The food intake of 40 male patients with chronic pancreatitis followed up at our center for > or = 10 y were compared with that of 75 healthy control subjects. Patients had significantly lower anthropometric values and serum triacylglycerol and cholesterol concentrations than control subjects (P < 0.001). Subjects with pancreatitis had higher carbohydrate and energy intakes than control subjects but no significant differences were observed in protein, fat, fiber, or cholesterol intakes. The results show that although those with chronic pancreatitis consumed carbohydrates with a more balanced variety of nutrients, they were thinner and had lower serum lipid concentrations, which suggests that they had latent digestion disorders or malabsorption.
