Massive spanish study maps celiac disease trends across generations
NCT ID NCT05094232
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at how common celiac disease is in Spain and what factors might influence it. Researchers tested nearly 5,000 people of all ages across five regions using blood tests and biopsies. They aimed to understand why earlier studies found different rates in children versus adults, and whether environment, age, or location play a role.
