In Ecuador it has a high incidence of (70 and 80%), which is acquired at an early age due to exposure to various risk factors. The objective of this study was to establish the risk factors associated with Helicobacter pylori infection in students of the Pedro Carbo Educational Unit of the Guaranda canton, in order to determine its incidence and the risk factors that are directly related to the infection. A cross-sectional, observational and retrospective study was carried out, analyzing 133 stool samples for the detection of the Helicobacter pylori antigen by the immunochromatographic method, in addition, surveys were used for the collection of data/information and the SPSS Statistics Base program for the creation and analysis of graphs and tables. It was identified that the main risk factors associated with Helicobacter Pylori infection in the institution are: coexistence among several people (overcrowding), the non-availability of basic services, eating in the street, and the consumption of tap water at home.
