Voedingsadvies El MondoResearch Question:
Although many studies the relationship between diet and the risk of getting inflammatory bowel disease or "Inflammatory Bowel Disease" (IBD) examined, there is no systematic overview article known. It was therefore carried out this review article.
Is there a relationship between diet and getting an inflammatory bowel disease?
Study Design:
This overview article contained 18 case-control studies and 1 cohort study, with 2609 patients with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease and 1269 with 1340 with ulcerative colitis) and more than 4000 people without an inflammatory bowel disease (controls).
Results and conclusions:
The researchers found that a high intake of total fat, Pufas, omega-6 fatty acids and meat the chance of getting Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis increased.
The researchers found that a high intake of fiber and fruit the chance of getting Crohn's disease reduced.
The researchers found that a high intake of vegetables reduced the chance of getting of ulcerative colitis.
