Malnutrition Among Crhon's Disease Patients During Clinical Remission
Keywords:
Crohn, nutritional deficiency, nutritionAbstract
Purpose: People with Crohn's disease are at risk of nutritional deficiency, especially those subject to strict diet. Aim of this study is to study the relationship between malnutrition and Crohn's disease during clinical remission.
Methods: The patients were randomized from the Benghazi Medical Center. The total of the patients was 50 patients with 26 males and 24 females aged from 18 years and over was performed between the January 2017 to April 2017. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect personal information. The questionnaire included socio-economic characteristics, anthropometry, 24hr.recall method to find out whether they are malnourished or not.
Result: approximately 82% of patients had their weight within the normal range, while 8% of their weight was below the normal range among of them approximately 6% represented with men according to the BMI. As for skin fold thickness, it appeared that 36% of patients have ideal fat levels, 26% have lower fat levels, while ,22% have medium fat levels, whereas the rest (14%) have higher fat levels. Regarding the 24-hour recall method shows that most patients had their daily calories at a low rate and the maximum daily calorie consumption was 1115Kcal , while the minimum was 305Kcal.
Conclusion: We conclude that the relationship between Crohn's disease and malnutrition is does not exist based on our study. Our study may lack some laboratory investigations of patients. Future studies will be needed to document the relation between malnutrition and Crohn's disease.
