The epidemiology and risk factors of inflammatory bowel disease.
This review aimed to summarize the epidemiology (incidence, prevalence and morality) and risk factors of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). IBD is a chronic, relapsing, inflammatory disorder of the gastrointestinal tract and includes Crohn's Disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). IBD has increasing incidence and prevalence in most of countries and becomes a global emerging disease. A westerni...
متن کاملEnvironmental risk factors for inflammatory bowel disease.
Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are chronic immunologically mediated diseases that often have a relapsing-remitting course in young persons. Genetic-risk polymorphisms explain less than one third of the heritability of disease. Epidemiologic and laboratory data suggest that environmental factors play a significant role in influencing the risk and natural history of disease. Smo...
متن کاملInflammatory Bowel Disease: Epidemiology
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is characterized by two partially distinct alimentary disease processes, namely Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), affecting genetically predisposed individuals.

Although the aetiology of IBD is not completely understood, an interaction between genetic and environmental factors has been proposed. In this context, however, environmental epidemiology lacks a comprehensive evaluation of the possible role of occupational exposures in IBD development ...
