This study examines global intake patterns of eight dietary components linked to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): fruits, non-starchy vegetables, processed meats, unprocessed red meats, dietary fiber, saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and omega-6 fatty acids. Using meta-analysis and data from the Global Dietary Database (1990–2018), intake trends were analyzed across 185 countries by demographics, geography, and education. Processed meat showed the largest global increase (26%), especially in Asia and high-income countries. The study highlights disparities in nutrient intake and their association with rising IBD burden. Findings support targeted dietary interventions in high-risk populations.
