En studie från Lunds universitet visar att färre kvinnor och barn – de största riskgrupperna – insjuknat i celiaki de senaste åren. Resultaten tyder även på att det spelar roll var du bor. Risken att få sjukdomen verkar högre i mindre samhällen/småstäder än på landsbygd eller i större städer. Flest skåningar har insjuknat i sydvästra Skåne. Nu ska forskarna undersöka olika miljöfaktorers roll för
