Abstract:
Individualizing risk factors is the most important tool to prevent late consequences of menopause. Celiac disease is a predisposing condition not very considered for some postmenopausal diseases, such as postmenopausal osteoporosis. In this review the authors examine climacteric conditions that could be heightened by a celiac status especially if disregarded and untreated.
