Twenty two children, hospitalized at the Department of Pediatrics, Gastroenterology and Nutrition, University Children’s Hospital with no disorders served as controls. Bioimpedance analysis and adipokines concentration were estimated by enzyme – linked immunosorbent assay \(ELISA\) fourfold \(before diagnosis, after completion of the 6\- week exclusive enteral nutrition, at week 20 and at week 52\)., The fourfold at the same points of evaluation as bioimpedance analysis were performed. The same parameters were obtained in the control group once. Results\: At diagnosis of Crohn’s disease the body mass deficiency was observed in 35% patients. In accordance to references values, the fat free mass deficiency was observed in 54% patients \(in 41% of cases with normal BMI\) and fat free mass index deficiency in 74% cases. 69% of study group did not reveal fat mass deficiency. In comparison to the control group, in the study group both fat free mass \(p = 0,032\) and fat mass \(p = 0,005\) were decreased. The phasal angel values were lower than 5 degrees in 65% of children with Crohn’s disease. In comparison to the control group, the average phasal angle values were decreased \(p = 0,003\). In presented study strong correlations between phasal angle and lean tissue mass index \(r = 0,761, p < 0,001\), lean tissue mass \("]
