Particularly in Bangladesh, there are also some potential influences for the prevalence of gastritis, such as culturally taking excessive chili, turmeric, and acidic foods, poor hygiene, malnutrition, vitamin deficiency, and certain genetic polymorphisms (e.g., IL‐1β and TNF‐α), which may make Bangladeshis more susceptible to gastritis. The gene discussed is TNF; the disease is malnutrition.
