Coeliac awareness campaign targets men
Monday, 28 March 2011 10:35
The 2011 Australian Coeliac Awareness Week commenced on 13th March, with a focus on raising awareness of the disease among men. Statistics indicate that men are far less likely than women to seek testing for coeliac disease, yet they are still at risk of developing the condition.
The awareness campaign features a dedicated website designed to help men identify symptoms and understand the importance of obtaining a clinical diagnosis and seeking appropriate treatment.
