Association of Dietary Fiber, Fruit, and Vegetable Consumption with Risk of Inflammatory Bowel Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Creating more space for fiber-containing foods, such as fruits and vegetables, in our plates may improve our odds of fending off inflammatory bowel disease.

This meta-analysis studied the findings of previously published research works that focused on the association between regular consumption of high-fiber foods, such as fruits and vegetables, and the probability of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Data from 6 studies were utilized for this meta-analysis.

Researchers identified a protective effect exerted by high dietary intake of fruits and vegetables against inflammatory bowel disease and it's subtypes, such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. This meta-analysis affirmed the beneficial role fiber-rich foods play in reducing the risk of inflammatory bowel disease.
