Core Tip	Epidemiologic studies have shown a parallel rise in the prevalence of obesity and immune-mediated conditions, including inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). This association may be related to share dietary or environmental exposures that exert their effect through changes in the intestinal microbiota. Several lines of evidence demonstrate that obesity is a pro-inflammatory condition that impacts the incidence, disease course and response to therapy in patients with IBD. Exploring the mechanisms of interaction between obesity and IBD advances our understanding of IBD and opens up a potential role for weight loss and weight maintenance strategies in the management of IBD.
