Article Synopsis
- The incidence of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in Northern France was studied over a 30-year period, revealing 22,879 new cases, with Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) making up the majority.
- The incidence rates for both CD and UC increased significantly over the years, particularly in children and young adults, indicating a rising trend in these demographics.
- The findings suggest ongoing environmental factors contributing to the increasing prevalence of IBD, especially among women with UC, with projections indicating that nearly 0.6% of the population will have IBD by 2030.
