Core Tip
Core Tip: Effectively managing clinical issues in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients is critical to reducing the risk of long-term disability and facilitating optimal health outcomes. This includes addressing concerns such as decreased bone mineral density, muscle weakness, limited aerobic capacity, and sarcopenia. Customized structured exercise programs should be provided for patients in accordance with their individual needs, considering factors such as joint involvement, frailty, fatigue, and disease activity. Healthcare providers should adopt a multidisciplinary approach to provide personalized exercise recommendations, educate patients, and address misconceptions. This approach improves quality of life, minimizes complications associated with IBD, and enhances treatment success.
