Case-control
Key result
Celiac disease was associated with higher 24-hour, day, and night pulse wave velocity values compared to healthy controls (P<0.05), indicating increased arterial stiffness.

May warrant vascular assessment in celiac patients without traditional risks; leaves open causal mechanisms and therapeutic implications.

Is celiac disease associated with increased arterial stiffness in patients without traditional cardiovascular risk factors?
p-value: p=<0.05
Celiac disease is associated with increased arterial stiffness and inflammatory markers even in the absence of traditional cardiovascular risk factors.
Korkmaz et al. (2015) conducted an observational in Celiac disease. Celiac disease vs. Healthy controls was evaluated on Arterial stiffness assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) (p=<0.05). Celiac disease was associated with higher 24-hour, day, and night pulse wave velocity values compared to healthy controls (P<0.05), indicating increased arterial stiffness.
