Abstract

Despite the tendency to westernize our way of life, the Malagasy culture keeps its peculiarities. We report the epidemiological features of patients with cholelithiasis in our population in order to raise hypothesis about their risk factors. This is a retrospective descriptive multicenter and analytical case-control study of patients with cholelithiasis as "cases" and non-carriers of cholelithiasis as "controls". The odds ratios (ORs) were calculated with a 95% confidence interval to verify the correlation between food consumption and the occurrence of cholelithiasis. 51 patients were respectively enrolled for both groups. Consumption of animal products and legumes, such as offal (OR 95% CI 3.23-1.36-7.67), chicken (OR 95% CI 8.85 [3.02-25.9]), peas (OR 95% CI 1.13 [0.43 - 2.95]) and Bambara peas (OR 95% CI 1.31 [0.57 - 3.01 ]) would expose the risk of occurrence of cholelithiasis. In contrast, whole milk (OR 95% CI 1.27 [0.58 - 2.77]), sweet potato (OR 95% CI 0.72 [0.23 - 2.25]) and cassava (OR 95% CI 0.83 [0.36 - 1.92]) would be a protective factor. To conclude, the diversification of our fruits and vegetables could be an asset to reduce the frequency of occurrence of cholelithiasis, giving priority to their consumption.
