| [ Summary ] |
The purpose of life style guidance for Crohn's disease (CD) is to increase the quality of life (QOL) in patients with CD. Furthermore, it has been reported that with psychological measures and the disease activity as a single variable, this composite variable significantly predicted the QOL of CD, but disease activity alone did not predict overall QOL. Improvement of QOL does not require only medical treatment, but psychological. Thus, we provide an outline of whole life style guidance, especially mental care. |
