More specifically, central/visceral adipose tissue is a metabolically active compartment with a marked pro-inflammatory pattern and may be a better predictor of IBD risk than overall obesity as determined by BMI.22,26 Moreover, as in IBD, obesity has been associated with intestinal barrier dysfunction, bacterial translocation, loss of intestinal immune homeostasis and dysbiosis, which may also contribute to the development and perpetuation of intestinal inflammation.12,13 Data on the impact of obesity on IBD are conflicting and potentially limited by the use of BMI.12,15,24,27 Overall, in cross-sectional studies obesity has been variably associated with less aggressive IBD phenotypes, with a lower prevalence of penetrating complications, but with a comparable risk of stricture and perianal complications.19,24,27,28 However, other studies show greater treatment requirements, earlier surgical intervention, longer hospitalisations and a higher incidence of perianal complications and colorectal cancer, resulting in a higher utilisation of healthcare resources.13,2934 Central/visceral obesity, specifically, has been associated with an increased risk of penetrating and stricturing complications, a shorter time interval to surgery and an increased risk of postoperative recurrence of CD.35,36 Grade III obesity is specifically associated with an increased risk of persistent inflammatory activity with higher C-reactive protein levels in the absence of inflammation, increased risk of clinical recurrence and poorer quality of life in IBD patients, but does not appear to increase the need for immunomodulators or biologic agents, nor does it appear to increase hospitalisation and surgery rates.16,29 Obesity has been associated with a poorer response to treatment in general
