Sauer P, Luft VC, Dall'Alba V. Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease who regularly consume fruits and vegetables present lower prevalence of disease activation: A cross-sectional study. Clin Nutr ESPEN 2024; 61:420-426. [PMID: 38777464 DOI: 10.1016/j.clnesp.2024.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/10/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2024] [Accepted: 04/15/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Exclusion diets are common practices among individuals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). Reports that certain foods trigger or worsen symptoms are recurrent but lack evidence. The aim of the study was to identify which foods were most frequently avoided by patients with Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and whether the consumption of any food group was associated with disease activity. METHODS Cross-sectional study with adult patients seen at an outpatient clinic in a tertiary public hospital. Dietary intake and eating habits were accessed through questionnaires administered via telephone interview. Disease activity and symptoms were assessed using the Harvey-Bradshaw Index (IHB) for CD and the Lichtiger Index (LI) for UC. Poisson regression with a robust variance estimator was used to estimate prevalence ratios. Analyzes were performed using SPSS - Statistical Package for the Social Sciences. RESULTS The study included 145 patients. Of these, 69.7% avoided certain foods, with citrus fruits and raw vegetables among the most avoided (16.8% and 13.8%, respectively). Regular consumption of fruits (PR = 0.56; CI 95% 0.32-0.97; p = 0.042) and vegetables (PR = 0.56; CI 95% 0.32-0.98; p = 0.045) was associated with a 44% lower prevalence of the active phase of the disease, compared to those who do not consume these foods, adjusted for age, sex and type of disease. Other food items did not present significant associations in the adjusted model. CONCLUSIONS Fruit and vegetable intake appears to have a protective role in the recurrence of IBD. Excluding foods is a common practice, even among patients in remission, and this should be combated as it can lead to nutritional losses. It is important to reinforce with patients the benefits of a varied and less restrictive diet.

Enteral nutrition compared with corticosteroids in children with Crohn's disease: A long-term nationwide study from the epi-IIRN. Aliment Pharmacol Ther 2024. [PMID: 38742605 DOI: 10.1111/apt.18028] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/21/2024] [Revised: 02/16/2024] [Accepted: 04/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both corticosteroids and exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) have been used as induction therapy in children with Crohn's disease (CD). AIM To compare in a nationwide study the long-term outcomes of children with CD receiving either EEN or corticosteroids as induction therapy. METHODS We retrieved data of all children diagnosed with CD (2005-2020) from the epi-IIRN cohort covering 98% of the Israeli population. The primary outcome was time to complicated disease course (i.e., surgery, steroid-dependency, or at least 2 biologic class). Patients were matched individually utilising propensity score adjustments. RESULTS We included 410 children treated with EEN and 375 with corticosteroids without other treatments (median follow-up, 4.73 [IQR: 2.2-7.2] years [1433 patient-years]). For 274 matched children, the probability of a complicated course was higher with corticosteroids than EEN at 0.5, 3 and 5 years (14% vs. 4%, 42% vs. 27% and 54% vs. 41%, respectively, p = 0.0066), despite similar use of biologics. Steroid-dependency (10% vs. 2%, 15% vs. 3%, and 20% vs. 5%, respectively, p = 0.00018), and hospitalisations (20% vs. 11%, 37% vs. 26%, and 55% vs. 38%, respectively, p = 0.002) were higher with corticosteroids. During follow-up, children receiving corticosteroids as induction treatment were more often further exposed to corticosteroids, and those on EEN were more often further exposed to nutritional treatment (p < 0.001). Induction with EEN had no advantage over corticosteroids regarding survival probability of surgeries, biologic use and growth. CONCLUSIONS EEN in paediatric CD is associated with lower long-term risks of corticosteroid dependency and hospitalisation than corticosteroids. These results may lend support to favouring nutritional therapy in paediatric CD.

[PMID: 38451661 DOI: 10.1590/s0004-2803.246102023-95] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2023] [Accepted: 10/13/2023] [Indexed: 03/08/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition/sarcopenia is frequent in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), and results in muscle catabolism, impacting treatment response, postoperative complications, and quality of life. OBJECTIVE This study aims to assess whether the phase angle (PhA) is a parameter for predicting reduced muscle mass in patients with IBD. METHODS Adult patients with IBD were included in this cross-sectional study. For the estimation of muscle mass and the calculation of the PhA, we used bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) activity scores were defined using the Harvey-Bradshaw index and partial Mayo score, respectively. The area under the ROC curve was calculated to identify the PhA cut-off point for reduced muscle mass. RESULTS The sample consisted of 145 patients, with 39 (26.9%) with IBD in the active phase. There was a correlation of the PhA with skeletal muscle mass (SMM) (rs 0.35, P<0.001) and with the skeletal muscle mass index (SMI) (rs 0.427, P<0.001), and the associations remained in the most active form (moderate or severe) of IBD. The ROC curve analysis indicated that the cut-offs points of the PhA ≤5.042 for female and PhA ≤6.079 for male can be used to predict muscle mass reduction. CONCLUSION The PhA can be considered a predictor of muscle mass reduction in IBD patients, and we can use it for screening and monitoring the evolution of malnutrition. BACKGROUND • This study aims to assess whether the phase angle is a parameter for predicting reduced muscle mass in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. BACKGROUND • There was a correlation of the phase angle with skeletal muscle mass and the associations remained in disease activity. BACKGROUND • The ROC curve analysis indicated that the cut-off point of the PhA ≤5.042° for women and PhA ≤6,079° for men can be used to predict muscle mass reduction. BACKGROUND • The phase angle can be considered a predictor of muscle mass reduction in inflammatory bowel disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are associated with important changes in nutritional status. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to compare body fat composition between two anthropometric methods: skinfolds and ultrasonography, in patients with IBD. METHODS Single-center cross-sectional study with IBD patients in remission or active disease. For the agreement analysis between the body fat assessment methods, the Bland Altman method was used. RESULTS A total of 101 patients with IBD were included, 75 with Crohn's disease and 26 with ulcerative colitis. Approximately 56% of the patients with Crohn's disease and 65.4% of those with ulcerative colitis had a body fat composition above normal levels, with no significant difference between the diseases (P=0.63). The Bland-Altman concordance analysis showed that the methods for assessing the percentage of fat by the adipometer and ultrasound were not in full agreement (P=0.001), despite both presented good correlation (CC 0.961; P=0.000). CONCLUSION The analysis of body fat percentage in patients with IBD was different between the skinfolds and ultrasound. Both methods can be used to assess the of body fat percentage of patients with IBD. However, monitoring of body fat sequentially and longitudinally should always be performed using the same method throughout the disease course. Prospective longitudinal studies are warranted to precisely define the role of these two methods of measuring body composition in patients with IBD. BACKGROUND • Inflammatory bowel diseases are associated with changes in nutritional status. BACKGROUND • Skinfolds measurements and ultrasound are valid methods for assessing body composition and body fat. BACKGROUND • These methods despite comparable are not identical and are useful in clinical nutritional practices in IBD.

Abstract
Introduction Objective: to evaluate leptin levels and its relation to nutritional status in Crohn's disease (CD). Methods: the study included 154 CD patients and healthy controls. Leptin level was determined before treatment. Nutrition levels were assessed using the Nutrition Risk Screening 2002 (NRS-2002) and Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). Indicators included body mass index (BMI), mid-arm circumference, the circumference of the upper-arm muscle, triceps skinfold thickness, and circumference of legs. Results: leptin levels differed between CD patients (1,025 ± 874 ng/ml) and controls (18,481,222 ng/ml). Significant differences were seen in NRS-2002, PG-SGA scores, BMI and other nutritional indicators. Negative correlations were observed between leptin and NRS-2002, PG-SGA scores, while positive correlations were observed with other nutritional indicators. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve showed association between leptin and the diagnosis of CD, suggesting leptin concentration below 803.02 ng/ml as a threshold for CD. Conclusion: dysfunctional leptin regulation may relate to poor nutritional status associated with CD. The leptin level is thus an additional tool for evaluating CD patients, predicting disease activity and clinical response. Leptin may be a potential target for intervention in CD to improve nutritional status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Low skeletal muscle index (SMI) is common in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) but has an uncertain relationship with active intestinal inflammation. This study evaluated body composition by whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) in patients with IBD and healthy controls to enable the value of formal body composition analysis to be judged. METHODS Patients with IBD and sex/age-matched controls prospectively underwent full body composition assessment by DXA, assessment by BMI, eating questionnaires and handgrip strength. Disease activity was assessed by faecal calprotectin (active ≥150 µg/g). A cohort undergoing biologic induction therapy were assessed at baseline and after ≥13 weeks. RESULTS Total fat mass was higher in 54 patients with IBD (56% Crohn's disease, 61% male) than in 30 controls (median 25.1 vs. 18.7 kg, P = 0.042). DXA offered little more than BMI. Low SMI was more common than in controls (15% vs. 0%, P = 0.027). A normal BMI was seen in many patients with low SMI and handgrip strength was a poor marker of change in SMI. Body composition was similar in 28 patients with active vs. 22 with inactive disease. However, SMI increased specifically by 9.7% ( P = 0.004) and BMI by 6.4% ( P = 0.012) in 9 responders to therapy. CONCLUSION DXA identifies many patients with reduced SMI who are not detected by standard methodologies. While disease activity is not associated with low SMI, resolution of inflammation leads to improved SMI. The potential for recognition of such patients to influence therapeutic decisions underlines the need for DXA assessment in clinical practice.

