Gastric acid secretion has been considered to decline with increasing age but this view is being re-evaluated as the importance of Helicobacter pylori infection emerges. This study aimed to determine the effect of age, H pylori, and gastritis with atrophy on the serum gastrin concentration, gastric secretory volumes, and acid output in healthy, asymptomatic men. Young men (mean (SD) age 22.9 (0.6) years; n=22) were compared with old men (72.9 (1.2) years; n=28) in respect of basal serum gastrin and basal, sham fed, pentagastrin stimulated maximal and peak acid secretion. Antral, corpus, and fundal biopsy specimens were taken for histology and H pylori status (histology, culture, and rapid urease test). H pylori associated gastritis was present in three of 22 young (13.6%) and 16 of 28 old (57.1%) men. Gastritis with atrophy was present in 11 old subjects, 10 of whom were H pylori positive. These subjects had higher mean (SD) serum gastrin concentrations than old subjects without atrophy and young subjects (61-8 (9.2); 40.0 (2-9); 36.8 (2.3) pmol/l respectively; p
