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.
炎症性肠病(IBD)是影响胃肠道的慢性炎症过程。儿童期和青春期诊断出的IBD几乎总会对患者的营养状况产生不利影响。诊断时或之后可能出现体重减轻和线性生长受损。儿童IBD的其他潜在营养后果包括营养不良、贫血、骨质减少和青春期延迟。了解IBD的营养方面对成长中的儿童至关重要,尤其是那些进入青春期和正在经历青春期的儿童。本文重点关注IBD对儿童和青少年的营养影响。
