Disease Activity Is Associated with Obesity in Newly Diagnosed Pediatric Patients with Ulcerative Colitis.

ABSTRACT: Malnutrition and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are interrelated conditions. Our aim was to assess the prevalence of malnutrition, to compare anthropometric parameters in the evaluation of nutritional status in pediatric IBD, and to investigate the association between anthropometric parameters and disease activity indices (AI). Pediatric patients with newly diagnosed IBD recorded between 2010 and 2016 in the Hungarian Pediatric IBD Registry were included in this cross-sectional study. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), weight-for-height, and ideal body weight percent (IBW%) were analyzed. Pearson linear and non-linear correlations and polynomial regression analyses were performed to assess correlation between nutritional status and AI. p-values < 0.05 were considered significant. Ant
