Objective: A significant association between type III intestinal metaplasia and gastric adenocarcinoma has been demonstrated in gastrectomy and biopsy series. We investigated the effect of age in a large series of gastric biopsies in order to determine whether this association is age dependent or independent.
Methods: Histochemistry examinations were performed in 560 gastric biopsies showing intestinal metaplasia.
