Abstract
BACKGROUND: Chronic pancreatitis (CP) is a progressive, irreversible disease characterized by maldigestion and frequently accompanied by epigastric pain, exocrine insufficiency, and/or endocrine insufficiency. There is limited information about the dietary patterns in CP from which to guide medical nutrition therapy recommendations. METHODS: Study design was a cross-sectional, case-control study comparing subjects with CP (n = 52) to healthy controls (n = 48). Vioscreen™ food frequency questionnaire was used to assess the dietary pattern and nutrient intake in both groups. Dietary quality scores (the Healthy Eating Index, Mediterranean Diet score), and daily energy, macronutrient, and micronutrient intake levels were compared between groups. ANALYSIS: Two sample t tests and Wilcoxon rank sum tests were used to evaluate differences in continuous variables, and Chi-squared tests were used for categorical variables. RESULTS: CP was associated with a lower body mass index (BMI) (24 vs. 31 mg/kg2; p < 0.001), lower HEI (57 vs. 65; p = 0.002), and aMED scores (29 vs. 32; p = 0.043) compared to healthy controls. Subjects with CP in the highest BMI quartile had the highest median aMED score compared to those in the lowest BMI quartile. There were no differences in kilocalories, macronutrients, or fat-soluble vitamin intake between groups, with the exception that vitamin K intake was lower in the CP group. CONCLUSIONS: The overall quality of dietary intake is lower in subjects with CP compared to controls when assessed by two independent nutritional measurement tools. Further research is needed to examine contributing factors, such as food insecurity and coexisting endocrine or exocrine insufficiency, to dietary patterns in patients with CP from which to guide evidence-based recommendations for medical nutritional therapy.
