Abstract
This prospective observational study compared body composition (BC), physical activity (PA), and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children with IBD to healthy controls and assessed changes during anti-TNF therapy. Crohn's disease (CD) patients showed significant fat-free mass increase and improved PA during the six-month follow-up, while UC patients showed no change in BC. The study suggests that monitoring nutritional status and encouraging physical activity are important in IBD care.
