Examination of Coeliac Society records from eight areas of England has shown that the number of members rose with birth dates from 1900 to 1972, apart from a decline between 1941 to 1962, and then fell steeply. The steep decline in the number of members with birth dates after 1972 is unexplained, and is unlikely to be accounted for by change in diagnostic practice or registration and may reflect a true fall in disease incidence; but the fall in numbers of members with birth dates from 1941 to 1962 is explainable by a tendency for the disease to remit in adolescence or early adult life.
对来自英格兰八个地区的腹腔疾病协会记录进行审查后发现，从1900年到1972年，会员数量随着出生日期的增加而上升，但在1941年至1962年期间有所下降，随后急剧下降。1972年以后出生日期的会员数量急剧下降原因不明，不太可能是由诊断实践或登记的变化导致的，可能反映了疾病发病率的真实下降；但1941年至1962年出生日期的会员数量下降可以解释为该病在青春期或成年早期有缓解的趋势。
