Background: Malnutrition has emerged as main side effects of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) which might also affect the prognosis of IBD. However, whether these associations are causal remains unclear. We aimed to identify the causality of IBD on malnutrition and explore the causal relationship of malnutrition and nutrients intake on IBD by using Mendelian randomization (MR).

Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with IBD, malnutrition and nutrients intake were obtained from previous researches of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) ( < 0.00000005). MR analysis was conducted to evaluate the causality with different methods based on OR and their 95% CIs. Meanwhile, heterogeneity, pleiotropy and MR-PRESSO were used for instrumental variables evaluation.

Results: The results of MR analysis revealed that IBD, both Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), could directly impact the incidence of malnutrition (-value <0.01). CD is directly related to nutrients such as sugar, fat, VA, VC, VD and zinc, while UC is correlated with carbohydrate, fat, VB12, VC, VD, VE, iron, zinc and magnesium. However, our results suggested that malnutrition could not affect the risk of IBD directly ( > 0.05). Further analysis showed similar results that nutrients intake had no direct effect on IBD, neither CD or UC.

Conclusion: Our results indicated that IBD increases the risk of malnutrition, however, malnutrition and nutrients intake might not directly affect the progression of IBD.

Objective: To describe the economic, lifestyle and nutritional impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on parents, guardians and children in Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

Design: Data from the SEANUTS II cohort were used. Questionnaires, including a COVID-19 questionnaire, were used to study the impact of the pandemic on parents/guardians and their children with respect to work status, household expenditures and children's dietary intake and lifestyle behaviours.

Synergistic Benefits of Dietary Strategies in the Management of IBD.

Curr Gastroenterol Rep

December 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, University of North Carolina, N2198 UNC Hospitals, CB# 7010, Chapel Hill, NC, 27599, USA.

Purpose Of Review: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients commonly inquire about the role of diet in the onset and management of their disease process. This review sought to assess the impact of the inflammatory bowel diseases on the nutritional state of patients and evaluate the evidence supporting nutritional interventions as therapy.

Recent Findings: The role of nutrition has evolved from one of deficient nutrient and calorie replacement alone into a proactive therapeutic for treating active inflammatory disease symptoms.

Enhancing iron and zinc bioavailability in maize () through phytate reduction: the impact of fermentation alone and in combination with soaking and germination.

Front Nutr

December 2024

Division of Food and Pharma, Department of Process and Life Science Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Lund University, Lund, Sweden.

Introduction: Phytates are nutrient-binding compounds found mainly in cereals and legumes, which may significantly contribute to micronutrient malnutrition in regions where phytate-rich cereals, such as maize, are staple food.

Objectives: This study investigated how maize fermentation, both alone and in combination with soaking and germination, can reduce phytate levels and enhance the estimated bioavailability of iron and zinc.

Methods: We evaluated various fermentation methods, including spontaneous fermentation; fermentation with starter cultures, either 299v (Lp299) or yogurt containing viable ; and fermentation with Lp299 of soaked and germinated maize.
