What is the prevalence of Celiac Disease?
How many people does Celiac Disease affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
Celiac Disease is a common autoimmune disorder affecting the small intestine. It is estimated that approximately 1% of the global population is affected by this condition. However, it is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, making the actual prevalence potentially higher. Celiac Disease is more common in individuals with a family history of the condition and those with certain genetic markers. Symptoms can vary widely, ranging from mild to severe, and can include gastrointestinal issues, fatigue, and nutrient deficiencies. A gluten-free diet is the primary treatment for managing Celiac Disease.
Celiac Disease is a common autoimmune disorder that affects the small intestine. It is estimated to have a prevalence of approximately 1% of the global population. This means that around 1 in every 100 individuals worldwide is affected by this condition. However, it is important to note that the prevalence can vary across different populations and regions.
Celiac Disease is more commonly diagnosed in individuals of European descent, with a higher prevalence in countries like Ireland, Italy, and Finland. In these populations, the prevalence can be as high as 1 in 100 individuals. On the other hand, the prevalence in Asian, African, and Hispanic populations tends to be lower.
It is worth mentioning that Celiac Disease is often underdiagnosed or misdiagnosed, which can lead to an underestimation of its true prevalence. Many individuals may experience symptoms but remain undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness or atypical presentations.
If you suspect you may have Celiac Disease or are experiencing symptoms such as digestive issues, fatigue, or nutrient deficiencies, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Coeliac disease is slightly more common among women than men. About 1 person in 100 suffers from the condition

In my country of Ireland they reckon about 10% are celiac. The number is much lower in the UK and drops further the further east into Europe you go. I don't know the rate in the USA but I suspect many existing cases would be in people of Irish descent. It can affect both men and women and all age groups. Some can go undiagnosed through childhood or may not be diagnosed until much later in life.
