Fifty patients with inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis, 40; Crohn's disease, seven; indeterminate colitis, three) treated in one gastroenterology unit in Singapore over a 10 year period were reviewed. Clinical features were similar to those described in Western patients. Of the three main races of Singapore it was found that Indians are more susceptible to these diseases than Chinese or Malays. A survey of all gastroenterologists in Singapore indicated a possible prevalence of 8.6 per 100,000 people for ulcerative colitis and 1.3 per 100,000 people for Crohn's disease. These prevalence rates are much lower than those reported for Western populations.
对新加坡某消化内科10年间收治的50例炎症性肠病患者（溃疡性结肠炎40例、克罗恩病7例、未定型结肠炎3例）进行了回顾性研究。其临床特征与西方患者相似。在新加坡的三大主要种族中，发现印度人比华人和马来人更容易患这些疾病。一项针对新加坡所有胃肠病学家的调查显示，溃疡性结肠炎的患病率可能为每10万人8.6例，克罗恩病为每10万人1.3例。这些患病率远低于西方人群的报告数据。
