Celiac disease is poorly diagnosed in elderly. Studies have suggested that the prevalence of celiac disease in ederly is higher. The base of diagnosis celiac disease is an analysis of antibodies against tissue transglutaminase and antibodies against endomysium. A pathological value of the test indicates the performance of gastroscopy with a biopsy of the aboral duodenum mucosa and the histological examination using the Marsh classification. This review summarizes prevalence of celiac disease in elderly, comorbidity, delay in diagnosis, benefit of gluten- free diet.

Keywords: celiac disease, ederly, diagnostics, prevalence, comorbidity
