The occurrence of bacterial overgrowth rises with age. Atrophic gastritis, a chronic inflammation of the stomach that affects an estimated 20 to 30% of healthy seniors, is the leading cause of decreased gastric acid secretion, which predisposes individuals to bacterial overgrowth.

In a study, 78% of the 157 patients diagnosed with IBS also tested positive for SIBO using the hydrogen breath test. This is a significant finding for those with IBS, as SIBO can be effectively treated.
