title: [Study on relationship between occurrence of intragastric lesions and drinking water and nitrate intake via water in the inhabitants from a high-risk area for stomach cancer].
abstract: According to results of endoscopic and pathological evaluations of gastric mucosa, we investigated some aspects of drinking water for three groups of subjects with various intragastric lesions from a high-risk area (Moping County) for stomach cancer. Their nitrate intakes via drinking water were estimated. The results showed that the occurrence of stomach cancer and other intragastric lesions in these subjects was closely related to their drinking water quality and nitrate intake via water.
