Cardiovascular risk profiles in patients with inflammatory bowel disease differ from matched controls from the general population.

Aims: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is associated with an increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). We compared cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and 10-year risk in IBD patients to the general population.

Methods And Results: In this cross-sectional study, consecutive IBD patients ≥45 years were included.
