Body mass index is not a reliable tool in predicting celiac disease in children.
(2014) In BMC Pediatrics 14(1).- Abstract
- Untreated celiac disease is traditionally believed to be associated with malabsorption and underweight. However, studies describing body mass index (BMI) in individuals at the time of diagnosis have shown contradictory results. We investigated the differences in weight, height, and BMI in 12- year-old children with screening-detected celiac disease compared to their healthy peers.
