Celiac disease incidence in Jordanian children is 1:2,800 live births, with diagnosis often delayed. High wheat intake may contribute to celiac disease prevalence in this Arab population.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Autoimmune Diseases
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Celiac disease in Arab children is understudied.
  • Understanding its incidence and presentation is crucial for early detection.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence of celiac disease in Jordanian children.
  • To describe the clinical presentation and diagnostic challenges.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective study over 36 months.
  • Involved 34 diagnosed cases of celiac disease.
  • Calculated incidence and analyzed symptoms.

Main Results:

  • Incidence of celiac disease found to be 1:2,800 live births.
  • Mean age at diagnosis was 8.4 years, with diarrhea as the most common initial symptom.

  • High rates of anemia (71%) and rickets (26%) were observed at diagnosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Celiac disease is relatively common in Jordanian children.
    • Late diagnosis may be linked to prolonged breastfeeding, late cereal introduction, and overlapping symptoms with other conditions.
    • High wheat consumption may be a contributing factor.
