[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST g17R0x81. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study assessed whether an association exists between household pets and peptic ulcer disease. Methods. Canadian adults (n=15 779) were asked about cats or dogs in their household and about history of peptic ulcer disease. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between pet ownership and a history of peptic ulcer disease, after adjustment for sociodemographic differences. Results. No relationship was observed between report of household pets and a history of peptic ulcer disease (adjusted odds ratio=1.14,95% confidence interval=0.95,1.36). Conclusions. In a large sample of Canadian adults, no association was observed between pet ownership and a history of peptic ulcer disease.
