Associations between residential greenness, land cover and risk of celiac disease in genetically at‐risk children: Celiac Prediction in Skåne study

Key Points

This research aims to investigate the relationship between residential greenness and the risk of celiac disease in children with genetic predisposition.
Exploratory observational study design
Focus on children genetically at risk for celiac disease
Conducted in the Skåne province
Increased risk of celiac disease associated with residential greenness observed in the Skåne province
Findings are exploratory and need replication in other populations
Potential environmental factors influencing celiac disease risk identified but require further investigation

Abstract

Residential greenness was associated with increased CeD risk in the Skåne province. This exploratory observational finding warrants replication in independent populations before conclusions can be drawn regarding potential environmental drivers in the etiology of CeD.
