Diets that modulate microbiota may influence inflammation and SpA activity. Today, data concerning the impact of diet on SpA activity are scarce. SANUT was a single-center, noninterventional, cohort study that assessed dietetic profiles associated with SpA activity in axSpA. Demographic, clinical, SpA-related, quality of life (QoL), fatigue, physical activity, and dietary data were collected. SpA activity was assessed by Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) and by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). We assessed whether high SpA activity was associated with nutriment consumption. Between 12 February 2018 and 12 February 2020, 278 patients participated. High SpA activity, as measured by ASDAS and BASDAI, was significantly associated with higher body mass index and waist circumference, negative HLA-B27, lower QoL, higher fatigue, and higher digestive-symptom scores. Furthermore, high SpA activity, as measured by BASDAI, was associated with female sex, smoking status, patients who were not actively employed, reduced physical activity, and high intake of ultra-transformed foods, while high SpA activity, as measured by ASDAS, was associated with low intake of omega-3 PUFAs and fiber. Therefore, low intakes of omega-3 PUFAs and fiber, and high intake of ultra-transformed foods, are associated with high SpA activity.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu14224730","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,10]],"date-time":"2022-11-10T02:07:48Z","timestamp":1668046068000},"page":"4730","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Diet and Disease Activity in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis: SpondyloArthritis and NUTrition Study (SANUT)"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0037-8540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pascale","family":"Vergne-Salle","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, University Hospital of Limoges and Laboratory PEIRENE UR 22722 Institut OmegaHealth, 87042 Limoges, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laurence","family":"Salle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Endocrinology Department, University Hospital of Limoges and Inserm U1094, EpiMaCT\u2014Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases in Tropical Zone, 87042 Limoges, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Anne Catherine","family":"Fressinaud-Marie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, University Hospital of Limoges and Laboratory PEIRENE UR 22722 Institut OmegaHealth, 87042 Limoges, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adeline","family":"Descamps-Deplas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, University Hospital of Limoges and Laboratory PEIRENE UR 22722 Institut OmegaHealth, 87042 Limoges, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1151-6630","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fran\u00e7ois","family":"Montestruc","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"eXYSTAT, 92240 Malakoff, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christine","family":"Bonnet","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, University Hospital of Limoges and Laboratory PEIRENE UR 22722 Institut OmegaHealth, 87042 Limoges, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philippe","family":"Bertin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Rheumatology Department, University Hospital of Limoges and Laboratory PEIRENE UR 22722 Institut OmegaHealth, 87042 Limoges, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"129","DOI":"10.1177\/1759720X18773726","article-title":"Ankylosing spondylitis and axial spondyloarthritis: Recent insights and impact of new classification criteria","volume":"10","author":"Proft","year":"2018","journal-title":"Ther.
