To date, the primary and only treatment recommended for effective management of celiac disease (CD) is adherence to a strict gluten-free diet (GFD) which entails a new approach to eating that affects the social quality of life (QoL) and physical activity (PA) of patients. This cross-sectional study aimed at assessing the social QoL and PA of adult Lebanese CD patients aged between 18 and 59 years old who are following a GFD. An online CD questionnaire was administered to 136 Lebanese celiac participants on a GFD. The findings of this study show a significant association between celiac patients following a GFD and their social QoL (P-value = 0.0001). The results also showed a significant association between the same population and their PA (p-value = 0.0001). Further awareness-raising and learning activities about gluten-free products are needed to improve the adherence to a strict GFD to facilitate its availability to the Lebanese population.
迄今为止,推荐用于有效管理乳糜泻(CD)的主要且唯一的治疗方法是坚持严格的无麸质饮食(GFD),这需要一种全新的饮食方式,会影响患者的社会生活质量(QoL)和身体活动(PA)。这项横断面研究旨在评估年龄在18至59岁之间、遵循无麸质饮食的成年黎巴嫩乳糜泻患者的社会生活质量和身体活动情况。向136名遵循无麸质饮食的黎巴嫩乳糜泻参与者发放了一份在线乳糜泻问卷。该研究结果表明,遵循无麸质饮食的乳糜泻患者与其社会生活质量之间存在显著关联(P值 = 0.0001)。结果还显示,同一人群与其身体活动之间也存在显著关联(p值 = 0.0001)。需要开展更多关于无麸质产品的提高认识和学习活动,以提高对严格无麸质饮食的依从性,从而方便黎巴嫩人群获取此类产品。
