Abstract EN
The inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic inflammatory processes affecting the gastrointestinal tract.
When diagnosed in childhood and adolescence, IBD almost always impacts adversely upon the nutritional state of the patient.
Weight loss and impaired linear growth may be present at diagnosis or subsequently.
Further potential nutritional consequences in childhood IBD include malnutrition, anaemia, osteopaenia, and delayed puberty.
Understanding the nutritional aspects of IBD is paramount in growing children, especially those entering and advancing through puberty.
This paper focuses upon the nutritional impacts of IBD in children and adolescents.
