“…13,47 In 2005 CD prevalence was reported to be 11.2. 13 2009 48 Although no diagnostic criteria were reported, the latter report supports a likely major increase in IBD prevalence in this country over the last one or two decades. In studies from Singapore, UC and CD prevalence has risen from 6.0 to 8.6, 31,32 and from,1.3 to 7.2, 31-33 respectively.…”

“…In 2005 CD prevalence was reported to be 11.2 13 . A selective report in 19‐year‐old males having a health assessment for military service in Korea identified a striking increase of more than threefold over the period 2006 to 2009 48 Although no diagnostic criteria were reported, the latter report supports a likely major increase in IBD prevalence in this country over the last one or two decades.…”

The incidence and prevalence of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are lower in Asia than in the West. However, across Asia the incidence and prevalence of IBD has increased rapidly over the last two to four decades. These changes may relate to increased contact with the West, westernization of diet, increasing antibiotics use, improved hygiene, vaccinations, or changes in the gut microbiota. Genetic factors also differ between Asians and the Caucasians. In Asia, UC is more prevalent than CD, although CD incidence is rapidly increasing in certain areas. There is a male predominance of CD in Asia, but a trend towards equal sex distribution for UC. IBD is diagnosed at a slightly older age than in the West, and there is rarely a second incidence peak as in the West. A positive family history is much less common than in the West, as are extra-intestinal disease manifestations. There are clear ethnic differences in incidence within countries in Asia, and an increased incidence in IBD in migrants from Asia to the West. Research in Asia, an area of rapidly changing IBD epidemiology, may lead to the discovery of critical etiologic factors that lead to the development of IBD.

“…For example, young people who are recruited for military service are, in general, healthy and basic data on demography, social habits and family history can be recorded. Such a cohort can be followed long-term and this form of approach has been adopted in Korea, which is another low incidence area (23) . Retrospective studies using military cohorts have been used in the USA, but this lacks the rigour of a prospective approach (37) .…”

-Despite intensive research we remain ignorant of the cause of both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The dramatic rise in incidence, particularly of Crohn's disease, points towards environmental factors as playing a significant role. A major purpose of this review is to stimulate a co-ordinated international effort to establish an on-going data base in Central and South America in which new cases are registered and through which investigations into aetiology can be conducted. In both Brazil and Mexico
