Abstract

Objective: To investigate the characteristics of tongue diagnosis and its association with demographic and clinical features using an automated tongue image analysis system in patients with atrophic gastritis. Subjects and Methods: The study subjects were patients who attended outpatient consultations at Campus 1 and Campus 2 of University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City. Results: The mean age was 47.75 ± 12.83 years, with the majority aged ≥40 years (73.17%). The most common BMI group was normal weight (41.46%). Females accounted for 51.83% and manual laborers 54.27%. Common symptoms included belching (33.65%), bloating (30.77%), and epigastric pain (30.13%). Comorbidities included hypertension (20.12%), dyslipidemia (17.68%), and diabetes mellitus (7.32%). One-third of patients tested positive for Helicobacter pylori; 9.15% were smokers. Common tongue features included: pink tongue body (29.27%), white coating (57.32%), thin coating (67.07%), moist tongue (82.32%), normal tongue shape (57.32%), fissures (56.71%), petechiae (58.54%), and teeth marks (37.85%). Conclusion: Factors such as age, BMI, occupation, smoking habits, epigastric pain, and dyslipidemia were statistically associated with tongue features identified by the automated analysis system in patients with atrophic gastritis (p <0.05).
