Abstract
<jats:p> <jats:bold>Introduction</jats:bold> . Celiac disease is a chronic autoimmune disease requiring a lifelong gluten-free diet. Despite the effectiveness of the diet in controlling symptoms, patients’ quality of life remains at risk due to limitations in social, emotional, and gastronomic spheres. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold>Aim</jats:bold> : to analyze current approaches to assessing the quality of life of patients with celiac disease in order to optimise strategies for providing care to this category of patients. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold>Key points.</jats:bold> Current research emphasizes the importance of not only clinical control, but also of psychosocial support for patients This review describes validated tools for assessing life quality in patients with celiac disease, highlighting the differential impact of the disease on children and adults, the specifics of adherence to and perceptions of a gluten-free diet, and regional and cultural differences in access to support and gluten-free products. An unfavorable psychological state can reduce adherence to a gluten-free diet, creating a vicious cycle. A comparison with other chronic diseases showed that with strict adherence to a gluten-free diet, celiac disease may have a lesser impact on quality of life. </jats:p> <jats:p> <jats:bold>Conclusion</jats:bold> . Optimizing quality of life requires a multidisciplinary approach — from cultural adaptation of life quality scales to psychological and social support for these patients and normalizing nutrition outside the home. </jats:p>
