Abstract

Introduction: gastritis is a common entity in the general population. In university students it is associated with decreased academic performance.

Objective: to describe the most common causes in the development of gastritis in university students.

Methods: a search for information was carried out using the SciELO database and Google Scholar. For the collection of information, specific formulas were used for each database, by combining terms using Boolean operators. For the selection of the information, we proceeded to determine among the articles retrieved, the monographs, theses, articles and other refereed information published between 2020 and 2022.

Development: the available bibliography on gastritis in university students is scarce in the Latin American and Ecuadorian context. Personal, food and water hygiene factors converge in the development of gastritis, which favors infection by Helicobacter Pylori, the main causal agent. Factors such as smoking habits and alcohol consumption affect the gastric mucosa and predispose to the development of gastritis. Stress is an important agent in university students for the development of this disease. Educational campaigns aimed at students should be designed, as well as measures for its treatment.

Conclusions: Helicobacter Pylori, hygienic-sanitary conditions, deficient and poorly nutritious food and stress are identified as the main causal factors of gastritis.
