Description
Jalpa Devi and co-authors describe the MODIFY-IBD initiative in a 2026 protocol, a consensus project on obesity and heart-metabolic conditions in inflammatory bowel disease. Extra weight, high blood pressure, diabetes, fatty liver, and cardiovascular disease are increasingly common in people with bowel inflammation. These conditions affect disease activity, drug response, surgery, and quality of life, yet guidance for their care rests on scattered findings.
The protocol combines three systematic reviews with a structured expert consensus using the RAND/UCLA appropriateness method. The reviews cover how obesity affects bowel disease outcomes, how large the cardiometabolic burden is, and how such conditions should be managed. An international panel of gut specialists, surgeons, hormone and liver experts, cardiologists, and dietitians will rate statements on a 9-point scale. Agreement is judged with a standard disagreement index. The guidance is meant to direct everyday practice and mark where research is most needed.
