Authors carried out the endoscopic staining method using Congo red to patients with peptic ulcer of Japanese, Korean in Japan and German. From the functional fundo-pyloric border determined endoscopically, it was confirmed that there was a racial difference in the location of ulcer and chronic changes of the gastric mucosa underlying peptic ulcer, that is, the extent of atrophic gastritis. Furthermore, it was proved that the development of chronic atrophic gastritis howed a discrepancy of age between three races. Age when chronic atrophic gastritis was detected in over 50% of subjects, was thirties in Japanese, forties in korean in Japan and sixties in German. From the epidemiological investigation of the development of chronic atrophic gastritis, only high salt containing food was considered to show a significant difference between Japanese and Korean in Japan, . that is, the latter ate salty food much more than the former.
