Özet

Objectives. Celiac disease (CD), a common cause of malabsorption, is known to be associated with disorders of the skeleton, but there are conflicting data about the effect of diet on bone metabolism. The aims of this study were to investigate the prevalence of osteopenia; to identify the relationship between bone mineral density (BMD), serum calcium, and parathyroid hormone levels; and to determine the effect of gluten-free diet on BMD in children with celiac disease.
