Impact of malnutrition and sarcopenia on quality of life in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: A multicentre study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Malnutrition and subsequent alterations in body composition (BC), particularly sarcopenia, are common but not yet elucidated in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); we aimed to detail the changes in BC and the characteristics of co-occurrence of malnutrition and sarcopenia in IBD patients and to investigate its effect on quality of life.

Methods

This study was a multicentre, prospective, observational study involving four tertiary referral hospitals in China. The following data were collected from consecutive IBD inpatients: demographic information, medical history, recent weight change, handgrip strength (HGS) and BC parameters by bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Nutritional assessments were performed through stepwise screening (Nutritional Risk
