The recovery effect of atrophic gastritis has no obvious correlation with age, and generally needs to be judged according to the condition, the prognosis of mild atrophic gastritis is better, and the prognosis may be worse if it is moderate and severe atrophic gastritis. Atrophic gastritis is usually caused by Helicobacter pylori infection, due to bacterial infection of the gastric mucosa, untreated inflammatory foci of long-term existence, invasion of the gastric mucosa, resulting in atrophy of the mucosal glands, the emergence of atrophic gastritis. Atrophic gastritis is often characterized by belching, acid reflux, gastric distension, stomach pain and other symptoms. Mild atrophic gastritis, after dietary modification and standardized drug treatment, the prognosis is generally better, can relieve the symptoms of atrophic gastritis; moderate and severe atrophic gastritis prognosis is worse, because often accompanied by atypical hyperplasia of the mucosal cells, intestinal metaplasia, etc., there is a greater likelihood of cancer, and the need for regular follow-up. If atrophic gastritis occurs in 60-year-old people, it is recommended to go to regular hospitals in time for consultation and active treatment.