Clinical Implications of Dietary Probiotic Supplement (Associated with L-Glutamine and Biotin) in Ulcerative Colitis Patients' Body Composition and Quality of Life. Nutrients 2023; 15:5049. [PMID: 38140308 PMCID: PMC10745841 DOI: 10.3390/nu15245049] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 12/06/2023] [Accepted: 12/07/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023] Open
Abstract
Patients with ulcerative colitis (UC) are reported to have changes in body structure, with negative impact on the course of disease. This study explored the effects of a standardized nutritional supplement containing five bacterial strains of at least five billion bacteria (Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium animalis, Lactobacillus bulgaricus, Lactobacillus helveticus, and Enterococcus faecium), L-glutamine, and biotin on the body composition and quality of life of patients with UC. Ninety-three patients over 18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of UC, for whom body composition could be accurately determined, were included in this observational follow-up randomized study. These patients were split into two groups: UC-P (44 patients with dietary counselling and supplement with probiotics) and UC-NP (49 patients with dietary counselling, without supplement). Body composition was assessed using the multifrequency bioelectrical impedance device, and the quality of life related to UC was evaluated by applying the short inflammatory bowel disease questionnaire (SIBDQ). The results showed that the average value of muscular mass (MM) and sarcopenic index (SMI) significantly increased (p = 0.043, respectively, p = 0.001) and a large fraction (p = 0.001) of patients had their SMI levels normalized in the UC-P group compared with UC-NP group. The extracellular water to total body water ratio (ECW/TBW) also had significantly different mean values (p = 0.022), favoring the UC-P group. By testing the differences between the average values of body composition parameters before and after treatment, we obtained significant results in body mass index (BMI) (p = 0.046), fat free mass (FFM) (p < 0.001), and ECW/TBW ratio (p = 0.048). The SIBDQ total score increased significantly (p < 0.001) in the UC-P group and was more strongly associated with changes in body parameters. Supplementation with probiotics associated with L-glutamine and biotin can improve body composition parameters, which in turn implies an increase in the overall quality of life of patients with UC.

Abstract
Sarcopenia is a syndrome characterized by a progressive and extensive decrease in skeletal muscle quality and function. With the development of imaging technology in recent years, the understanding and research on the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and evaluation of sarcopenia have gradually improved. More than one-third of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have sarcopenia (Ryan et al., 2019), and as a new and unique body composition evaluation index, it is critical for predicting the clinical course, prognosis and postoperative complications of patients with IBD. However, there are limited research summarizing the prevalence of sarcopenia among IBD. Furthermore, there is a scarcity of studies establishing the precise criteria for diagnosing sarcopenia in these patients. This article summarizes the evaluation of sarcopenia and its recent advancements in predicting the course and prognosis of IBD.

Abstract
Background There is increasing evidence pointing to a close relationship between sarcopenia and inflammatory bowel disease. However, it remains unclear whether or in which direction causal relationships exist, because these associations could be confounded. Methods We conducted a two-sample bidirectional mendelian randomization analysis using data from European genome-wide association studies of the appendicular lean mass(n = 450,243), walking pace(n = 459,915), grip strength (left hand, n = 461,026; right hand, n = 461,089), inflammatory bowel disease (25,042 patients and 34,915 controls), ulcerative colitis (12,366 patients and 33,609 controls), and Crohn's disease (12,194 patients and 28,072 controls) to investigate the causal relationship between sarcopenia-related traits and inflammatory bowel disease and its subtypes on each other. The inverse-variance weighted method was used as the primary analysis method to assess the causality, and a comprehensive sensitivity test was conducted. Results Genetically predicted appendicular lean mass was significantly associated with inflammatory bowel disease (OR = 0.916, 95%CI: 0.853-0.984, P = 0.017), ulcerative colitis (OR =0.888, 95%CI: 0.813-0.971, P = 0.009), and Crohn's disease (OR = 0.905, 95%CI: 0.820-0.999, P = 0.049). Similar results also revealed that the usual walking pace was causally associated with Crohn's disease (OR = 0.467, 95%CI: 0.239-0.914, P = 0.026). Reverse mendelian randomization analysis results found that genetic susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease, and Crohn's disease were associated with lower appendicular lean mass. A series of sensitivity analyses ensured the reliability of the present research results. Conclusion The mendelian randomization study supports a bidirectional causality between inflammatory bowel disease, Crohn's disease and appendicular lean mass, but no such bidirectional causal relationship was found in ulcerative colitis. In addition, genetically predicted usual walking pace may reduce the risk of Crohn's disease. These findings have clinical implications for sarcopenia and inflammatory bowel disease management.

Microbiota signatures and mucosal healing in the use of enteral nutrition therapy v. corticosteroids for the treatment of children with Crohn's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Br J Nutr 2023; 130:1385-1402. [PMID: 36788671 PMCID: PMC10511686 DOI: 10.1017/s0007114523000405] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2022] [Revised: 01/28/2023] [Accepted: 02/06/2023] [Indexed: 02/16/2023]
Abstract
Corticosteroids (CS) and exclusive and partial enteral nutrition (EEN and PEN) are effective therapies in paediatric Crohn's disease (CD). This systematic review of randomised controlled trials (RCT) and cohort studies analyses the impact of EEN/PEN v. CS on intestinal microbiota, mucosal healing as well as other clinically important outcomes, including clinical remission, relapse, adherence, adverse events and health-related quality of life (HRQL) in paediatric CD. Three RCT (n 76) and sixteen cohort studies (n 1104) compared EEN v. CS. With limited available data (one RCT), the effect on intestinal microbiome indicated a trend towards EEN regarding Shannon diversity. Based on two RCT, EEN achieved higher mucosal healing than CS (risk ratio (RR) 2·36, 95 % CI (1·22, 4·57), low certainty). Compared with CS, patients on EEN were less likely to experience adverse events based on two RCT (RR 0·32, 95 % CI (0·13, 0·80), low certainty). For HRQL, there was a trend in favour of CS based on data from two published abstracts of cohort studies. Based on thirteen cohort studies, EEN achieved higher clinical remission than CS (RR 1·18, 95 % CI (1·02, 1·38), very low certainty). Studies also reported no important differences in relapse and adherence. Compared with CS, EEN may improve mucosal healing with fewer adverse events based on RCT data. While limited data indicate the need for further trials, this is the first systematic review to comprehensively summarise the data on intestinal microbiome, mucosal healing and HRQOL when comparing enteral nutrition and CS in paediatric CD.

Obesity, Sarcopenia and Myosteatosis: Impact on Clinical Outcomes in the Operative Management of Crohn's Disease. Inflamm Bowel Dis 2023:izad225. [PMID: 37861366 DOI: 10.1093/ibd/izad225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Obesity, sarcopenia, and myosteatosis in inflammatory bowel disease may confer negative outcomes, but their prevalence and impact among patients with Crohn's disease (CD) have not been systematically studied. The aim of this study was to assess nutritional status and body composition among patients undergoing resectional surgery for CD and determine impact on operative outcomes. METHODS Consecutive patients with CD undergoing resection from 2000 to 2018 were studied. Total, subcutaneous, and visceral fat areas and lean tissue area (LTA) and intramuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) were determined preoperatively by computed tomography at L3 using SliceOmatic (Tomovision, Canada). Univariable and multivariable linear, logistic, and Cox proportional hazards regression were performed. RESULTS One hundred twenty-four consecutive patients were studied (ileocolonic disease 53%, n = 62, biologic therapy 34.4% n = 43). Mean fat mass was 22.7 kg, with visceral obesity evident in 23.9% (n = 27). Increased fat stores were associated with reduced risk of emergency presentation but increased corticosteroid use (β 9.09, standard error 3.49; P = .011). Mean LBM was 9.9 kg. Sarcopenia and myosteatosis were associated with impaired baseline nutritional markers. Myosteatosis markers IMAT (P = .002) and muscle attenuation (P = .0003) were associated with increased grade of complication. On multivariable analysis, IMAT was independently associated with increased postoperative morbidity (odds ratio [OR], 1.08; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-1.16; P = .037) and comprehensive complications index (P = .029). Measures of adiposity were not associated with overall morbidity; however, increased visceral fat area independently predicted venous thromboembolism (OR, 1.02; 95% CI, 1.00-1.05; P = .028), and TFA was associated with increased wound infection (OR, 1.00; 95% CI, 1.00-1.01; P = .042) on multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION Myosteatosis is associated with nutritional impairment and predicts increased overall postoperative morbidity following resection for CD. Despite its association with specific increased postoperative risks, increased adiposity does not increase overall morbidity, reflecting preservation of nutritional status and relatively more quiescent disease phenotype. Impaired muscle mass and function represent an appealing target for patient optimization to improve outcomes in the surgical management of CD.

