Overview
The incidence of Crohn's disease has been ascertained from population studies in Norway and the United States and is similar at 6 to 7.1:100,000. Prevalence estimates for Northern Europe have ranged from 27–48 per 100,000. Crohn's disease tends to present initially in the teens and twenties, with another peak incidence in the fifties to seventies, although the disease can occur at any age. Crohn's disease affects between 400,000 and 600,000 people in North America. Crohn's disease has a bimodal distribution in incidence as a function of age. There is no association with gender, social class or occupation.
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
- Prevalence estimates for Northern Europe have ranged from 27–48 per 100,000.[1]
- Crohn's disease tends to present initially in the teens and twenties, with another peak incidence in the fifties to seventies, although the disease can occur at any age. Crohn's disease affects between 400,000 and 600,000 people in North America.[2]
Incidence
- The incidence of Crohn's disease has been ascertained from population studies in Norway and the United States and is similar at 6 to 7.1:100,000.[3][4]
- Crohn's disease is more common in northern countries, and shows a higher preponderance in northern areas of the same country.[5]
- The incidence of Crohn's disease in North America is 6 per 100,000 population and is similar in Europe, but the incidence rates are lower in Asia and Africa.
Demographics
Age
- Crohn's disease has a bimodal distribution in incidence as a function of age.
- The disease tends to strike people in their teens and twenties, and people in their fifties through seventies. It is rare in early childhood.
- Parents, siblings or children of people with Crohn's disease are 3 to 20 times more likely to develop the disease.[6]
- Twin studies show a concordance of greater than 55% for Crohn's disease.[7]
Gender
- There is no association with gender, social class or occupation.
Race
- Whites and European Jews accounted for the vast majority of the cases in the United States, and in most industrialized countries. [8]
