Overview

A cross-sectional study evaluates malnutrition and sarcopenia prevalence in hospitalized IBD patients, suggesting the need for routine nutritional assessments.

Key Points

This research aims to assess the prevalence of malnutrition and sarcopenia among hospitalized IBD patients and their correlations with disease type and treatment.
Cross-sectional study design including 65 adult IBD patients
Nutritional assessments using NRS-2002, MNA, GLIM criteria, and BIA
Muscle strength evaluated through handgrip test
47.7% of patients at nutritional risk per NRS-2002
72.3% met GLIM criteria for malnutrition
20% of patients affected by sarcopenia with muscle mass reductions between 15.4% and 27.7%
Higher overweight prevalence in UC patients (50% vs 24.3%)
Biological therapy linked to lower prevalence of severe malnutrition (7.7% vs 25.6%)
