In this large cohort with endoscopic follow-up, DM was independently associated with increased gastric cancer incidence. The increased risk was independent of mucosal atrophy and intestinal metaplasia and was consistent in participants with newly developed DM during follow-up. Patients with DM may require more intensive endoscopic follow-up for gastric cancer screening.
