Background:Anemia is a common complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and contributes to the deterioration of health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Iron deficiency (ID) is a prevalent underlying factor, present in up to 90% of patients. In the absence of anemia, it is unclear as to what extent ID can affect HRQOL in patients with IBD. Our aim was to determine whether ID without anemia negatively affects normal perception of HRQOL in patients with IBD in remission.Methods:We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional study in patients with IBD in remission without anemia. Blood samples were obtained to determine iron status, and patients completed the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire-36. ID was defined on serum ferritin
