Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most common extraintestinal manifestations of IBD, which correlates with the disease activity and tendency to relapse even after successful management. Anemia affects various aspects of quality of life, such as physical, cognitive, emotional, and workability, as well as healthcare costs. The anemia in IBD can be due to iron deficiency (ID) or chronic disease. The relative frequency of ID in IBD is 60%, according to some studies, and only 14% receive treatment. The evaluation of ID is also tricky as ferritin, being an inflammatory marker, also rises in chronic inflammatory diseases like IBD. The review of anemia in IBD patients involves other investigations like transferrin saturation and exploration of other nutritional deficiencies to curb the marker asthenia with which these patients often present. It underscores the importance of timely investigation and treatment to prevent long-term sequelae. We can start oral iron therapy in certain circumstances.

This review and perspective examined the multifaceted relationship between the built environment and childhood obesity, offering insights into potential interventions for prevention. Factors such as urbanization, access to unhealthy food options, sedentary behaviors, and socioeconomic disparities are critical contributors to this complex epidemic. Built environment encompasses the human-modified spaces such as homes, schools, workplaces, and urban areas. These settings can influence children's physical activity levels, dietary habits, and overall health. The built environment can be modified to prevent childhood obesity by enhancing active transportation through the development of safe walking and cycling routes, creating accessible and inviting green spaces and play areas, and promoting healthy food environments by regulating fast-food outlet density. School design is another area for intervention, with a focus on integrating outdoor spaces and facilities that promote physical activity and healthy eating. Community engagement and education in reinforcing healthy behaviors is necessary, alongside the potential of technology and innovation in encouraging physical activity among children. Policy and legislative support are crucial for sustaining these efforts.
