Comprehensive assessment of nutritional and functional status of patients with ulcerative colitis and their impact on quality of life

ConclusionsMacronutrient deficiency, micronutrient deficiency, lower functional status and poorer QOL are highly prevalent among patients with UC. The independent predictors of poor QOL were histologically active disease and low serum vitamin D levels. Identifying and correcting the deficiencies may help in improving the QOL of patients with UC.Graphical Abstract
