Summary: Malnutrition is a significant issue in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. It is caused by altered digestion and absorption, inadequate food intake, and drug-nutrient interactions. Malnutrition is associated with an increased risk of infections and poor prognosis in patients with IBDs. It is also related to a higher risk of postsurgery complications.

Summary: This study investigated the nutritional status, dietary intake, and dietary diversity of waste pickers in South Africa. The findings revealed that waste pickers had poor nutritional status with monotonous starch-based diets lacking vegetables and fruits. These results reflect their precarious economic status and highlight the need to improve access and affordability of nutritious food.

Summary: Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients often experience malnutrition, undernutrition, or overnutrition during the disease course, which is mainly caused by suboptimal nutritional intake, alterations in nutrient requirements and metabolism, malabsorption, and excessive gastrointestinal losses. Suboptimal nutritional status and low micronutrient serum levels have a negative impact on disease remission, maintenance, and quality of life in Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients. A systematic review of studies evaluating the connection between nutrition and disease course in patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease revealed potential nutritional aspects that can improve symptom control and overall quality of life.

Summary: The etiology of multifactorial morbidities such as undernutrition and anemia in children living with HIV on ART is poorly understood. In this study, both HIV infection and low iron stores were associated with lower height-for-age Z-scores, while HIV infection and sufficient iron stores were associated with higher levels of inflammation markers. HIV+ children with low iron stores had worse nutritional status and higher levels of subclinical inflammation compared to HIV- children.

Summary: This study examined the diet quality of pregnant women with and without inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and the association between dietary intake and pregnancy guidelines. The results showed that pregnant women with IBD had significantly lower intake of zinc, animal protein, and whole grains compared to those without IBD. Additionally, most pregnant women, especially those with IBD, fell short of the recommended dietary nutrient intake during pregnancy.

Summary: In 2015, an estimated 3 million U.S. adults had inflammatory bowel disease, with those affected more likely to take vitamin D supplements and have inadequate dietary fiber intake compared to those without the disease.

Summary: This study found that there is an association between dietary fibre intake and the development of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC). It was observed that higher dietary fibre intake is linked to a reduced risk of IBD and CD, but no significant effect on UC risk.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic evaluation and meta-analysis of the dietary intake of adults with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), revealing that all subgroups of IBD patients have inadequate intake of energy, fiber, folate, and calcium. Additionally, their intake of various food groups is also insufficient, and compared to healthy individuals, IBD patients consume significantly less dietary fiber. Further research is needed to improve diet quality and understand factors influencing dietary intake in IBD.

Summary: Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a group of chronic immune-mediated intestinal diseases associated with the interaction between the immune system and the intestinal microbiome. Nutritional therapy is supported in IBD but not commonly used in clinical practice. This literature review aims to enhance the understanding of diet's impact on IBD, focusing on Crohn's Disease (CD) and Ulcerative Colitis (UC). The contribution of diet to the development and treatment of IBD is significant, with nutritional interventions improving symptoms and inflammation burden.

Summary: Dietary gluten intake was found to have no association with the risk of Crohn's disease (CD) or ulcerative colitis (UC) in a study of 208,280 US participants. These findings provide reassurance amidst increasing concerns about gluten consumption as a trigger for chronic gastrointestinal diseases.

Summary: This study evaluated the utility of albumin, transferrin, and transthyretin levels in assessing nutritional status and activity of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The results found significantly lower albumin levels in IBD patients compared to controls and in Crohn's disease (CD) patients compared to ulcerative colitis (UC) patients. Higher transthyretin levels were found in IBD patients compared to healthy subjects. Albumin levels in IBD patients were associated with disease activity and nutritional status, while further studies are needed to assess the utility of transferrin and transthyretin as markers.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), including ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, is a group of chronic gastrointestinal diseases that primarily affects young people. The prevalence of IBD has been increasing worldwide, including in Poland. The potential impact of nutrition and dietary components on intestinal lesions in IBD is not fully understood. However, the International Organization for the Study of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IOIBD) has developed nutrition guidelines to address the need for dietary recommendations for these patients.

Summary: This is the first systematic review summarizing the evidence on both dietary intake and nutritional status among refugees who have resettled in non-camp settings within host countries worldwide. The study found that refugees remain vulnerable to acute food insecurity, malnutrition, and critically inadequate food and nutrient intake after migration. Comprehensive dietary and health screening, as well as culturally appropriate and sustainable nutrition education resources and interventions, are needed to improve the diet and nutrition of refugees.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, are chronic inflammatory disorders of the digestive tract that are influenced by environmental factors including nutrition. This article reviews the bidirectional link between nutritional factors and IBD, the dietary deficits observed in IBD patients, and the potential nutritional interventions.

Summary: This study combined data from two large birth cohorts to investigate the effects of high protein intake during pregnancy. The results showed a weak association between high protein intake and preterm delivery, but no significant impact on low birth weight or fetal/neonatal death. Very low and very high protein intake levels were associated with increased risks, while moderate intake levels did not have detrimental effects on pregnancy outcomes.

Summary: This study characterized a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing a healthy Nordic diet (HND) to a control diet (CD) using plasma and urine metabolic profiles and associated them with cardiometabolic markers. The results showed that the metaboic profiles of blood and urine were able to distinguish between the two diets and were associated with glucose metabolism and lipoproteins.

Summary: This study compared the macronutrient intake and blood lipid profile of two different population-based cohorts to investigate the impact on 6-year-old children's health. The results showed that a lower intake of saturated and trans fatty acids, replaced by unsaturated fatty acids, may contribute to improved lipid profiles in healthy children.
