GOMES, Itallo Carvalho; BELLO, Patrícia Cruz; HERNANDEZ, Maria de Lourdes García y MURILLO, Olga Osório. Lifestyle and celiac symptoms in Mexican adolescents and young adults. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2023, vol.serVI, n.2, e23.6.29170. Epub 26-Feb-2024. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rvi23.6.29170.
Background:
Celiac disease is an autoimmune pathology of the small intestine mucosa that develops in genetically predisposed people. The treatment is the adoption of healthy lifestyles and, in particular, a gluten-free diet.
Objective:
To correlate lifestyle and celiac symptoms in Mexican adolescents and young adults, comparing gender and age.
Methodology:
A descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted. Using the virtual snowball technique on the social networking platform Facebook, a non-probabilistic sample of 152 individuals with celiac disease between the ages of 15 and 35 was obtained.
Results:
The celiac symptom index indicated a significant, negative correlation with lifestyle. The participants showed significant differences in lifestyle based on age and gender.
Conclusion:
A correlation between lifestyle and celiac disease symptoms in Mexican adolescents and young adults indicates that these individuals may not lead a healthy lifestyle. As a result, they show symptoms of the disease.
