In order to investigate the chronological trend of atrophic gastritis, the stepwise biopsy of the lesser and greater curvatures of the stomach was performed on 570 subjects. The histological findings were analyzed in relation to the age and the site of the biopsy. Atrophic gastritis was found to expand proximally with advancing age, more rapidly extending on the lesser curvature than the greater curvature. The chronological expansion of atrophic gastritis may be considered a normal aspect of the ageing process of the stomach. The observation would reasonably suggest the existence of the stomach age as to the expansion of atrophic gastritis, indicating that the diagnosis of atrophic gastritis should be restricted to the certain subjects whose stomach age precedes its chronological age.
