Celiac.com 03/13/2017 - A team of researchers recently set out to determine whether there might exist ethnic differences in celiac disease autoimmunity in children at 6 years of age, and if present, to assess how these differences may be explained by known sociodemographic and environmental factors.
The research team included Michelle A E Jansen, Sytske A Beth, Diana van den Heuvel, Jessica C Kiefte-de Jong, Hein Raat, Vincent W V Jaddoe, Menno C van Zelm, and Henriette A Moll. They are variously affilated with the Generation R Study Group, Erasmus MC, University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands; the Department of Paediatrics, the Department of Immunology, and the Department of Epidemiology, Erasmus MC, University Medical Center, Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and with the Depa...

Celiac.com 11/08/2023 - Autistic adults often face more significant health challenges than their non-autistic counterparts, as revealed by numerous epidemiological studies. Although this issue has been explored, research has mainly been confined to specific geographical areas and has centered on young autistic individuals aged 35 and under. 
Recent research points to a higher mortality rate in autistic people and less satisfactory self-reported healthcare experiences. A team of researchers recently set out to examine increased rates of chronic physical health conditions in autistic adolescents and adults. 
The research team included John H. Ward, Elizabeth Weir, Carrie Allison & Simon Baron-Cohen. They are variously affiliated with the Royal Devon University NHS Foundation T...

Celiac.com 10/16/2025 - People living with celiac disease face more than just the challenge of avoiding gluten. This condition, which causes the immune system to attack the small intestine after eating gluten, can lead to long-term complications if untreated. One of the most concerning complications is the increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Because of this, many healthcare providers recommend that patients undergo bone mineral density testing, often with a scan called Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). However, doctors have debated the best time to perform this test. Should it be done right when celiac disease is diagnosed, or later in life? This study set out to answer that question by carefully analyzing bone health in hundreds of patients with celiac disease.
