Overview

Observational study investigates dietary impact on disease activity in IBD, indicating no significant link.

Key Points

  • This study aims to explore the link between dietary inflammatory index, body adiposity, and disease activity in inflammatory bowel disease.
  • Conducted an observational, cross-sectional study with 62 patients diagnosed with IBD.
  • Evaluated endoscopic activity using Mayo score, CDEIS, and presence of deep ulcers.
  • Assessed body adiposity through BMI, waist circumference, and waist-hip ratio.
  • Calculated Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII) and Energy Density DII (E-DII) scores from food frequency questionnaires.
  • Of the participants, 58.1% were in remission, and 41.9% had active disease.
  • 69.4% of patients in remission were overweight/obese compared to 50.0% in active disease.
  • Patients in remission had higher waist-hip ratios and greater central obesity.
  • Both groups had a high prevalence of predominantly pro-inflammatory diets, with 58.3% of remission patients in the highest DII tertile.
