Evaluation of the risk level for celiac disease among adults in semi-rural and urban areas (Moungo and Wouri) in Cameroon: a questionnaire based study
These findings represent potential risk of celiac disease based on symptoms and risk factors. This questionnaire-based risk assessment study highlights that a significant proportion of the Cameroonian population could be at risk of developing celiac disease. Therefore, proper diagnostics such as serological testing should be urgently conducted in further studies to confirm these observations.
