Anthropometric Parameters in Celiac Disease: A Review on the Different Evaluation Methods and Disease Effects by Allysson Costa, Gleisson A. P. Brito

“…The main evaluation method was dual x-ray absorptiometry (83.3%), followed by bioimpedance (16.6%), skinfold thickness (16.6%), and isotope dilution (5.5%). This compilation suggests that celiac disease patients without a gluten-free diet (WGFD) and celiac disease patients with a gluten-free diet (GFD) show a lower body mass than the control group, with inconclusive data about WGFD versus GFD. …”
