Prevalence and characteristics of adults avoiding gluten without celiac disease: a long-term population-based follow-up study
The prevalence of PWAG multiplied over a decade, reaching 0.7% in 2011 in Finland. The PWAG group maintained more likely additional dietary restrictions than those not avoiding gluten and had signs of psychosocial burden. No predicting factors for the condition were identified.
