Aim: Few data are available on the nutritional status of patients with quiescent IBD. The aim of this project was to assess nutritional status and body composition in IBD patients in clinical remission and compare results to those of healthy controls. We hypothesized that IBD patients, even when they are in clinical remission, display abnormalities in respect to their nutritional status and body composition. Methods: Nutritional status (recent weight loss, Body Mass Index (BMI), Subjective Global Assessment (SGA), serum albumin) was assessed in 57 IBD patients (37f/20m; 40±11yrs.; 23,1±3,1kg/m²) and 57 healthy c…
