Background

Measuring food-related quality of life (FRQoL) quantifies the psychosocial impact of eating and drinking.1 The influences on FRQoL in people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are not well explored, despite IBD being a chronic disease affecting the digestive tract. This study aimed to characterise and identify any patient or disease-related predictors of FRQoL in individuals with IBD.

Methods

Adults with a formal diagnosis of IBD were recruited to a prospective multi-centre cross-sectional study between April 2018 and December 2019. Participants completed questionnaires measuring FRQoL (IBD-FRQoL-29: minimum/poor 29, maximum/greatest 145), clinical disease activity (active disease: Harvey Bradshaw Index >4 active disease, Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index >2, restrictive eating behaviour (Nine Item Avoidant/Restrictive Screen: minimum 0, maximum 45), mental health (DASS-21: minimum 0, maximum 126) and other patient and disease-related variables.

Results

One hundred and eight participants completed the questionnaires. The majority of the cohort had UC (69/108, 64%) and there was almost equal distribution of those with quiescent (48%) and active (52%) disease The mean FRQoL of individuals with IBD was 79 (95% CI 75, 84) (see Figure 1). Poorer FRQoL was seen in those with restrictive eating behaviour associated with fear of a negative consequence from eating (p<0.0001) and reduced appetite (p<0.030). Greater FRQoL was seen in those with lower disease activity (p<0.0001) and previous IBD surgery (p=0.240). FRQoL was not influenced either way by IBD phenotype, duration, or gender. The majority of participants obtained their dietary information from the internet (60%) or gastroenterologist (46%).
Figure 1


Conclusion

FRQoL in people with IBD is poorer in those with restrictive eating behaviours and clinically active disease.  Interestingly, it was greater in those with previous IBD surgery. Further research is required to validate these associations and explore longitudinal effects of poor FRQoL on patient outcomes and potential strategies for prevention or management of impaired FRQoL in IBD.
