“…Although, mortality due to IBD is not very high, it still presents a major healthcare burden. It damages the patient's quality of life to a considerable extent due to its onset in early adulthood and chronicity (Simian et al ., ). It enhances the risk of colorectal cancer and possibly is also associated with leukaemia and lymphoma (Wheat et al ., ).…”

“…17 As in other studies musculoskeletal manifestations are the most prevalent extra-intestinal manifestations but the percentage of affected patients was higher. 29,30,31 It has been suggested that with the rising of IBD extension the risk of peripheral arthritis increases. 32 Higher incidence of the disease extension correlates with higher musculoskeletal manifestations.…”

BACKGROUND This study was done to define some epidemiological aspects of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and to describe its characteristics in west of Iran. METHODS In this descriptive study all patient with the diagnosis of IBD who were visited in universityaffiliated medical centers, between 2014 and 2015 were recruited. Their demographic characteristics, disease-related manifestations, complications, disease course and their chief complaints were analyzed. RESULTS Of 156 referred individuals, 153 patients had ulcerative colitis (UC) and 3 patients had Crohn’s diseases (CD). The mean age of the patients at diagnosis was 35.69±12.35 (range: 17-80) years with the most common age group of 25-35 years and slight female predominance (51.9%). More urban patients were registered (90.4%) and 57% had high school or upper education. Positive family history of the disease was in 25.6% and 66.6% had four or more family members. Furthermore, 51.9% had left sided colitis and 40.4% had pancolitis with bloody diarrhea (79.5%) and abdominal pain (68.6%) as the most common manifestations. 36.5% had other autoimmune diseases. Multiple flare was seen in 47.4%, most commonly due to drug discontinuation (26.28%). Hospital admission was reported in 34.6%. History of contraceptive pill use was in 38.8% of the female patients. CONCLUSION The demographic and clinical manifestations of IBD are usually the same as other developing countries; however, the rarity of CD is eminent. Although the accurate epidemiological characteristic of IBD in Iran is still obscure, it is not a rare disease as previously thought and it seems that gradual reception of a western lifestyle may be linked to the ongoing rise in IBD.

“…Su incidencia ha ido en aumento en países desarrollados, y estudios en países en vías de desarrollo de Sudamérica, África y Asia han demostrado también un aumento significativo de la EII 2 . Aunque la incidencia y prevalencia en Chile aún es desconocida, un estudio ha sugerido un aumento de estas enfermedades 3 . En las últimas décadas, la EII ha surgido como un desafío de la salud pública, debido al aumento de incidencia, a la afectación principalmente del adulto joven y a los costos de su tratamiento 2,4 .…”

Environmental risk factors in the development and evolution of inflammatory bowel disease Environmental factors may influence the development of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and modify its natural history. The objective of this review is to evaluate current evidence about environmental factors associated with the disease. A better knowledge about the pathogenesis of the disease can lead to better treatment strategies and suggestions to prevent the disease.
