Is There a Relationship Between Helicobacter pylori Infection and Anthropometric Status?
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
2.1. Population
2.2. Data Collection
2.3. Materials
2.4. Procedings
2.4.1. Fecal Samples
- Test band (T): Indicates the presence of Helicobacter pylori antigens if formed.
- Control band (C): Confirms that the test was performed correctly.
2.4.2. Bioimpedance
- Ensure the scale is calibrated and set to zero; it should be clean and ready for use.
- Enter the patient’s data into the InBody 120 software.
- Request the patient to remove shoes, socks, piercings below the neck, necklaces, rings, bracelets, and any heavy or metallic items.
- The patient is asked to step onto the scale and position their feet on the metallic area in an anatomical stance.
- When prompted by the scale, the patient is handed the device to hold, ensuring that their thumbs make contact with the metallic part while maintaining an anatomical stance. The patient remains in this position until the machine beeps, signaling that the test is complete and they may step off the device.
- The software displays measurements such as fat, muscle, water, bone, proteins, and other parameters. These results are automatically stored in a database.
