Assessment of Nutritional Status of Patients With Crohn's Disease
Good nutritional status of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) is associated with better outcome of the disease and better health-related quality of life. The prevalence of malnutrition in patients with Crohn's disease varies and is higher in patients with active disease. Available studies in the literature have assessed the nutritional status of patients with Crohn's disease. However, sample size of available studies is small and highly heterogeneous, and most patients are hospitalized with active disease. The aim of the present study is a thorough assessment of nutritional status of 250 patients either with active Crohn's disease or in remission of the disease using multiple widely available tools and methods, in order to assess their accuracy and estimate the prevalence of multiple malnutrition phenotypes such as undernutrition, sarcopenia, sarcopenic obesity and cachexia as well as overweight and obesity. Finally, the effect of the nutritional status on the course of the disease will be investigated.
