A Prospective Study of Long-term Intake of Dietary Fiber and Risk of Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis

TLDR
Based on data from the Nurses' Health Study, long-term intake of dietary fiber, particularly from fruit, is associated with lower risk of Crohn's disease but not UC.

The global burden of IBD: from 2015 to 2025

TL;DR: The goal of this article is to establish the current epidemiology of IBD in the Western world, contrast it with the increase in IBD on health-care systems in newly industrialized countries and forecast the global effects of I BD in 2025.

Epidemiology and risk factors for IBD

TL;DR: Data support an association between smoking and Crohn's disease whereas smoking cessation, but not current smoking, is associated with an increased risk of ulcerative colitis.

Understanding and Preventing the Global Increase of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

TL;DR: This work presents a long-term plan to develop interventions that slow or stop the global increase in the incidence of IBD.

Environmental triggers in IBD: a review of progress and evidence.

TL;DR: Environmental factors add a substantial level of complexity to the understanding of IBD pathogenesis but also promote the fundamental notion that complex diseases such as IBD require complex therapies that go well beyond the current single-agent treatment approach.

Gut Microbiota-Derived Short-Chain Fatty Acids, T Cells, and Inflammation

TL;DR: A mounting body of evidence indicates that the microbial metabolites short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) have profound effects on T cells and directly and indirectly regulate their differentiation.

Linking Long-Term Dietary Patterns with Gut Microbial Enterotypes

TL;DR: Alternative enterotype states are associated with long-term diet, particularly protein and animal fat (Bacteroides) versus carbohydrates (Prevotella) and other enterotypes distinguished primarily by levels of Bacteroide and Prevotella.

Impact of diet in shaping gut microbiota revealed by a comparative study in children from Europe and rural Africa

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the fecal microbiota of European children (EU) and that of children from a rural African village of Burkina Faso (BF), where the diet, high in fiber content, is similar to that of early human settlements at the time of the birth of agriculture.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis genome-wide association scans is undertaken, followed by extensive validation of significant findings, with a combined total of more than 75,000 cases and controls.

Reproducibility and validity of a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire

TL;DR: Data indicate that a simple self-administered dietary questionnaire can provide useful information about individual nutrient intakes over a one-year period.

The impact of diet in shaping gut microbiota revealed by a comparative study in children from Europe and Rural Africa

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that gut microbiota coevolved with the polysaccharide-rich diet of BF individuals, allowing them to maximize energy intake from fibers while also protecting them from inflammations and noninfectious colonic diseases.
