Adiponectin and phase angle in the assessment of sarcopenia in Crohn’s disease: beyond muscle mass (opens in new tab)

IntroductionSarcopenia is a common and clinically relevant complication of Crohn’s disease (CD), reflecting the cross-link among chronic inflammation, malnutrition, and metabolic dysregulation. Adiponectin, an anti-inflammatory adipokine, and phase angle, a marker of cellular integrity, have emerged as potential indicators of muscle health. This study aimed to evaluate the role of anthropometric and inflammation parameters in 150 CD patients.MethodsAnthropometric and bioimpedance parameters i...