Scoping review on health-related physical fitness in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: Assessment, interventions, and future directions. World J Gastroenterol 2023; 29:5406-5427. [PMID: 37900583 PMCID: PMC10600796 DOI: 10.3748/wjg.v29.i38.5406] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2023] [Revised: 09/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 10/12/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Reaching the Selecting Therapeutic Targets in Inflammatory Bowel Disease-II (STRIDE-II) therapeutic targets for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) requires an interdisciplinary approach. Lifestyle interventions focusing on enhancing and preserving health-related physical fitness (HRPF) may aid in improving subjective health, decreasing disability, or even controlling inflammation. However, ambiguity remains about the status and impact of HRPF (i.e. body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, muscular strength, muscular endurance, and flexibility) in IBD patients, hindering the development of physical activity and physical exercise training guidelines. AIM To review HRPF components in IBD patients and the impact of physical activity and physical exercise training interventions on HRPF. METHODS A systematic search in multiple databases was conducted for original studies that included patients with IBD, assessed one or more HRPF components, and/or evaluated physical activity or physical exercise training interventions. RESULTS Sixty-eight articles were included. No study examined the complete concept of HRPF, and considerable heterogeneity existed in assessment methods, with frequent use of non-validated tests. According to studies that used gold standard tests, cardiorespiratory fitness seemed to be reduced, but findings on muscular strength and endurance were inconsistent. A limited number of studies that evaluated physical activity or physical exercise training interventions reported effects on HRPF, overall showing a positive impact. CONCLUSION We performed a scoping review using a systematic and iterative approach to identify and synthesize an emerging body of literature on health-related physical fitness in patients with IBD, highlighting several research gaps and opportunities for future research. Findings of this review revealed a gap in the literature regarding the accurate assessment of HRPF in patients with IBD and highlighted important methodological limitations of studies that evaluated physical activity or physical exercise training interventions. This scoping review is a step towards performing studies and systematic reviews in the future, which was not possible at present given the heterogeneity in endpoints and designs of the available studies on this topic. Future well-designed studies are required to determine the optimal training paradigm for improving HRPF in patients with IBD before guidelines can be developed and integrated into the therapeutic strategy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Low skeletal muscle mass (MM) and deteriorated function (sarcopenia) can be a frequent complication in paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). AIM To conduct a systematic review of the paediatric IBD literature on skeletal muscle function and mass and identify interventions that could affect them. METHODS Systematic searches (EMBASE, Medline, Cochrane library central for registered control trials and Web of Science) were conducted using the terms 'lean body mass' (LM), 'fat free mass' (FFM) or 'MM' and 'IBD'. RESULTS Fourteenth studies were included, presenting data from 439 Crohn's disease (CD), 139 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 2 IBD-unclassified participants compared with healthy matched or unmatched groups or reference populations. Six out of 14 studies reported lower LM, whilst 7 studies observed lower MM and FFM in CD patients compared to healthy controls. Research in UC patients reported lower LM in 3 studies, lower MM in 3 studies and lower FFM in 4 studies. Three prospective studies measured the impact of enteral feeding and showed improvement on disease activity and LM or FFM, while one retrospective study did not show any impact on LM. CONCLUSION Despite the variety of experimental approaches and methods used to assess sarcopenia, most studies showed reduction in MM, LM and FFM in IBD. Nutritional intervention may have a positive effect on LM and FFM. Future research should focus on standardizing the terminology and methodologies used in assessing body composition and investigating sarcopenia in diseased and matched healthy control cohorts in adequately powered studies with a longitudinal design.

Abstract
The presence of sarcopenia has been associated with the worst outcome of Crohn's disease (CD). At present, no studies have evaluated the impact of ustekinumab (UST) in terms of its effects on body composition. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate whether UST treatment could modify the parameters of body composition as assessed by bioelectrical impedance assay (BIA) in patients with CD. We prospectively enrolled consecutive patients with CD treated with UST, evaluating the therapeutic outcome at week 48 in terms of clinical remission and mucosal healing. BIA was performed at baseline and at week 48, assessing body cellular mass, total body water, phase angle, and body mass index. Out of 44 patients enrolled, 26 (59%) were in clinical remission and 22 (50%) achieved mucosal healing at the end of follow up. No significant differences were observed at baseline in all the BIA parameters between responders and non-responders. Phase angle increased over time in responders, while this was not observed in non-responders (test for the interaction between time and outcome, p-value = 0.009 and 0.007 for clinical remission and mucosal healing, respectively). The same differential increase was observed for body cellular mass (test for the interaction between time and outcome, p-value = 0.03 and 0.05 for clinical remission and mucosal healing, respectively). Total body water and BMI increased homogenously over time regardless of the outcomes (tests for the association with time, p-values of 0.01). To conclude, responsiveness to UST therapy seems to be associated with body composition modifications in patients with CD. In particular, the increase in phase angle in responders suggests that a significant improvement of nutritional status occurred in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients might experience disease-related malnutrition (DRM), but prevalence and risk factors are not well defined. The primary aim of the study was to define the prevalence of DRM and micronutrient deficiency in IBD patients; the secondary aim was to assess variables related to DRM. MATERIALS AND METHODS A multicenter, cross-sectional study was performed including consecutive adult IBD patients during a period of 2 weeks. Nutritional status was assessed with the body mass index (BMI) and the Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool. DRM was defined according to European Society for Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism guidelines. RESULTS Among the 295 enrolled patients, the prevalence of DRM was 23%, with no statistical difference between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Compared with well-nourished patients, patients with DRM showed higher rate of hospitalization in the previous month, were more often receiving systemic steroids, and had lower hemoglobin, albumin, and prealbumin levels and higher median C-reactive protein levels. At univariate logistic regression, current hospitalization, hospitalization in the previous month, low serum albumin, low BMI, high C-reactive protein, high Crohn's Disease Activity Index, and female sex were variables related to DRM. At the multivariate logistic regression, low BMI, current hospitalization and hospitalization in the previous month were significantly associated with DRM. In 23% of IBD patients, a deficiency of at least 1 micronutrient was observed, with no difference between ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease. CONCLUSIONS DRM and microelements malnutrition are frequent conditions in the IBD population. DRM seems to be associated with disease activity and hospitalization.

[PMID: 37305984 PMCID: PMC10947251 DOI: 10.1111/apt.17607] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Revised: 04/11/2023] [Accepted: 05/27/2023] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Disturbance of skeletal muscle mass has clinically important implications in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), but accurate quantification requires radiation-intense techniques. AIMS We aimed to compare point-of-care muscle assessments and their change with therapy with those using reference-standard whole-body dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). METHODS Adult patients with IBD and healthy controls underwent prospective assessment of muscularity by ultrasound of the dominant arm and both thighs, bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), anthropometric measurements, and DXA. Patients with active IBD were assessed again ≥13 weeks after initiating biologic induction therapy. RESULTS In 54 patients with IBD and 30 controls, all muscle assessments correlated significantly with DXA-derived skeletal muscle index (SMI). In IBD, ultrasound of the arm and legs had the best agreement with DXA-derived SMI (mean difference 0 kg/m2 , 95% limits of agreement -1.3 to 1.3), while BIA overestimated DXA-derived SMI by 1.07 (-0.16 to +2.30) kg/m2 . In 17 patients who underwent biologic therapy, the percentage change in DXA-derived SMI correlated significantly with the percentage change in all other muscle assessment techniques. Responders (n = 9) increased SMI from baseline to follow-up when derived from DXA (mean 7.8-8.5 kg/m2 , p = 0.004), ultrasound of the arm and legs (300-343 cm2 , p = 0.021) and BIA (9.2-9.6 kg/m2 , p = 0.011). CONCLUSIONS Ultrasound of the arm and legs out-performed other point-of-care methods in its accuracy of measuring muscle mass. All methods, except mid-arm circumference, were responsive to therapy-induced change. Ultrasound is the preferred non-invasive test for measuring muscle mass in patients with IBD.

