Core Tip	Assessing body composition gives a much better indication of nutritional status than measures of anthropometry, such as BMI. In children with IBD, significant and persistent deficits in lean mass, suggestive of compromised nutritional status, have been reported, both at diagnosis and following treatment. Data pertaining to body composition in response to biologics is lacking, and data concerning growth improvements is controversial. However, evidence suggests that the key components associated with linear growth improvements when treating with biologics are (1) successful clinical response to treatment; (2) patients in early stages of puberty; and (3) the presence of growth failure at the onset of treatment.
