Abstract
Indonesia is a big country with multiethnic populations whose gastric cancer risks have not
been elucidated. We performed a nationwide survey and obtained histological specimens
from 1053 individuals in 19 cities across the country. We examined the gastric mucosa, the
topography, the atrophic gastritis risk factors, and the gastric cancer risk scores. Almost half
(46.1%) of the patients with dyspeptic symptoms had histological abnormalities; chronic
(36.3%) and atrophic gastritis (28.9%) being the most frequent. Individuals of the Timor eth-
nicity had the highest prevalence of acute (52.6%) and chronic gastritis (68.4%), even those
negative for H. pylori. Our topographic analysis showed the majority of patients had predom-
inantly antral acute and chronic gastritis. A multivariate logistic regression model showed
age (Odds ratio [OR], 1.107), Timor ethnicity (OR, 8.531), and H. pylori infection (OR,
22.643) as independent risk factors for presence of atrophic gastritis. In addition, the gastric cancer risk score was highest in those from Timor, Papuan, and Bugis ethnic populations.
Overall, Indonesia is a low-risk gastric cancer country. However, several ethnic groups dis-
played severe gastric mucosa symptoms suggesting policy makers should focus on those
ethnic groups to perform gastric cancer screenings and to eradicate H. pylori.
