Evidence from recent epidemiological data suggests that the patient population with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is chronologically aging. As these individuals become older, cellular senescence leads to a state of chronic inflammation. This process, known as inflammaging, is thought to be closely linked with biological aging and may be upregulated within IBD. As a consequence, we see an increased risk of aging-related disorders within IBD. In addition, we see that frailty, which results from physiologic decline, is increasing in prevalence and is associated with adverse clinical outcomes in IBD. As such, in this review we explore the potential overlapping biology of IBD and aging, discuss the risk of aging-related disorders in IBD, and describe frailty and its relation to clinical outcomes within IBD. Finally, we discuss current considerations for clinical care and potential research avenues for further investigation.
近期流行病学数据表明,炎症性肠病(IBD)患者群体在逐年老龄化。随着这些个体年龄增长,细胞衰老会导致慢性炎症状态。这一过程被称为炎症衰老,被认为与生物衰老密切相关,且在IBD中可能会上调。因此,我们发现IBD患者患与衰老相关疾病的风险增加。此外,我们还发现,由生理机能衰退导致的虚弱在IBD中的患病率正在上升,且与不良临床结局相关。因此,在本综述中,我们探讨了IBD与衰老潜在的重叠生物学机制,讨论了IBD中与衰老相关疾病的风险,并描述了虚弱及其与IBD临床结局的关系。最后,我们讨论了当前临床护理的注意事项以及进一步研究的潜在途径。
