Abstract

Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), Crohn’s disease (CD), and ulcerative colitis (UC) typically affect people between the ages of 15 and 30, but there is a second smaller peak in the elderly, referred to as elderly‐onset IBD.[1] Typically, patients diagnosed over the age of 60 are referred to as elderly‐onset IBD patients. Recent studies have reported a marked increase in IBD incidence in the elderly.[2] The reasons for this are unclear but likely to include a combination of improved diagnosis, increased life expectancy, and, finally, a more pronounced effect of environmental factors on the risk of IBD in the elderly. For instance, the magnitude of risk for IBD with antibiotic exposure is higher with increasing age.[3]

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
