Distribution of some variables in NCWS patients with normal bone density, with osteopenia and with osteoporosis

	BMI <20	Hb <12	DQ2/DQ8	Marsh 1	Duodenal eosinophils	MFS
Normal n = 40	19 (47%)	2 (5%)	22 (55%)	24 (60%)	15 (37%)	10 (25%)
Osteopenia n = 29	17 (59%)	7 (24%)	4 (14%)	12 (41%)	9 (31%)	16 (55%)
Osteoporosis n = 6	6 (100%)	3 (50%)	5 (83%)	3 (50%)	0 (0%)	4 (67%)

MI: χ2t = 5.7, P <0.02; Hb: χ2t = 10.1, P <0.001; multiple food sensitivity: χ2t = 7.8, P < 0.005; HLA DQ2/DQ8: χ2t = 1.2, P = ns; Marsh 1: χ2t = 1.4, P = ns; Duodenal eosinophils: χ2t = 2.5, P = ns. Duodenal lymphocytosis (Marsh 1) was defined as a number of CD3+ >25 IEL/100 epithelial cells. Duodenal eosinophils infiltration was defined as a number of eosinophils >60 per 10 high-power fields. BMI, body mass index; Hb, hemoglobin; IEL, intraepithelial lymphocytes; NCWS, non-celiac wheat sensitivity, MFS, multiple food sensitivity.
