Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Coeliac Disease: a Series of Studies
Sponsor: University of Pecs
Summary
This investigation examines the most important cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., metabolic parameters, body composition) and their changes in coeliac disease. The series of studies allow to assess body composition and cardiovascular risk-related metabolic parameters of newly diagnosed and treated coeliac patients in their complexity and to test if they change during therapy. The interventional part of the investigation aims to answer the question if a dietary intervention mitigates the unfavorable effects of unbalanced diet.

Conditions
Interventions
Dietary intervention
Patients will participate in a structured, group-based dietary counseling. Consultations will be organized online (Zoom meeting) lasting approximately 60 min/occasion. The intervention will include 6 sessions for 1 year (monthly for 5 months and finally at month 9). The aim of the counseling is to maintain a GFD and to develop a healthy lifestyle, in line with the Mediterranean diet.
Standard of care
Patients will receive standard of care and baseline dietary education.
Cardiovascular risk-related parameters
Anthropometric measurements (body height, body composition assessment-InBody 770), questionnaires (symptoms, quality of life, dietary adherence, diet quality, cardiovascular risk), assessment of sarcopenia (handgrip dynamometer), urine collection (dietary adherence - urine gluten immunogenic peptide detection), blood collection (immunological tests, hormone levels complemented with routine laboratory panel), transabdominal US examination to assess the extent of fatty liver disease.
