Celiac.com 01/20/2001 - Italian researchers have identified several key factors that contribute to bone loss in adults with celiac disease, including the following:
Gender Malnutrition Disease Severity Physical Activity They also conclude that, contrary to current belief, age at diagnosis, sunlight exposure and smoking do not seem to be significant factors in bone mineral density. In their study, Dr. Gino Roberto Corazza (University of Pavia) and associates evaluated 39 adults with untreated celiac disease, including 18 who had symptoms and 21 who did not. The researchers used dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry to measure lumbar spine and femoral neck bone mineral density, and assessed the patients physical activity...
Celiac.com 02/20/2009 - Doctors are recommending screening for bone density in children with newly diagnosed celiac disease.
A team of researchers recently set out to evaluate children with celiac disease for bone deficits in spine (SP) and whole body (WB) bone mineral content (BMC) at time of diagnosis, and to evaluate whether such deficits are associated with deviations in growth and body composition. Additionally, the team sought to assess the effect of histological grade on BMC.
The research team was made up of doctors Muralidhar Jatla, Zemel, S. Babette, Patricia Bierly, and Ritu Verma associated with the Department of Pediatrics, Division of Gastroenterology and Nutrition, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, Philadelphia

Celiac.com 12/03/2009 - Clinicians recently described a case of severe osteoporosis with high bone turnover, in which they found neutralizing autoantibodies against osteoprotegerin to be present. They also report finding autoantibodies against osteoprotegerin in three additional patients with celiac disease.
The clinical team reporting the findings was made up of Philip L. Riches, M.R.C.P., Euan McRorie, F.R.C.P., William D. Fraser, Ph.D., F.R.C.Path., Catherine Determann, B.Med.Sci., Rob van’t Hof, Ph.D., and Stuart H. Ralston, M.D. They are associated with the Rheumatic Diseases Unit, Institute of Genetics and Molecular Medicine, University of Edinburgh, Western General Hospital, Edinburgh (P.L.R., E.M., C.D., R.H., S.H.R.); and the Unit of Clinical Chemistry, School of Clinical Sciences, ...
Celiac.com 12/15/2014 - Non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), aka `wheat sensitivity’ (NCWS), is currently included in the spectrum of gluten-related disorders.
Many people with celiac disease suffer from low bone mass density, but there has been no good data on low bone mass density in people with NCWS.
A team of researchers recently set out to determine rates of low bone mass density in NCWS patients and to search for correlations with other clinical characteristics. The researchers included Antonio Carroccio, Maurizio Soresi, Alberto D'Alcamo, Carmelo Sciumè, Giuseppe Iacono, Girolamo Geraci, Ignazio Brusca, Aurelio Seidita, Floriana Adragna, Miriam Carta and Pasquale Mansueto.
For their prospective observation study, the team assessed 75 NCWS patients (63 women; median age...