Inflammation and malnutrition in inflammatory bowel disease. Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol 2023; 8:579-590.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, has become increasingly prevalent worldwide in the past decade. The nutritional status of patients with IBD is often impaired, with malnutrition presenting as imbalanced energy or nutrient intake, including protein-energy malnutrition, disease-related malnutrition, sarcopenia, and micronutrient deficiency. Additionally, malnutrition can manifest as overweight, obesity, and sarcopenic obesity. Malnutrition can lead to disturbances in gut microbiome composition that might alter homoeostasis and cause a dysbiotic state, potentially triggering inflammatory responses. Despite the clear link between IBD and malnutrition, little is known about the pathophysiological mechanisms beyond protein-energy malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies that could promote inflammation through malnutrition, and vice versa. This Review focuses on potential mechanisms that trigger a vicious cycle between malnutrition and inflammation, and their clinical and therapeutic implications.

J Cachexia Sarcopenia Muscle 2023; 14:1096-1106. [PMID: 36872597 PMCID: PMC10067489 DOI: 10.1002/jcsm.13208] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/12/2022] [Revised: 01/26/2023] [Accepted: 02/08/2023] [Indexed: 03/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The improvement of colitis symptoms by treatment with IL-12/23 p40 neutralizing antibody should increase the muscle mass and the function of the sarcopenia phenotype. METHODS An experimental colitis model was induced by oral administration of 2% dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) for 7 days. During induction of colitis, IL-12/23 p40 neutralizing antibody was injected twice on Days 3 and 5. The total body mass index was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. The muscle function was measured by forelimb grip strength and fatigue running distance. The muscle fibre cross-sectional area (CSA) was calculated after the transverse section and haematoxylin and eosin staining, and gene expression was confirmed by RT-qPCR. Differentiated C2C12 cells were used as in vitro models and treated with recombinant IL12/23 proteins to mimic the enhanced cytokines in colitis. RESULTS The symptoms of colitis were alleviated by injection of IL-12/23 p40 neutralizing antibody compared with phosphate-buffered saline (PBS), and the disease activity index score was significantly lower on Day 8 (0.0 ± 0.00 of cont. vs. 11.3 ± 0.9 of DSS + PBS, P < 0.0001; DSS + PBS vs. 7.7 ± 1.25 of DSS + p40Ab, P < 0.0001). The CSA of the gastrocnemius and tibialis anterior muscle fibres decreased in mice with DSS-induced colitis (gastrocnemius, 1258.2 μm2 ± 176.45 of cont. vs. 640.1 μm2 ± 59.83 of DSS + PBS, P < 0.0001; tibialis anterior, 1251.8 μm2 ± 331.48 of cont. vs. 678.9 μm2 ± 67.59 of DSS + PBS, P < 0.0001), and the treatment of IL-12/23 p40 neutralizing antibody partially restored CSA of the gastrocnemius (640.1 μm2 ± 59.83 of DSS + PBS vs. 1062.0 μm2 ± 83.41 of DSS + p40Ab, P < 0.0001) and tibialis anterior (678.9 μm2 ± 67.59 of DSS + PBS vs. 1105.3 μm2 ± 143.15 of DSS + p40Ab, P = 0.0003).vs. 640.1 μm2 ± 59.83 of DSS + PBS, P < 0.0001) and tibialis anterior (1251.8 μm2 ± 331.48 of cont. vs. 678.9 μm2 ± 67.59 of DSS + PBS, P < 0.0001), and the treatment of IL-12/23 p40 neutralizing antibody partially restored CSA of the gastrocnemius (640.1 μm2 ± 59.83 of DSS + PBS vs. 1062.0 μm2 ± 83.41 of DSS + p40Ab, P < 0.0001) and tibialis anterior (678.9 μm2 ± 67.59 of DSS + PBS vs. 1105.3 μm2 ± 143.15 of DSS + p40Ab, P = 0.0003). In the evaluation of muscle function, grip strength and fatigue distance decreased by colitis were partially restored (grip strength: 139.9 g ± 5.38 of cont. vs. 83.9 g ± 5.48 of DSS + PBS, P < 0.0001; DSS + PBS vs. 118.6 g ± 4.05 of DSS + p40Ab, P < 0.0001; fatigue distance: 872.5 m ± 104.01 of cont. vs. 58.2 m ± 107.72 of DSS + PBS, P < 0.0001; DSS + PBS vs. 328.0 m ± 109.71 of DSS + p40Ab, P = 0.0015) by injection of IL-12/23 p40 neutralizing antibody. CONCLUSIONS Our study demonstrates that Il-12/23 acts directly on muscle to induce atrophy, and the IL-12/23 p40 neutralizing antibody is effective not only in suppressing colitis but also in maintaining muscle mass and improving muscle function in an experimental colitis model.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES to investigate the association between the dietary nutrient intake and nutritional status of patients with Crohn's disease (CD). METHODS sixty CD patients who had been diagnosed but had not begun treatment were enrolled. The dietary nutrient intake was recorded after three days of 24-hour recall and was calculated using NCCW2006 software. The nutrition levels were assessed using the Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA). Indicators included body mass index (BMI), mid-arm circumference, the circumference of the upper-arm muscle, triceps skinfold thickness, handgrip strength, and the circumference of the lower legs. RESULTS eighty-five per cent of CD patients did not meet the necessary energy requirements. Of these, the protein and dietary fiber intake in 63.33 % and 100 %, respectively, were below the standard of the Chinese dietary reference. Many patients had insufficient intake of vitamins, as well as other macro- and micronutrients. An inverse association was observed between the risk of malnutrition and higher levels of energy (1,590.0-2,070.6 kcal/d, OR = 0.050, 95 % CI: 0.009-0.279) and protein (55.6-70.5 g/d, OR = 0.150, 95 % CI: 0.029-0.773). Appropriate supplementation of vitamin E, calcium, and other dietary nutrients helped to reduce the risk of malnutrition. CONCLUSIONS significant deficiencies in dietary nutrient intake were found in CD patients, and dietary intake was associated with the nutritional status of the patient. Appropriate adjustment and supplementation of nutrient intake may reduce malnutrition risk in CD patients. The gap between actual consumption and recommendation indicates a need for improved nutritional counseling and monitoring. Early relevant advice for the dietary guidance of CD patients may be beneficial for long-term effects associated with nutritional status.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with body composition changes, which are associated with clinical prognosis, response to therapy, and quality of life in IBD patients. Therefore, it is critical to review the body composition distribution in IBD, summarize the potential factors affecting body composition distribution, and take steps to improve the body composition distribution of IBD patients as early as possible. In the current review, we searched PubMed via keywords 'inflammatory bowel disease', or 'IBD', or 'Crohn's disease', or 'CD', or 'ulcerative colitis', or 'UC', and 'body composition'. Malnutrition and sarcopenia are common in IBD patients and are associated with the clinical course, prognosis, and need for surgery. Disease activity, reduced nutrition intake, vitamin D deficiency, and intestinal dysbiosis are factors contributing to changed body composition. Early use of biological agents to induce remission is critical to improving body composition distribution in IBD patients, supplementation of vitamin D is also important, and moderate physical activity is recommended in IBD patients with clinical remission.

Abstract
Background Anti-TNF therapy has been found to exert an influence on long-term nutritional status and even reverse malnutrition in patients with Crohn's disease. Aims to observe the effect of anti-TNF therapy on nutritional status in patients with Crohn's disease, investigate the correlation between the timing of anti-TNF therapy and the human body composition and examine independent body composition factors for predicting malnutrition in these patients. Methods This was a retrospective study of 115 patients with Crohn's disease. Body composition parameters were assessed by bioelectrical impedance analysis. The nutritional status of the patients was determined by NRS2002 and MNA. Results The BMI, BFMI, FFMI, BCMI, SMI, BMC, intracellular water, protein and BMR were significantly lower in patients without any biologic agents (p < 0.05). Negative correlations were found between BMC, intracellular water, extracellular water, protein and BMR and the interval between the first symptom and first dose by Spearman's correlation analysis (r < 0, p < 0.05). Low BMI (OR 0.602, 95% CI 0.434-0.836, p = 0.002), low FFMI (OR 0.678, 95% CI 0.507-0.906, p = 0.009), and low BCMI (OR 0.564, 95% CI 0.367-0.868, p = 0.009) were independent risk factors for malnutrition in Crohn's disease patients. Anti-TNF therapy tended to reduce the malnutrition probability as assessed by Cox regression analysis (OR: 0.217, 95% CI 0.057-0.821, p = 0.024). Conclusion Body composition analysis is predictive of malnutrition in patients with Crohn's disease. Early application of anti-TNF therapy significantly affected skeletal muscle mass, fat mass and bone mineral content, supporting their long-term nutritional status and reducing their probability of malnutrition.

