Time Following a Gluten-Free Diet, Ultra-Processed Food Consumption and Quality of Life in Children with Celiac Disease. Appl.

Maintaining a strict gluten-free diet (GFD) may affect the quality of life of children with celiac disease (CD) and promote a less healthy diet by substituting gluten-containing foods with ultra-processed foods. We aimed to assess the influences of the GFD and ultra-processed food consumption on parents' perception of the quality of life of children with CD. Fifty-eight children (mean age 8.6 +/- 4.1 years) were included. The participants were divided into groups based on the time following a GFD: = 12 months (n = 37). Their dietary consumption was assessed through a three-day food record. The 20-item Celiac Disease Quality Of Life survey (CD-QOL), which contains four subscales (limitations, dysphoria, health concerns, and inadequate treatment) was used to assess the quality of life. The children who followed a GFD for >= 12 months presented poorer scores in the limitations subscale than those who followed a GFD for = 12 months presented poorer scores in the limitations subscale than those who followed a GFD forenAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/childhoodceliacdiet qualityenergy intakefast foodfood processingglutenlimitationsEuropean-societyObesityColonizationOverweightHumansChildDiet, Gluten-FreeFood, ProcessedQuality of LifeGlutensCeliac DiseaseDiet, HealthyEnergy IntakePerceptionresearch articleopen accessAlimentos procesadosCalidad de vidaDieta saludableDieta sin glutenEnfermedad celíacaGlútenesIngestión de energíaNiñoPercepción10.3390/app1222116802076-3417https://www.mdpi.com/2076-3417/12/22/11680/pdf?version=1668908497887119100001
