While celiac disease is estimated to affect about 1% of the world’s population, it is thought to be uncommon not only in India but also in the whole Asia. There is a lack of studies on the prevalence of celiac disease from Asian nations.
I have found some researching study done in north of China, between 2003 to 2008 have been screened 62 between women, men, young people between 28 to 73 years old and 4 people have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease .
These findings show that, contrary to the previous medical thinking that celiac is a disease predominantly affecting Caucasian Europeans, the condition is better understood as “one of the most common hereditary and non, disorders worldwide.
