According to a 2021 meta-analysis, the seroprevalence of celiac disease in the general Chinese population was found to be approximately 0.27%, which, while seemingly low, still accounts for a large number of potentially undiagnosed individuals. However, this is significantly less than the estimated 1% global prevalence, raising the question: is gluten free common in China?

Recent meta-analyses indicate that while biopsy-confirmed cases are rare, the seroprevalence of celiac disease autoimmunity in China's general population is around 0.27%, with significantly higher rates in high-risk individuals. This suggests that celiac disease is substantially more common than historical reports indicate and is an emerging concern for Chinese health professionals.