Abstract
Background and aim The identification of, and timely intervention for, patients with impaired nutritional status may reduce inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) complications. This study aimed to develop and validate an IBD-specific nutrition self-screening tool (IBD-NST) that identifies patients at nutrition risk. Methods An expert IBD panel was consulted to support development of an IBD-NST. The tool was assessed in different cohorts of patients attending IBD outpatient clinics for face, content and convergent validity and repeat reliability. The tool was compared with (i) the malnutrition universal screening tool to assess face validity and (ii) subjective global assessment (SGA), hand-grip strength (HGS) and mid-arm muscle circumference to assess convergent validity. Tool content was informed by agreement between assessment tools, sensitivity analysis and chi-squared tests. The IBD-NST was completed electronically twice, 1 week apart to assess repeat reliability using observed agreement and kappa statistic. Statistical significance assumed at p < 0.05. Results In total, 282 IBD patients (175 with Crohn's disease) were recruited to validate the IBD-NST. The final validated IBD-NST includes body mass index (BMI), weight loss and IBD-specific nutrition-focussed questions which were acceptable to patients. It identified patients at risk of malnutrition, moderately or severely malnourished patients and patients at nutritional risk. The IBD-NST identified 54/179 (30%) patients at moderate or high nutrition risk and had excellent repeat reliability in 85 patients [r = 0.77 (95% CI 0.669 to 0.746)]. Conclusion The IBD-NST is a self-screening tool, validated for use as either a paper or e-health version, that identifies patients at nutrition risk who are likely to benefit from dietetic assessment and intervention. Furthermore, patients with IBD symptoms who are concerned about their dietary intake can potentially access dietetic care more easily therefore encouraging greater self-management of IBD-related symptoms. The routine use of the IBD-NST as a self-screening tool would enable patient-led care in the outpatient setting and may facilitate timely access to dietetic care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia. AIMS To evaluate the nutritional status of patients with IBD and determine the threshold values of different parameters of nutritional assessment to identify malnutrition. METHODS This was a single-centre cross-sectional analysis of adult patients with IBD [ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD)] who underwent anthropometry [body mass index (BMI), mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) and triceps-fold thickness (TSF)], body composition analysis and assessment for sarcopenia [hand-grip strength and skeletal muscle index (SMI) at L3 vertebral level)]. Age- and gender-matched healthy adults served as controls. Malnutrition was defined according to the European Society of Clinical Nutrition and Metabolism (ESPEN) criteria. RESULTS A total of 406 patients [336 (82.76%) UC and 70 (17.24%) CD; mean age 40.56 ± 13.67 years; 215 (52.95%) males] with IBD and 100 healthy controls (mean age 38.69 ± 10.90 years; 56 (56%) males) were enrolled. The mean BMI, MUAC, TSF thickness, fat and lean mass, hand-grip strength, and SMI at L3 vertebral level were lower in patients with IBD compared to controls. The prevalence of malnutrition was similar in UC and CD [24.40% (n = 82) and 28.57% (n = 20), respectively (p = 0.46)]. Thresholds for fat mass in females (15.8 kg) and visceral fat index in males (0.26) were both sensitive and specific to detect malnutrition. The cutoff values of MUAC and TSF thickness to identify malnutrition were 23.25 cm and 25.25 cm, and 16.50 mm and 8.50 mm, in females and males, respectively. CONCLUSION Malnutrition and sarcopenia were common in patients with IBD, with the prevalence being similar in patients with both UC and CD.

Tseng Y, Mo S, Zeng Y, Zheng W, Song H, Zhong B, Luo F, Rong L, Liu J, Luo Z. Machine Learning Model in Predicting Sarcopenia in Crohn's Disease Based on Simple Clinical and Anthropometric Measures. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND PUBLIC HEALTH 2022; 20:ijerph20010656. [PMID: 36612977 PMCID: PMC9819919 DOI: 10.3390/ijerph20010656] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/25/2022] [Revised: 12/22/2022] [Accepted: 12/26/2022] [Indexed: 05/26/2023]
Abstract
Sarcopenia is associated with increased morbidity and mortality in Crohn's disease. The present study is aimed at investigating the different diagnostic performance of different machine learning models in identifying sarcopenia in Crohn's disease. Patients diagnosed with Crohn's disease at our center provided clinical, anthropometric, and radiological data. The cross-sectional CT slice at L3 was used for segmentation and the calculation of body composition. The prevalence of sarcopenia was calculated, and the clinical parameters were compared. A total of 167 patients were included in the present study, of which 127 (76.0%) were male and 40 (24.0%) were female, with an average age of 36.1 ± 14.3 years old. Based on the previously defined cut-off value of sarcopenia, 118 (70.7%) patients had sarcopenia. Seven machine learning models were trained with the randomly allocated training cohort (80%) then evaluated on the validation cohort (20%). A comprehensive comparison showed that LightGBM was the most ideal diagnostic model, with an AUC of 0.933, AUCPR of 0.970, sensitivity of 72.7%, and specificity of 87.0%. The LightGBM model may facilitate a population management strategy with early identification of sarcopenia in Crohn's disease, while providing guidance for nutritional support and an alternative surveillance modality for long-term patient follow-up.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the relationship between malnutrition and anemia in patients with ulcerative colitis (UC). The cross-sectional retrospective study included 80 patients with UC. Body mass index and total body fat mass were derived retrospectively from bioimpedance measurements. Anemia was diagnosed retrospectively according to WHO criteria. A binary logistic regression was performed to study the relationship between nutritional status parameters and anemia, and adjusted for demographic and disease-associated characteristics. The prevalence of anemia in the study population was 40.0%. Among all included patients, 86.3% had acute disease corresponding to S1–S3 disease behavior. In the adjusted binary logistic model, total serum protein level below 64 g/L and low body fat percentage were associated with high odds for the of development of anemia, with odds ratios of 5.1 (95% CI 1.5; 17.8; p = 0.01) and 8.5 (95% CI 1.1; 63.6; p = 0.037), respectively. The adjusted model included sex, age, disease activity, extent of gut involvement, quantity of relapses from disease onset, and treatment with immunosuppressive drugs as confounders. Hypoproteinemia and low body fat percentage were associated with anemia in patients with UC. These results suggested that undernutrition may be involved as one of the causative factors of anemia in UC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Alterations in body composition are common in inflammatory bowel disease [IBD] and have been associated with differences in patient outcomes. We sought to consolidate knowledge on the impact and importance of body composition in IBD. METHODS We performed a systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and conference proceedings by combining two key research themes: inflammatory bowel disease and body composition. RESULTS Fifty-five studies were included in this review. Thirty-one focused on the impact of IBD on body composition with a total of 2279 patients with a mean age 38.4 years. Of these, 1071 [47%] were male. In total, 1470 [64.5%] patients had Crohn's disease and 809 [35.5%] had ulcerative colitis. Notably, fat mass and fat-free mass were reduced, and higher rates of sarcopaenia were observed in those with active IBD compared with those in clinical remission and healthy controls. Twenty-four additional studies focused on the impact of derangements in body composition on IBD outcomes. Alterations in body composition in IBD are associated with poorer prognoses including higher rates of surgical intervention, post-operative complications and reduced muscle strength. In addition, higher rates of early treatment failure and primary non-response are seen in patients with myopaenia. CONCLUSIONS Patients with IBD have alterations in body composition parameters in active disease and clinical remission. The impacts of body composition on disease outcome and therapy are broad and require further investigation. The augmentation of body composition parameters in the clinical setting has the potential to improve IBD outcomes in the future.

Lifestyle, behaviour, and environmental modification for the management of patients with inflammatory bowel diseases: an International Organization for Study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases consensus. Lancet Gastroenterol Hepatol 2022; 7:666-678.

