confirmation. Higher index scores came with higher odds of carrying the infection. Among infected patients, higher scores also came with better survival, though the benefit faded past a turning point. The pattern held across subgroups, suggesting the cheap score carries real signal.
