The distribution of H. pylori infection is not uniform and can vary based on socio-economic factors. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between H. pylori infection and educational status in Central Europe. If the prevalence of H. pylori infection was found to be exceptionally high in one particular educational stratum, then systematic screening in this population group could be a sensible strategy.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Participants were included from the Salzburg Colon Cancer Prevention Initiative (Sakkopi) cohort, consisting of 5313 asymptomatic Austrian patients. Clinical and laboratory parameters and the biopsy proven presence of H. pylori during an esophagoduodenoscopy were obtained, and patients' educational status was categorized into lower (38%), medium (54%), and higher (9%) education.
