The Bedouin population of southern Israel is a traditional Muslim community with a tribal structure and a low socioeconomic status. The objective was to assess health-related quality of life in celiac disease (CD-QOL) and its associated factors, in particular the barriers of price (BP) and family life (BF), among Bedouin patients. Methods. A cross-sectional study based on structured questionnaires. Results. The knowledge level on CD among 107 study participants was extremely low. The mean (SD) on the CD-QOL score was 49.7 (9.1), indicating a relatively good QOL. Barriers of price increased the score on CD-QOL (i.e., decreased QOL) by 5.57 (95% CI, 2.33; 8.80), and BF by 6.48 (3.30; 9.67). Female sex increased the total score of CD-QOL and education beyond elementary school reduced it. Conclusions. Educational interventions should be implemented at family and tribal levels. Partial coverage for gluten-free diet could improve the QOL of these patients.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1353\/hpu.2026.a998557","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T09:45:03Z","timestamp":1786614303000},"page":"1056-1069","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quality of Life Among Celiac Patients from the Bedouin Muslim Minority of Southern Israel"],"prefix":"10.1353","volume":"37","author":[{"given":"Yulia","family":"Treister-Goltzman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad","family":"Talakat","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faraj Abu","family":"Saaluk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"147","container-title":["Journal of Health Care for the Poor and Underserved"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T09:45:09Z","timestamp":1786614309000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/muse.jhu.edu\/article\/998557"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2026,8]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2026,8]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1353\/hpu.2026.a998557","relation":{},"ISSN":["1548-6869"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1548-6869","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2026,8]]}}}
