| Abstrakt: | Introduction: We evaluated the associations between celiac disease (CD) prevalence and regional sociodemographic variables in the United States. Methods: The outcome was CD relative prevalence, defined as number of patients with CD among those in a Medicare registry per 3-digit ZIP code. Linear regression models assessed associations between relative prevalence of CD and sociodemographic variables. Results: CD relative prevalence was positively correlated with median income, urban area, and proximity to a CD specialty center and negatively correlated with Black race, Latino/Hispanic ethnicity, and median social deprivation index score ( P < 0.01, all). Discussion: CD relative prevalence is associated with indicators of economic advantage. (Copyright © 2023 by The American College of Gastroenterology.) |
