Prevalence and predictors of abnormal bone mineral metabolism in recently diagnosed adult celiac patients

Abstract: Low BMD is common in newly diagnosed adult celiac patients with approximately one fifth of them having osteoporosis. BMD should be measured in all newly diagnosed celiac patients and calcium and vitamin D supplementation included in the treatment regimen.

“…An Indian report showed low BMD measurement in earlier age of CD. In this study, all CD patients were also less than 50 years old, 39% of patients had normal BMD, and 61% of newly diagnosed CD cases had low BMD and lumbar and femoral BMD were not separated, but they did not mention to the confounding risk factors for low BMD [33]. Pritcha et al also showed that 56% of CD patients had normal BMD, 28% osteopenia, and 5% osteoporosis.…”

“…There have been numerous reports on the insufficiency of fat -soluble vitamins in adult subjects with gluten enteropathy. 29,30 The plasma or serum concentrations of α -tocopherol exceeding 16.2 μmol/l are considered as sufficient; the levels ranging from 11.6 to 16.2 indicate low vitamin E levels, and the levels of less than 11.6 μmol/l suggest a deficiency. Recently, it has been proposed that the adequate plasma concentration of α -tocopherol to prevent neoplasm and cardiovascular disorders is more than 30 μmol/l.…”

“…The observed prevalence of low BMD in this consecutively diagnosed cohort of adult CD patients was approximately 60%, in line with previously reported prevalence data (40%-75%). [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The gender ratio reflected the usual distribution of CD (females:males ¼ 2:1), making our cohort a suitable representation of the gender distribution in CD. 13,23 Previous studies considered primarily female coeliac patients (both pre-and post-menopausal), patients who had been on a GFD for variable periods of time or also included children in their evaluation, representing important biases in the assessment of the prevalence of BMD alterations in adults with CD.…”

“…3 It has been demonstrated that up to 75% of patients with coeliac disease (CD) suffer from bone mass loss (osteopenia or osteoporosis). [4][5][6][7][8][9][10] Despite the strong association between low BMD and CD, guidelines do not express with certainty whether each patient with a new diagnosis of CD should undergo a DEXA scan. [11][12][13] At present, DEXA investigations are suggested only for patients with CD who are peri-or post-menopausal females or males over 55 years and those with overt malabsorption or a history of fragility fractures.…”