Abstract
Environmental and lifestyle factors play an important role in the natural history of Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. A group of international experts from the International Organization for the Study of Inflammatory Bowel Diseases voted on a series of consensus statements to inform the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The recommendations include avoiding traditional cigarette smoking in patients with Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, screening for symptoms of depression, anxiety, and psychosocial stressors at diagnosis and during flares (with referral to mental health professionals when appropriate), and encouraging regular physical activity as tolerated. Patients using dietary approaches for treatment of their IBD should be encouraged to adopt diets that are best supported by evidence and involve monitoring for the objective resolution of inflammation. We recommend formal assessment for obesity and nutritional deficiencies, and patients should be encouraged to maintain a normal body-mass index. A shared decision-making approach to contraception should include the consideration of IBD-related factors, and risk factors for venous thromboembolism. Long-term or frequent use of high-dose non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs should be avoided. For primary prevention of disease in the offspring of patients with IBD, we recommend avoiding passive exposure to tobacco, using antibiotics judiciously, and considering breastfeeding when able.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF THE REVIEW Physical activity is gaining significative interest in the field of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). In the light of the most recent publications, the present review aims to describe the level of physical activity in adult patients with IBD; describe the current body of evidence on the benefits of physical activity and discuss the challenges and perspectives related to physical activity in this population. RECENT FINDINGS Recent studies showed that IBD patients tend to be less active than healthy people. There is growing evidence of a positive impact of physical activity on mortality, quality of life, fatigue, body composition, strength and physical performance. The direct benefits of physical activity on clinical remission and disease activity have recently been observed only in Crohn's disease. Limitations to physical activity related to the disease, such as gastrointestinal and psychological symptoms, need to be considered in this population. Finally, no guidelines are available and there is no evidence regarding the effects of combined physical activity and nutritional support. SUMMARY Although physical activity seems beneficial and safe for IBD patients, future studies are needed to clearly define recommendations in this population.

Abstract
Background The impact of the body composition on the pathophysiology and clinical course of Crohn's disease (CD) has not been fully elucidated. Aims To reveal the correlations among body composition and long-term outcomes in CD after anti-TNF therapy. Methods Ninety-one patients who received anti-TNF therapy as their first biologic treatment were enrolled. The skeletal muscle index (SMI), visceral and subcutaneous fat area (VFA, SFA), and the ratio of the VFA to SFA (mesenteric fat index; MFI) at the 3rd lumbar level were measured using computed tomography (CT) imaging before the induction. The correlation among the body composition and outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. Results The 5-year cumulative secondary failure- and resection-free rates in patients with a low SMI (39.1% and 64.8%) were significantly lower than those with a high SMI (67.5% and 92.7%; p = 0.0071 and 0.0022, respectively). The 5-year cumulative secondary failure-free rate in the patients with low VF (45.0%) was significantly lower than that in those with high VF (77.6%; p = 0.016), and the 5-year cumulative resection-free rate in patients with a high MFI (68.9%) was significantly lower than that in those with a low MFI (83.0%; p = 0.031). Additionally, patients with low age and BMI had significantly lower cumulative secondary failure- and resection-free rates than those with high age and BMI (low age: 37.4% and 71.2%; high age: 70.7% and 88.9%; p = 0.0083 and 0.027, respectively) (low BMI: 27.2% and 64.8%; high BMI: 68.3% and 87.9%; p = 0.014 and 0.030, respectively), respectively. In the multivariate analyses, a low SMI was the only independent risk factor for secondary failure (hazard ratio [HR] 2.15, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04–4.44), while low age (HR 4.06, 95% CI 1.07–15.4), a low SMI (HR 4.19, 95% CI 1.01–17.3) and high MFI were risk factors for bowel resection (HR 4.31, 95% CI 1.36–13.7). Conclusion The skeletal muscle mass and ratio of visceral to subcutaneous fat were suggested to reflect the long-term clinical outcome and may be helpful as prognostic markers after anti-TNF therapy in CD.

Abstract
Studies exploring the accuracy of equations calculating Resting Energy Expenditure (REE) in patients with Crohn's disease are lacking. The aim of this study was to investigate the accuracy of REE predictive equations against indirect calorimetry in Crohn's disease patients. REE was measured using indirect calorimetry (mREE) after an overnight fasting. Fourteen predictive equations, with and without body composition analysis parameters, were compared with mREE using different body weight approaches. Body composition analysis was performed using dual X-ray absorptiometry. 186 Crohn's disease outpatients (102 males) with mean age 41.3±14.1 years and 37.6% with active disease were evaluated. Mean mREE in the total sample was 1734±443 kcal/day. All equations under-predicted REE and showed moderate correlations with mREE (Pearson's r or Spearman's rho 0.600-0.680 for current weight, all p-values<0.001). Accuracy was low for all equations at the individual level (28-42% and 25-40% for current and adjusted body weight, respectively, 19-33% for equations including body composition parameters). At the group level, accuracy showed wide limits of agreement and proportional biases. Accuracy remained low when sample was studied according to disease activity, sex, body mass index and medication use. All predictive equations underestimated REE and showed low accuracy. Indirect calorimetry remains the best method for estimating REE of patients with Crohn's disease.

Abstract
Background: Bone impairment of multifactorial etiology is a common feature in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Body composition parameters, which might be selectively modified in these patients, are important determinants of bone strength. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between components of body composition and bone parameters in IBD patients. Methods: This is a cross-sectional, retrospective study including 80 IBD patients (43 women, 37 men). Lumbar spine (LS), femoral neck (FN) and whole body DXA scans were performed to analyze regional bone mineral density (BMD), as well as body composition, including appendicular skeletal muscle mass index (ASMI), total and visceral fat mass (VAT). Trabecular bone score (TBS) was assessed using iNsight Software. Results: Twenty (25%) IBD patients had inadequate LS-BMD z scores (<=−2DS). Lean mass (LM) was a significant determinant of LS-BMD, after adjusting for age, gender, BMI and fat mass (p < 0.01), while fat mass% remained associated with FN-BMD (p < 0.01). TBS correlated positively with BMI (r = 0.24, p < 0.05), LS-BMD (r = 0.56, p < 0.001), ASMI (r = 0.34, p < 0.001) and negatively with VAT/total fat% (r = −0.27, p < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that ASMI, LS-BMD (positively) and VAT/total fat% (negatively) were independently associated with TBS. Conclusions: In IBD patients, skeletal muscle mass and fat percentage and distribution are important factors associated with bone health.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with increased risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia. Both malnutrition and sarcopenia negatively impact the clinical course, quality of life, response to therapy, and surgical outcomes in patients with IBD. This review article highlights the importance of nutritional assessment in patients with IBD and also discusses the different nutritional screening and assessment tools, and measures to detect sarcopenia in relation to IBD. Identification of malnutrition and sarcopenia will allow prioritization of the corrective actions, such as nutritional rehabilitation, to improve clinical outcomes. An approach to the evaluation of nutritional status in patients with IBD is also suggested.

Abstract
Background Malnutrition among inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) subjects is well documented in literature and may emerge from factors including inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption and disease activity. The aim of this study was to complete a comprehensive nutrition assessment and explore what possibilities may help bring a better quality of life for IBD subjects. Methods Nutritional status based on biochemical tests, body composition and body mass index (BMI). Food intake was assessed by an alternate 3-day food record and the adequacy of intake was evaluated according to national and international references. Clinical disease activity was evaluated by the Harvey-Bradshaw index and CRP levels. Results The study included 217 patients and 65 controls, where 54.4% of these patients were classified as normal weight with a mean BMI lower than controls (23.8 ± 4.9 versus 26.9 ± 4.8 kg/m2, P = 0.02). Patients with disease activity showed more overweight and obesity than patients with controlled disease. Vitamin B12 deficiency was present in 19% of Crohn’s disease (CD), mainly in patients with ileal commitment and small bowel resections. Anemia was present in 21.7% of patients, being more common in patients with active disease (25%) and bowel resection (23%). Regarding calorie intake (EI), CD group ingested more than controls (1986.3 ± 595.9 kcal versus 1701.8 ± 478.9 kcal; P = 0.003). Conclusions CD patients presented micronutrient deficiency when compared with controls, explained for other reasons than intake restrictions. Also, fat excess might have contributed to disease burden as continuously reported in the literature.

