A retrospective cross-sectional study using the database of Clalit Health Services in Israel included 5520 newly diagnosed CD children aged 2\u201318 between 2002 and 2018. Data on BMI, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status (SES) were collected and analyzed Of the 5520 CD patients, 57.5% were female, 39.7% had low SES, and 77.1% were Jewish. At diagnosis, 13.1% were underweight, 73% had normal BMI, 9.1% overweight, and 4.8% were obese. Underweight and obese patients tended to be older at diagnosis (9 years) compared with normal and overweight patients (8 years) (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). A higher proportion of Arab patients were underweight, while more Jewish patients were obese. Lower SES was significantly associated with increased underweight risk (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001). Over time, diagnosed patients had improved SES and were less underweight (\n                    <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).

Underweight was associated with older age at diagnosis, poverty, and Arab ethnicity. Obesity was associated with older age and was more frequent in Jewish and male patients. Physicians should have a low threshold for CD screening regardless of BMI status to enable timely diagnosis and treatment to prevent long-term health consequences.\n                  <\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    <jats:table-wrap>\n                      <jats:table>\n                        <jats:tbody>\n                          <jats:tr>\n                            <jats:td colspan=\"2\">\n                              <jats:bold>What Is Known:<\/jats:bold>\n                              <jats:italic>\u2022 Celiac disease is traditionally associated with underweight due to malabsorption, but recent reports suggest an increasing prevalence of overweight and obesity in pediatric patients at diagnosis<\/jats:italic>\n                              <jats:bold>What Is New:<\/jats:bold>\n                              <jats:italic>\u2022 This study found that underweight prevalence decreased significantly over time, while overweight and obesity prevalence remained unchanged.
