Abstract
Summary of the research findings
Objectives: Children with Crohn's disease may present with malnutrition and linear growth impairment, which can be secondary to insufficient caloric intake, chronic inflammation, malabsorption, and suppression of growth-promoting hormones. We evaluated clinical, serologic, and genetic data to determine risk factors for impaired anthropometrics in Crohn's disease at diagnosis.
637 European ancestry children, 46 African-American children, 29 Asian ancestry children, 60 children