Malnutrition and sarcopenia are prevalent among inflammatory bowel disease patients with clinical remission. Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2021; 33:1367-1375. [PMID: 33470696 DOI: 10.1097/meg.0000000000002044] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 01/02/2023]
Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate nutritional status and sarcopenia in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in clinical remission. METHODS A total of 344 patients with IBD in clinical remission were included in this cross-sectional study. Patients with clinical activity (Harvey-Bradshaw index >5 for Crohn's disease and partial Mayo scores ≥5 for ulcerative colitis) were excluded. Sociodemographic, clinical, and anthropometric data were recorded. BMI was categorized according to WHO criteria. Nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) questionnaire. Body composition included fat-free mass (FFM) analyzed with Tanita-330 ST. Muscle strength was measured with a Takei digital hand grip dynamometer using a standard protocol. Physical performance was measured as 4-m gait speed. Sarcopenia was defined based on the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People 2 criteria. RESULTS Overall, 5.5% of patients were underweight, 9.9% were malnourished, and 39.5% were at risk of malnutrition. Sarcopenia and probable sarcopenia were diagnosed in 41.3% of patients. Total number of flares requiring hospitalization (100%) was the most important predictor of sarcopenia, followed by total number of flares (80.1%), FFMI (46.5%), age (44.6%), BMI (31.8%), MNA score (27.7%), serum creatinine (23.6%), anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha use (23.3%), and gender (17.8%). CONCLUSION In conclusion, our findings revealed a considerable proportion of IBD patients in clinical remission to be malnourished or at risk of malnutrition along with a high rate of sarcopenia. This emphasizes the need for concomitant screening for nutritional status and body composition analysis in patients with IBD for provision of appropriate nutritional support, even during the remission period, and prevention of sarcopenia-related surgical and poor clinical outcomes.

Adults with Crohn's disease exhibit elevated gynoid fat and reduced android fat irrespective of disease relapse or remission. Sci Rep 2021; 11:19258. [PMID: 34584177 PMCID: PMC8479075 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-021-98798-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2021] [Accepted: 09/15/2021] [Indexed: 01/11/2023] Open
Abstract
Crohn’s disease (CD) is a debilitating inflammatory bowel condition of unknown aetiology that is growing in prevalence globally. Large-scale studies have determined associations between female obesity or low body mass index (BMI) with risk of CD at all ages or 8– < 40 years, respectively. For males, low BMI entering adult life is associated with increased incidence of CD or ulcerative colitis up to 40 years later. Body composition analysis has shown that combinations of lean tissue loss and high visceral fat predict poor CD outcomes. Here, we assessed dietary intake, physical activity and whole or regional body composition of patients with CD relapse or remission. This anthropometric approach found people with CD, irrespective of relapse or remission, differed from a large representative healthy population sample in exhibiting elevated gynoid fat and reduced android fat. CD is associated with mesenteric adipose tissue, or “creeping fat”, that envelops affected intestine exclusive of other tissue; that fat is localised to the android region of the body. In this context, CD mesenteric adiposity represents a stark juxtaposition of organ-specific and regional adiposity. Although our study population was relatively small, we suggest tentatively that there is a rationale to refer to Crohn’s disease as a fatty intestine condition, akin to fatty liver conditions. We suggest that our data provide early insight into a subject that potentially warrants further investigation across a larger patient cohort.

[PMID: 34449314 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2021.112076] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 08/13/2021] [Accepted: 08/17/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Infliximab is emerging as the first-line therapy for Crohn's disease (CD); however, the rate of secondary loss of response (SLR) can exceed 50%. This study aimed to construct a nomogram based on bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) indexes and laboratory markers to predict SLR to infliximab in biologically naïve CD patients. METHODS Data of 136 biologically naïve CD patients treated between September 2019 and March 2021 were retrospectively retrieved. BIA-based body composition parameters and laboratory markers were obtained before the infliximab therapy. Predictor selection was conducted using the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and univariate logistic regression. The nomogram was developed using multivariable logistic regression, and internal validation was made by ten-fold cross-validation. RESULTS SLR occurred in 51% of the CD patients during 54 weeks. The nomogram predictors included hemoglobin, albumin, serum iron, and BIA scores. The nomogram showed significant discrimination (area under the curve [AUC], 0.920; 95% confidence interval, 0.873-0.967) and calibration (mean error = 0.012). Decision curve analysis (DCA) indicated that the nomogram provided net clinical benefit when the risk probability was between 2% and 83%. Internal validation assessment of the nomogram robustness found an AUC of 0.904 and an accuracy of 0.841. CONCLUSIONS This BIA-based body composition parameters- and laboratory markers-based novel nomogram could act as a predictive tool to evaluate SLR to infliximab therapy, crucial for optimizing treatment strategies and switching biologics in CD.

Abstract
It is estimated in Western industrialized countries that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has a prevalence of 1 for every 200 inhabitants. In the past, the fat mass disproportionate increase in relation to the fat-free mass was considered uncommon in patients with IBD, due to the observation of the disease being more common with weight loss and malnutrition. However, more in-depth investigations demonstrate that the fat/lean mass disproportion stands out both in prevalence in patients with new diagnoses of ulcerative colitis or Crohn's disease as well as a factor of poor prognosis to the natural evolution of the disease or to the therapeutic response. Another important aspect associated with obesity in IBD is the increased risk of drug clearance [including anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and anti-integrin agents], resulting in short half-life and low trough drug concentrations, since the levels of TNF secreted by adipocytes sequester anti-TNF agents, which could result in suboptimal response to biologics. In view of these characteristic aspects of the inflammatory process of IBD, the identification of cellular functioning is necessary, which can be associated with the staging of the underlying disease, biochemical parameters, and body composition, helping as an indicator for a more accurate clinical and nutritional conduct.

Abstract
Background/Aims Nutritional status influences quality of life among patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), although there is no clear method to evaluate nutritional status in this setting. Therefore, this study examined whether bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) could be used to evaluate the nutritional status of patients with IBD. Methods We retrospectively analyzed data from 139 Korean patients with IBD who were treated between November 2018 and November 2019. Patients were categorized as having active or inactive IBD based on the Harvey-Bradshaw index (a score of ≥5 indicates active Crohn’s disease) and the partial Mayo scoring index (a score of ≥2 indicates active ulcerative colitis). BIA results and serum nutritional markers were analyzed according to disease activity. Results The mean patient age was 45.11±17.71 years. The study included 47 patients with ulcerative colitis and 92 patients with Crohn’s disease. Relative to the group with active disease (n=72), the group with inactive disease (n=67) had significantly higher values for hemoglobin (P<0.001), total protein (P<0.001), and albumin (P<0.001). Furthermore, the group with inactive disease had higher BIA values for body moisture (P=0.047), muscle mass (P=0.046), skeletal muscle mass (P=0.042), body mass index (P=0.027), and mineral content (P=0.034). Moreover, the serum nutritional markers were positively correlated with the BIA results. Conclusions Nutritional markers evaluated using BIA were correlated with serum nutritional markers and inversely correlated with disease activity. Therefore, we suggest that BIA may be a useful tool that can help existing nutritional tests monitor the nutritional status of IBD patients.

Abstract
Background: The inflammatory bowel disease disability index (IBD-DI) was used to access body functional consequences and disease burden. However, Chinese population data are considerably limited. Objective: We aimed to screen for disability in patients with Crohn's disease (CD) and to assess potential associations with clinical parameters as well as indices related to sarcopenia. Methods: This cross-sectional study includes 146 CD patients from Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai, China. All patients were screened for disability and sarcopenia on the basis of the IBD-DI scale, and the criteria for Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia, respectively. Clinical and demographic variables were collected. Results: Approximately 52.05% of the subjects suffered from moderate or severe disabilities. The prevalence of sarcopenia (48.68 vs. 31.43%, P = 0.043), Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment score or PG-SGA≥4 (39.47 vs. 17.14%, P = 0.003), and high-level C- reactive protein (27.63 vs. 11.43%, P = 0.021) were higher in patients with moderate to severe disability than in those without to minimal disability. By multivariate regression modeling, the following were identified as independent factors related to moderate to severe disability: disease activity (OR:10.47, 95% CI: 2.09–52.42) and body mass index (BMI) (OR:4.11, 95% CI: 1.80–9.38). Conclusions: Disability is common in CD patients. Our study showed that moderate to severe disability is not directly associated with muscle mass or muscle quantity but is mostly correlated with disease activity as well as BMI. Thus, close monitoring and follow-up should be conducted on patients who are at high risk of disability, and effective measures should be taken, which may be the best way to prevent disability.

Abstract
The small intestine is key in the digestion and absorption of macro and micronutrients. The large intestine is essential for the absorption of water, to allow adequate defecation, and to harbor intestinal microbiota, for which their nutritional role is as important as it is unknown. This article will describe the causes and consequences of malnutrition in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases, the importance of screening and replacement of micronutrient deficits, and the main indications for enteral and parenteral nutrition in these patients. We will also discuss the causes of short bowel syndrome, a complex entity due to anatomical or functional loss of part of the small bowel, which can cause insufficient absorption of liquid, electrolytes, and nutrients and lead to complex management. Finally, we will review the causes, consequences, and management of malnutrition in patients with malignant and benign digestive tumors, including neuroendocrine tumors (present not only in the intestine but also in the pancreas).

