Percentage of the patients of the three groups who had normal BMD, osteopenia or osteoporosis, evaluated both at the lumbar spine and femoral neck. The frequency of osteopenia and osteoporosis was significantly different in the three groups, increasing from IBS to NCWS, and to CD patients (P <0.0001, Spearman’s rank correlation). BMD, bone mass density; CD, celiac disease; IBS, irritable bowel syndrome; NCWS, non-celiac wheat sensitivity.
