Abstract
⺠Serum parietal cell autoantibodies (PCA) are typical of autoimmune gastritis. ⺠In the general population PCA are more frequent in postmenopausal women. ⺠PCA are more frequent in people with insulin resistance. ⺠Smoking and alcohol consumption have a strong protective association with PCA. ⺠In patients who smoke or drink alcohol, clinicians should be cautious about PCA.
