This study aimed to explore the potential role of smoking and canned material consumption in the development of gastric ulcer disease. Researchers compared 104 gastric ulcer patients with a control group matched for age, sex, and social status. The analysis examined exposure to these factors during three periods: over a lifetime, within five years, and in the year preceding the onset of symptoms. Results revealed a significant link between smoking, regular canned material consumption, and a higher risk of gastric ulcers across all time frames. Since these exposures occurred prior to symptom onset, the findings suggest a possible causal relationship. If confirmed, these factors could account for up to 80% of gastric ulcer cases. smoking with a corresponding increase in rate of development of gastric ulcer allowing to become more prominent. In the early 20th century physician’s believed they could diagnose ulcers clinically and that the diagnosis required hospitalization for “surgical disease. We show that while smoking and canned materials remained common and virulent in Egypt and the Middle East, environmental changes resulted in changes of the pattern of gastric ulcer producing a change in the manifestations. The consumption of many of canned materials, mainlyFava beans, fava beans, chickpeas and mortadella, increase risk. Many of these canned material contain presentatives cause diseases, which were also inversely related to gastric cancer risk. The intake of smoking was positively associatedwith gastric cancer risk, but primarily in men.
