However, widespread awareness and understanding of GFD remains limited, particularly in countries like the Republic of Moldova, where celiac disease prevalence is under-researched. The primary objective of this study is to assess the knowledge, perceptions, and challenges associated with the adoption of a gluten-free diet (GFD) among the Moldovan population. A stratified sampling method was employed to collect 778 responses via an online questionnaire distributed across social media and educational platforms. The questionnaire assessed respondents’ knowledge of gluten and GFD, perceptions of wheat and gluten, and purchasing behavior regarding GF products. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and ANOVA to explore differences across education levels and professional domains. Of the respondents, 77.3% could correctly define gluten, yet only 16.1% achieved a knowledge score above 50% regarding gluten-containing products and hidden gluten sources. Education level significantly influenced GFD knowledge (p &lt; 0.05), with respondents holding postgraduate degrees demonstrating higher knowledge scores. Perceptions of gluten and wheat were predominantly neutral among GFD followers and non-followers. However, 21.1% of GFD followers perceived maintaining the diet as highly difficult, primarily due to limited availability and high costs of GF products.The study revealed a significant gap in knowledge of gluten and GFD in the Moldovan population, despite general awareness. Education level and profession were critical determinants of understanding. There is a clear need for targeted educational programs and improved access to GF products to enhance GFD adherence and management of GRD in Moldova. Public health interventions must prioritize raising awareness and addressing the economic barriers associated with GFD.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Заболевания, вызываемые глютеном (ЗВГ), включая целиакию, лечатся с помощью строгой безглютеновой диеты (БГД), единственного установленного метода лечения. Однако общая осведомленность и понимание сути БГД до сих пор не получили широкого распространения, особенно в таких странах, как Республика Молдова, где большинство случаев заболеваний целиакией изучено в недостаточной степени. Основная цель этого исследования — оценить информированность, восприятие и трудности, связанные с переходом на безглютеновую диету (БГД) среди населения Молдовы. Был применен метод стратифицированной выборки, в результате которого через онлайн-анкету, опубликованную в социальных сетях и на образовательных онлайн платформах, были получены 778 ответов. Анкета оценивала информированность респондентов о глютене и БГД, оценивала их восприятие пшеницы и глютена, изучала покупательское поведение в отношении безглютеновых (БГ) продуктов. Данные анализировались с использованием описательной статистики и дисперсионного анализа вариантов ANOVA для выделения различий в ответах в зависимости от уровня образования и областей профессиональной занятости. Из общего числа респондентов 77,3% смогли правильно определить глютен, но только 16,1% достигли уровня осведомленности выше 50% в отношении продуктов, содержащих глютен и скрытых источников глютена. Уровень образования значительно повлиял на знания о БГД (p &lt; 0,05), при этом респонденты, имеющие ученые степени, продемонстрировали более высокие баллы знаний. Восприятие глютена и пшеницы было преимущественно нейтральным как среди лиц, соблюдающих БГД, так и лиц, не придерживающихся таковой. Однако 21,1% приверженцев БГД считали поддержание диеты крайне сложным, в первую очередь из-за ограниченной доступности и высокой стоимости БГ продуктов. Исследование выявило значительный пробел в знаниях о глютене и БГД среди населения Молдовы, несмотря на общую осведомленность о нем. Уровень образования и профессия были критическими детерминантами понимания сути. Имеется очевидная потребность в целевых образовательных программах и улучшенном доступе к БГ продуктам для повышения уровня распространенности соблюдения БГД и планированию и возможности придерживаться БГД в Молдове. Меры вмешательства в области общественного здравоохранения должны быть направлены на повышение уровня информированности и на устранение экономических барьеров, связанных с БГД.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>безглютеновая диета (БГД)</kwd><kwd>информированность и восприятие</kwd><kwd>проблемы питания</kwd><kwd>осведомленность о питании</kwd><kwd>перекрестно-статистическое исследование</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>gluten-related disorders</kwd><kwd>dietary adherence</kwd><kwd>nutritional awareness</kwd><kwd>food accessibility</kwd><kwd>public health strategies</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Данная работа подготовлена при поддержке Национальным агентством по исследованиям и разработкам (NARD) [гранты № 23.70105.5107.05] в рамках проекта «Исследовательский анализ продовольственной безопасности в Республике Молдова на основе показателей стабильного качества и питательности пищевых продуктов (SNuQ)», проводимого в Техническом университете Молдовы www.utm.md.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was supported by National Agency for Research and Development (NARD), [grant numbers 23.70105.5107.05], “Exploratory analysis of food security in the Republic of Moldova based on metrics of sustainable and nutritional quality (SNuQ) of food products” which runs at the Technical University of Moldova www.utm.md.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">FAO, IFAD, UNICEF, WFP and WHO.
