Personality Traits Are Associated with Dietary Behaviors and Psychosocial Outcomes in Adolescents with Celiac Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study.

New evidencepediatricdiet therapy
Clinical takeawayCross-sectional and small, so no basis for personality testing in clinic. Screen adolescents with celiac disease for anxiety, depression and maladaptive eating, and involve a dietitian when adherence lags.
What it foundHigher openness was associated with poorer GFD adherence (CDAT < 13, β = -0.44, p = 0.02), more maladaptive food behaviors (CD-FAB mean: 32.0, β = 0.45, p = 0.01), and lower QOL (CDPQOL mean: 62.8, β = -6.08, p = 0.011), while higher neuroticism was linked to increased anxiety (STAI-C, β = 6.12, p < 0.001) and depression (CES-DC, β = 4.21, p = 0.006).
ContextUS referral centre; 62% had good or excellent adherence.
No standard claimed for this paper

Every paper is compared to the standard governing its question. This one is not: either no standard in the corpus matches it, or the comparison did not hold up on review and was withdrawn rather than published unverified. Both are logged.
