“…Overall, the results reported in the present study are similar to those of other studies reporting an improvement in perceived QoL since diagnosis and commencement of the gluten-free diet (Hallert et al, 1998;Green et al, 2001;Lee & Newman, 2003;Johnston et al, 2004;Cranney et al, 2007;Casellas et al, 2008;Black & Orfila, 2011). The negative impact on QoL was most striking when the areas of social activities, length of time on the diet and compliance were queried.…”

“…The coeliac diet and disease-specific questions were used previously in a pilot study (Lee & Newman, 2003) and are included in a validated diseasespecific QoL tool (Dorn et al, 2010b). The SF-12 is a validated QoL instrument, which has been used to assess the status of individuals with coeliac disease in numerous studies (Hallert et al, 1998(Hallert et al, , 2003Mustalahti et al, 2002;Johnston et al, 2004;Casellas et al, 2008). The coeliac diet and disease-specific questions asked about areas of dietary compliance, the impact of dietary compliance on QoL issues, such as travel, family life, health perception, social activities and dining out.…”

“…Like Hauser et al (2006), Hallert et al (1998) found that CD patients on a GF diet for 10 years had lower QoL than the general population. Hauser et al and Hallert et al found that adherence to the GF diet is related to QoL, but that the GF diet alone does not make CD patients similar to the general population in terms of QoL.…”

“…Further, there is an association with increased depression (Addolorato et al, 2001), anxiety (Addolorato et al, 2001), and fatigue (Siniscalchi et al, 2005). Low levels of quality of life (QoL) (Hallert et al, 2002;Hallert et al, 1998) and low levels of health-related quality of life (Häuser, Gold, Caspary, & Stallmach, 2006;Häuser, Stallmach, Caspary, & Stein, 2007) have also been associated with CD.…”

The Relationship of Physical Activity and Aerobic Fitness with Health-Related Quality of Life and Executive Function in Celiac Disease Patients

Celiac Disease (CD) is a multisystem disorder that is caused by gluten and affects approximately 1% of the United States population. Approximately 10% of CD patients have neurological complications, such as ataxia, brain atrophy, dementia, epileptic seizures, peripheral neuropathy, and cognitive impairment. CD patients have also been found to have lower health-related quality of life (HRQL) than the general population. Given the established relationships of physical activity and aerobic fitness with HRQL and executive function in other chronic disease populations and in older adults, it seems likely that these same relationships may exist for CD patients. However, these relationships have not been investigated. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to determine if both physical activity (number of vigorous bouts of physical activity/week; MET hours/week) and aerobic fitness were positive predictors of HRQL and executive function in CD patients. The relationship of functional fitness with those same outcome variables was also explored given the established positive relationship between functional fitness and HRQL. Separate canonical correlations were used for the HRQL composite and the executive function composite with the physical activity measures, aerobic fitness, and functional fitness. Canonical correlations for the HRQL composite with number of vigorous bouts of physical activity/week, MET hours/week, aerobic fitness, or functional fitness were not statically significant. However, canonical correlations for the executive function composite with number of vigorous bouts of physical activity/week (R c = .55; p=0.02) and functional fitness (R c = .57; p=0.01) were statistically significant. The results do not support positive relationships for any of the predictor variables with HRQL, and this may be due to our high functioning CD sample, which scored higher than normative scores on measures of HRQL. However, these findings do support a positive relationship for number of vigorous bouts of physical activity/week and functional fitness with executive function.
