Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is often associated with malnutrition. The aim of this study was to compare the body composition of outpatients with IBD during remission and active phase. In order to evaluate disease activity we used Crohn's Disease Activity Index for Crohn's disease (CD) patients and Lichtiger's Index for ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. All patients underwent the analysis of BMI, arm muscle area (AMA) and triceps plus subscapula skinfold thickness (TST+SST) to identify total, muscle and fat mass, respectively. In total 102 patients were evaluated (CD,n50; UC,n52) and the majority was young women. Malnutrition according to BMI was found in 14·0 % of patients with CD and 5·7 % of UC patients. Muscle mass depletion was detected in more than half of the CD and UC patients. The BMI, TST+SST and AMA values were lower in the active phase only in CD patients (P < 0·05). Fat mass depletion was associated with active phase in both CD and UC patients. Body composition parameters obtained using BMI, TST+SST and AMA were not correlated with the presence of fistula in CD patients (P>0·05). In conclusion, patients without signs of malnutrition had fat mass depletion especially in the active phase and muscle mass depletion occurred both in CD and UC patients.

Abstract Nutrition has an important role in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and metabolic syndrome (MS). The goal of this study was to assess the nutritive status of patients treated with IBD and metabolic syndrome in the Gastroenterology Centre, Pauls Stradiòð Clinical University Hospital. Body bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) using GENIUS 220 PLUS (Jawon Medical) was used to determine Body Mass Index (BMI) kg/m², Metabolic Body Fat (MBF) kg, Soft Lean Mass (SLM) kg, Total Body Water (TBW) kg, body composition, metabolic type, Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) kcal, and total Energy Expenditure (TEE) kcal in patients with IBD and metabolic syndrome and in a similarly aged control group. The obtained data showed that BMI was not correlated with MBF, BTW and Lean Body Mass (LBM). Patients with Crohn’s disease (CD) had normal value of BMI (M 24.3 kg/m²; F 20.2kg/m²), but we found variety-specific differences in body composition that confirmed deficiency or increase of specific body parameters. The performed prospective study confirmed the importance of the more precise nutritional status analysis, as it was clinically useful for the nutritional management of IBD. Patients with CD had expressed nutrient deficiency, sarcopenia, and reduced amount of proteins and minerals. For patients with MS, sarcopenia was present despite obesity.

Abstract Objective To evaluate the effect of remission status on physical activity, and body composition in pediatric patients with inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) and healthy peers. Methods Single center cohort study including 54 PIBD patients and 33 healthy peers. During initial study visit, a brief demographic questionnaire, physical activity questionnaire completed by participants and instructions on recording dietary intake were given. Physicians completed the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) for disease severity. Medical chart abstraction done to obtain disease variables of interest. DEXA scan completed one week later to obtain information on body composition. Variables of interest were compared between the three groups (IBD-Remission, IBD-Active and healthy controls) using an ANOVA or Chi square test as appropriate. Results IBD patients were older than controls, reported lower quality of life (73.9 vs 80.9) and engaged in less MVPA (195.4 versus 361.1). IBD-Active group had a significantly lower lean body mass, bone mineral density and time spent in MVPA compared to IBD-Remission group and healthy controls. IBD-Remission group had a significantly lower percentage of biologic use (55% vs 87%) and comorbidities (26% vs 44%) compared to IBD-active group. IBD-remission group also had a lower fat mass percentage. Discussion In this study, we report significantly favorable LBM, BMD, and time spent in MVPA in patients with IBD in remission compared to those not in remission with the former demonstrating a body composition resembling to that of healthy peers. While an improvement in BMD was observed with remission, the scores were still lower than controls.
