Weight and waist circumference were collected. Information about demographics, food security, weight status, and consumer behaviors were obtained by home interview.Two-thirds of the sample was found to be overweight or obese. Their weight status has remained stable within the past ten years. The majority of the sample was non-Hispanic white. Fifteen percent of the sample was found to be food insecure. Meal planning and preparation was shared with a spouse in about 50% of the sample.Individuals that are serologically positive for CD tend to be overweight or obese. They tend to eat out a few times a week and seem to prefer convenient foods for mealtime. Barriers such as food access, food affordability, access to medical testing, and issues of cross contamination can be a problem for this population.","abstract_html":"We sought to describe the weight status, weight change, food security, and consumer behaviors of individuals serologically positive for CD.There is a need for more research to describe the profile of participants with CD, identify their weight status and food procurement and preparation habits.
