Abstract

Background: Celiac disease is an autoimmune pathology of the small intestine mucosa that develops in genetically predisposed people. The treatment is the adoption of healthy lifestyles and, in particular, a gluten-free diet.Objective: To correlate lifestyle and celiac symptoms in Mexican adolescents and young adults, com-paring gender and age.Methodology: A descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted. Using the virtu-al snowball technique on the social networking platform Facebook, a non-probabilistic sample of 152 individuals with celiac disease between the ages of 15 and 35 was obtained.Results: The celiac symptom index indicated a significant, negative correlation with lifestyle. The participants showed significant differences in lifestyle based on age and gender.Conclusion: A correlation between lifestyle and celiac disease symptoms in Mexican adolescents and young adults indicates that these individuals may not lead a healthy lifestyle. As a result, they show symptoms of the disease.
