  1. Displayed are mean and standard deviation for the Sydney-scaled degree of glandular atrophy and IM for each antrum and corpus (for "total", the highest score of both localisations was counted). Significant differences between intestinal and diffuse type GC are marked with an asterisk (*) applying a two-sided significance level of p < 0.05.
