The Relationship Between Nutritional Status, Micronutrient Deficiency, and Disease Activity in IBD Patients: A Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study.

Background And Aim: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are chronic conditions that affect the gastrointestinal tract. The chronic inflammatory state promotes a catabolic environment that contributes to undernutrition, while mucosal damage often impairs nutrient absorption. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between nutritional status-including micronutrient deficiencies-and clinical as well as laboratoristics disease activity in a cohort of patients with IBD.
