OBJECTIVES: Studies on early life infections and risk of later celiac disease (CD) are inconsistent but have mostly been limited to retrospective designs, inpatient data, or insufficient statistical power. We aimed to test whether early life infections are associated with increased risk of later CD using prospective population-based data.METHODS: This study, based on the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study, includes prospective, repeated assessments of parent-reported infectious disease data up to 18 months of age for 72,921 children born between 2000 and 2009. CD was identified through parental questionnaires and the Norwegian Patient Registry. Logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios adjusted for child's age and sex (aOR).RESULTS: During a median follow-up period of 8.5 years (range, 4.5-14.5), 581 children (0.8%) were diagnosed with CD. Children with >= 10 infections (>= fourth quartile) up to age 18 months had a significantly higher risk of later CD, as compared with children with
