Nutrition has an important role in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) andmetabolic syndrome (MS). The goal of this study was to assess the nutritive status of patientstreated with IBD and metabolic syndrome in the Gastroenterology Centre, Pauls Stradiòð ClinicalUniversity Hospital. Body bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) using GENIUS 220 PLUS(Jawon Medical) was used to determine Body Mass Index (BMI) kg/m², Metabolic Body Fat (MBF)kg, Soft Lean Mass (SLM) kg, Total Body Water (TBW) kg, body composition, metabolic type,Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) kcal, and total Energy Expenditure (TEE) kcal in patients with IBDand metabolic syndrome and in a similarly aged control group. The obtained data showed thatBMI was not correlated with MBF, BTW and Lean Body Mass (LBM). Patients with Crohn’s disease(CD) had normal value of BMI (M 24.3 kg/m²; F 20.2kg/m²), but we found variety-specific differencesin body composition that confirmed deficiency or increase of specific body parameters.The performed prospective study confirmed the importance of the more precise nutritional statusanalysis, as it was clinically useful for the nutritional management of IBD. Patients with CD hadexpressed nutrient deficiency, sarcopenia, and reduced amount of proteins and minerals. For patientswith MS, sarcopenia was present despite obesity.