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis predispose patients to malnutrition due to a combination of increased basal metabolic rate, decreased oral intake, and increased nutritional losses and malabsorption. Malnutrition is common, affecting up to 75% of patients with Crohn's disease and 62% of patients with ulcerative colitis, and is associated with worse disease prognosis, higher complication rates, decreased quality of life, and increased mortality risk. It is imperative to screen patients with IBD for malnutrition to assess those at increased risk and treat accordingly to prevent progression and complications. This literature review provides an overall approach to optimizing nutrition in IBD, focusing on the assessment for the diagnosis of malnutrition, management of macro- and micronutrient deficiencies, and identification of areas for future study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have an increased risk of compromised bone mineral density (BMD) and body composition. There are limited data on the physical exercise (PE) habits of patients with childhood-onset IBD and on the associations between PE and BMD and body composition. PATIENTS AND METHODS In total, 72 young adults with childhood-onset IBD and 1341 normative young adult controls answered questionnaires regarding PE [hours/week (h/w)] in the last 12 months. BMD and body composition were measured with dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and presented as age- and gender-adjusted Z-scores for BMD, skeletal muscle index (SMI, the weight of lean mass in arms and legs/m2), and percentage body fat (Fat %). RESULTS A total of 41 (57%) patients with IBD engaged in PE during the previous 12 months, as compared to 913 (68%) of the controls (p = .053). Sedentary patients had significantly lower median BMD, SMI, and Fat % Z-scores than the controls with corresponding PE habits (all p < .05). In contrast, highly active (>4 h/week) patients had total body BMD, SMI, and Fat % in the same range as the controls with corresponding PE levels (p = .151, p = .992, and p = .189, respectively), albeit with lower BMDs in the spine (p = .007) and femoral neck (p = .015). Using multiple regression analyses, a diagnosis of childhood-onset IBD was independently associated with inferior BMD and body composition, regardless of the amount of PE. CONCLUSION Physical exercise is associated with beneficial bone mineral density and body composition in patients with IBD despite the negative effects of the disease.

Abstract
The role of diet and its manipulation in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is gradually acquiring central stage. Certain dietary factors have been identified as putative triggers in IBD as some other factors are found to be protective. The dietary manipulation as part of comprehensive IBD care should be done by the clinician in conjunction with a skilled dietitian. Nutritional deficiencies are common in patients with IBD and can have long-term effects on disease course and quality of life in these patients. So, early identification and correction of these deficiencies along with proper nutritional supplementation should be addressed routinely as a part of IBD management. Oral nutritional supplementation is sufficient for most patients, but in some sick patients, tube feeding may be necessary. Diet needs to be individualized based on the nutritional deficiencies and dietary triggers in a specific patient. Multiple specific diets, with elimination of components that trigger inflammation or addition of components that alter gut microbes in a favorable way, are now appearing as a treatment option in IBD, but more evidence is required before their universal recommendation. Though enteral nutrition (EN) (both exclusive enteral nutrition [EEN] and partial enteral nutrition [PEN]) have proven therapeutic role in pediatric IBD, their uses and role are now expanding in adult IBD patients as well.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Children with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) generally show an alteration in their fat and soft tissue mass contents. These alterations may influence disease severity and increase the risk of post-operative complications. METHODS This is a retrospective cross-sectional study of patients with IBD, diagnosed and followed up between 2013 and 2018, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, who had dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans for bone density evaluation. Obesity was defined based on fat mass index (FMI) and myopenia based on appendicular skeletal muscle mass (SMMa). RESULTS This study incorporated 95 child and adolescent patients (52% female) with IBD: 59 with Crohn's disease (CD) and 36 with ulcerative colitis (UC), mean age 11.8 ± 3.3 years and mean duration of illness 1.8 ± 1.9 years. The most common disease phenotype and behaviour for CD patients were ileocolonic (57.6%) and non-stricturing and non-penetrating (76.3%). Of UC patients, 75% had extensive disease (pancolitis). Body composition profile in the total IBD cohort was classified as normal in 49.5%, obese in 26.3%, myopenic in 23.2% and myopenic-obese in 1.1%. The use of biological therapy was identified as a negative predictor for both obesity (OR = 7.0, 95% CI: 1.3-37.9, P = .02) and myopenia (OR = 0.11, 95% CI:0.02-0.47, P = .003), and female gender was shown to predict myopenia (OR = 3.5, 95% CI: 1.0-11.8, P = .04). CONCLUSIONS Saudi Arabian children with IBD showed comparable body composition profiles to adult patients with IBD. Biological therapy was associated with a decreased incidence of both obesity and myopenia, and female gender was found to predict myopenia.

Abstract
Nutrition has an important impact on inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). In particular, several studies have addressed its role in their pathogenesis, showing how the incidence of IBD significantly increased in recent years. Meanwhile, nutrition should be considered a component of the treatment of the disease, both as a therapy itself, and especially in the perspective of correcting the various nutritional deficiencies shown by these patients. In this perspective, nutritional suggestions are very important even in the most severe forms of IBD, requiring hospitalization or surgical treatment. Although current knowledge about nutrition in IBD is increasing over time, nutritional suggestions are often underestimated by clinicians. This narrative review is an update summary of current knowledge on nutritional suggestions in IBD, in order to address the impact of nutrition on pathogenesis, micro- and macro-nutrients deficiencies (especially in the case of sarcopenia and obesity), as well as in hospitalized patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) may impact the extent to which food, eating, and drinking bring satisfaction and enjoyment to peoples' lives, and this may impact dietary intake. The prevalence of an impaired food-related quality of life (FR-QoL), its associated factors, and its impact on diet have not been explored. OBJECTIVES To measure the prevalence and nature of the burden of impaired FR-QoL in people with IBD, the factors associated with these, and their associations with nutrient intake. METHODS We recruited 1576 outpatients with IBD (≥16 years old) in person from 7 IBD centers across the United Kingdom. Patients completed validated questionnaires to measure their FR-QoL, quality of life (QoL), distress, fatigue, anxiety, and depression. Dietary intake was recorded using the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer FFQ. A health professional recorded disease activity, Montreal classification, blood results, BMI, and malnutrition risk. FR-QoL was regressed onto explanatory variables using univariable and multivariable analyses. RESULTS Data from 1221 patients were available (77.4% response; Crohn's disease, 65%; ulcerative colitis, 35%). The FR-QoL mean (± SD) score was 80.8 ± 26.9, with wide ranges (minimum, 29; maximum, 145). Following multivariable regression, the strongest associations with FR-QoL were the number of recent disease flares (5 flares β = -12.7; P < 0.001), the IBD-specific QoL (β = 0.33; P < 0.001), and IBD-related distress (β = -0.26; P < 0.001). Patients with poorer FR-QoL had lower intakes of fiber (nonstarch polysaccharide; Q1 to Q5 difference = 2.1 g/d; 95% CI: 0.4-3.8; P = 0.048), calcium (192.6 mg/d; 95% CI: 112.5-272.6; P < 0.001), phosphorus (167 mg/d; 95% CI: 58-276; P = 0.041), and magnesium (34.4 mg/d; 95% CI: 9.3-59.4; P = 0.041). CONCLUSIONS Impaired FR-QoL is prevalent in IBD and is associated with recurrent disease flares, a reduced IBD-specific QoL, and greater IBD-related distress. A poorer FR-QoL was associated with lower intakes of key nutrients of importance to IBD, including those relating to gut health and bone mineralization.

Abstract
With the increasing global prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases, research in this field is expanding to better understand the multifactorial etiologies of this complex disease. Nutrition and diet, as modifiable risk factors, have been shown to play an important role in disease activity and prognosis. This article reviews the role of nutrition in inflammatory bowel disease, including appropriate nutrition screening in this at-risk population, and associated micronutrient deficiencies. We provide recommendations on dosing supplementation. We briefly review diet as a risk factor for inflammatory bowel disease and the currently proposed published dietary intervention studies.

Abstract
Malnutrition is a common condition encountered in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and is often associated with sarcopenia (the reduction of muscle mass and strength) which is an ever-growing consideration in chronic diseases. Recent data suggest the prevalence of sarcopenia is 52% and 37% in Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, respectively, however it is challenging to fully appreciate the prevalence of sarcopenia in IBD. Sarcopenia is an important consideration in the management of IBD, including the impact on quality of life, prognostication, and treatment such as surgical interventions, biologics and immunomodulators. There is evolving research in many chronic inflammatory states, such as chronic liver disease and rheumatoid arthritis, whereby interventions have begun to be developed to counteract sarcopenia. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the current literature regarding the impact of sarcopenia in the management of IBD, from mechanistic drivers through to assessment and management.
