Quality of Life in Adolescents With Treated Coeliac Disease: Influence of Compliance and Age at Diagnosis

Abstract

Compliance with GFD is an essential factor to obtain optimal QOL. Psychosocial and educational support should be provided for patients having difficulties strictly adhering to GFD. Early CD onset and diagnosis is associated with better physical health, lower CD-associated burden and fewer social problems, indicating the importance of the earliest CD diagnosis possible.
