Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed 841 elderly patients (over 60) diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in France between 1988 and 2006, focusing on those with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC).
- The median age at diagnosis was similar for both diseases, and while initial symptoms showed more frequency of colonic disease and inflammation in CD, the long-term complications were relatively low.
- The findings suggest that elderly patients generally have a mild clinical course with IBD, highlighting the need for tailored treatment strategies by physicians.
Objective: Strict lifelong compliance to a gluten-free diet (GFD) minimizes the long-term risk of mortality, especially from lymphoma, in adult celiac disease (CD). Although serum IgA antitransglutaminase (IgA-tTG-ab), like antiendomysium (IgA-EMA) antibodies, are sensitive and specific screening tests for untreated CD, their reliability as predictors of strict compliance to and dietary transgressions from a GFD is not precisely known. We aimed to address this question in consecutively treated adult celiacs.
