To evaluate the prevalence, underlying causes, and clinical impacts of malnutrition in Crohn disease while outlining the therapeutic role of nutritional support.
Synthesized clinical observations regarding malnutrition prevalence across active, hospitalized, and outpatient Crohn disease cohorts.
Assessed underlying physiological causes of nutrient depletion, including malabsorption, anorexia, drug-nutrient interactions, and protein-losing enteropathy.
Malnutrition affects approximately 66% to 75% of hospitalized individuals with active disease and 25% of outpatients, persisting even during disease remission.
Nutrient deficiencies directly impair physiological functions including growth, cellular and humoral immunity, bone density maintenance, and wound healing.
