Abstract

Among the risk factors of gastric cancer some data point to the association
with rural environment, which raises the hypothetic role of the soil. In this
study the link between gastric cancer incidence and soil properties supposed
to enhance H. pylori survival in soils, such as acidity, water retention and
clayiness were studied by spatial analysis using GIS and statistics.
