Our aim was to investigate whether pediatric CD patients have an increased risk of atherosclerosis. We evaluated the premature atherosclerosis by pulse wave velocity (PWV) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT). A total of 37 CD patients (20 girls, mean age 13±3.3 years) and 36 healthy age and sex matched controls were enrolled. Mean duration of CD was 47.1±32.3 months and 40.5% of patients had positive tissue transglutaminase antibody (tTg) IgA. Total cholesterol level was lower in CD (p=0.026) and cIMT was lower in tTg IgA antibody negative CD (p=0.030). cIMT was significantly correlated with tTg IgA antibody positivity (r=0.336; p=0.042). Adherence to strict gluten-free diet is associated with decreased cIMT, suggesting that gluten withdrawal seems to have a beneficial effect on premature atherosclerosis. | tr_TR |
