Helicobacter pylori Seropositivity’s Association with Markers of Iron 1-Carbon Metabolism and Antioxidant Status among US Adults: A Structural Equations Modeling Approach

摘要

ObjectivesWe tested a model in which Helicobacter pylori seropositivity (Hps) predicted iron status, which in turn acted as a predictor for markers of 1-C metabolism that were then allowed to predict antioxidant status.
