Prevalence of Celiac Disease in Children With Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus Increased in the Mid‐1990s: An 18‐year Longitudinal Study Based on Anti‐endomysial Antibodies

Abstract: Between 1987 and 2004, 331 consecutive children, all newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus in our pediatric clinic, underwent repeated serological screening for celiac disease (CD) by means of anti-endomysial antibodies, measured prospectively between 1994 and 2004, and retrospectively, using frozen banked serum, between 1987 and 1993. There were 22 cases (6.6%) of biopsy-proven CD among the 331 diabetic children. The prevalence of CD was significantly (P = 0.015) higher after 1994 (10.6%) than before … Show more

“…In Italy, the prevalence of celiac disease in children with type 1 diabetes is around 7% [9,10] , 3.6% of which at type 1 diabetes onset [9] , at a younger age [10] and in boys [10] ; moreover, according to a study by Salardi et al [11] , the prevalence of celiac disease has significantly increased since 1994 (10.6% vs 6.6%, P = 0.015), probably due to changes in environmental factors, namely, eating habits and viral infections.…”

“…The prevalence of CD among adults and children with T1DM varies in different geographical populations and is observed to range between 1 and 11 % [4][5][6][7]. This close association has been ascribed to the same HLA pattern, namely HLA-DQ2 and/or DQ8, which predisposes individuals to both disorders.…”

“…These data suggest the importance of screening for CD for patients with T1DM at the time of diabetes diagnosis and then annually for several years after diagnosis. In particular, antibody positivity for CD may appear within 6 years from the initial diagnosis of T1DM [4].…”

“…In 1999, the WHO-revised classification of diabetes based on the etiopathogenesis of the disease identifies only two categories-type 1 DM and type 2 DM [56]. Basically, type 1 DM is a polygenic disease with an auto-immune basis, and this has led to the speculation by several investigators that an auto-immune mechanism is also involved in the etiology of MMDM [58][59][60]. For instance, it has been observed that sub-clinical or 'silent' celiac disease is present in patients with MMDM and must be taken into consideration in the diagnosis of MMDM [59,60].…”
