OBJECTIVE
Health literacy levels among the general population predict better health outcomes and uptake of health services. Inequities in health literacy and uptake of health services are often observed in deprived neighborhoods. There is a paucity of data on literacy regarding celiac disease in Kuwait. Therefore, the present survey aims to address this paucity of data.
RESULTS
We conducted a survey of 350 respondents in six governates of Kuwait. Although around 51% of respondents were aware of peanut allergy and gluten sensitivity, less than 15% were aware of celiac disease. More than 40% of respondents reported that a gluten-free diet should be promoted for everyone. Better awareness regarding CD was associated with Kuwaiti nationality, higher education levels and higher age. Among different governates, residents of Al-Asimah reported the highest awareness levels, while the rest of the governates did not differ significantly. While eating behavior did not significantly predict awareness regarding CD.
目的
一般人群的健康素养水平可预测更好的健康结果和对卫生服务的利用。在贫困社区，健康素养和卫生服务的利用存在不平等现象。科威特有关乳糜泻的读写能力数据稀缺。因此，本调查旨在填补这一数据空白。
结果
我们在科威特六个省对 350 名受访者进行了调查。尽管约 51%的受访者知晓花生过敏和麸质敏感性，但知晓乳糜泻的不到 15%。超过 40%的受访者表示应提倡所有人采用无麸质饮食。对 CD 的更好认识与科威特国籍、更高的教育水平和更高的年龄有关。在不同的省份中，Al-Asimah 的居民报告的认知水平最高，而其他省份之间没有显著差异。虽然饮食行为与对 CD 的认知没有显著相关。
