“…Diet in Crohn's disease provides approximately 1·0 μg/d (95 % CI 0·6, 1·9) ( 35 , 36 ) with the main food sources being oily fish (38 %), followed by eggs (27 %) ( 35 ) . Despite being low, dietary intakes in Crohn's disease are comparable with population intakes ( 29 , 37 , 38 ) . Poor dietary intakes may also be hindered by reduced absorption.…”

Vitamin D deficiency is common among patients with Crohn's disease. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is the best measure of an individual's vitamin D status and current cut-off ranges for sufficiency are debatable. Several factors contribute to vitamin D deficiency in Crohn's disease. These include inadequate exposure to sunlight, inadequate dietary intake, impaired conversion of vitamin D to its active metabolite, increased catabolism, increased excretion and genetic variants in vitamin D hydroxylation and transport. The effects of low 25(OH)D on outcomes other than bone health are understudied in Crohn's disease. The aim of the present review is to discuss the potential roles of vitamin D and the possible levels required to achieve them. Emerging evidence suggests that vitamin D may have roles in innate and adaptive immunity, in the immune-pathogenesis of Crohn's disease, prevention of Crohn's disease-related hospitalisations and surgery, in reducing disease severity and in colon cancer prevention. The present literature appears to suggest that 25(OH)D concentrations of ≥75 nmol/l may be required for non-skeletal effects; however, further research on optimal levels is required.

“…Both studies had similar observation with our result. Similarly, study was made by Bin et al (2010) Body Fat Percentage of normal BMI with normal serum albumin concentration among CD patients (15). Nevertheless, the Donnellan et al (2013) (16) was identified clear risk factors for malnutrition in CD patients, Notably, malnutrition was associated with patients who admitted to hospital and increased length of stay(16).…”

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.
