Healthcare Disparities May Contribute To Underdiagnosis Of Celiac Disease
Editor Notes

During Digestive Diseases Week 2023, Columbia University Medicine GI fellow Dr. Haley Zylberberg presented a poster based on 2016 Medicare claims data at the three-digit zip code level.

This data – from a multi-year partnership with Beyond Celiac and the National Minority Quality Forum — focuses on celiac disease and the impact of race, income and address. The research found that being higher income, living in an urban area and living close to a celiac disease center are all positively correlated with celiac disease prevalence, while being a Black or Hispanic/Latino person is negatively correlated. These results suggest that disparities in health care access may contribute to the underdiagnosis of celiac disease, particularly among minority populations in the United States.

Since 2003, Beyond Celiac has been the leading patient advocacy and research-driven celiac disease organization working to drive diagnosis, advance research and accelerate the discovery of new treatments and a cure.
