The growing recognition of the older inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patient is heightened by the entry of the 77.2 million baby boomers who will turn 65 beginning of 2011. It is anticipated that this will occur at a rate of 10,000 per day or 4 million per year for the next 19 years. The management of IBD in this population is complex because of problems with co-morbidities, polypharmacy, impaired mobility, and cognition, as well as difficult social and financial issues. This review focuses on the older IBD patient's unique concerns and provides guidance in their diagnosis and management.
随着 7720 万婴儿潮一代开始在 2011 年步入 65 岁，人们对老年炎症性肠病（IBD）患者的认识日益加深。预计未来 19 年内，每天将有 1 万人或每年有 400 万人达到这一年龄。由于合并症、多药治疗、活动能力受损和认知障碍以及复杂的社会和经济问题，该人群中 IBD 的管理较为复杂。本综述重点关注老年 IBD 患者的独特关注点，并为其诊断和治疗提供指导。
