The Claim
The prevalence of celiac autoimmunity in individuals with autoimmune thyroid disease is not significantly different between males and females, with reported rates of 9.18% in males and 8.24% in females.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Among people with autoimmune thyroid disease, the rate of celiac autoimmunity is similar in men and women, at 9.18% and 8.24% respectively.
See the scientific wording
The prevalence of celiac autoimmunity in autoimmune thyroid disease does not appear to differ significantly between males and females, with rates of 9.18% in males and 8.24% in females, suggesting no strong sex-based disparity in this comorbidity.
People with certain inherited gene variants develop an immune response to gluten that mistakenly attacks both the gut and the thyroid because the proteins in these tissues look similar to the immune system. This causes both celiac disease and autoimmune thyroid disease to occur together at similar rates in men and women.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: Celiac autoimmunity in autoimmune thyroid disease is highly prevalent with a questionable impact
In people with thyroid autoimmunity, about 9% of men and 8% of women also showed signs of celiac autoimmunity — so men and women are about equally likely to have both conditions together.
