The age incidence curve of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases follows a bimodal type with a second peak after the age of 60. In some epidemiological studies there is a female predominance in Crohn's disease of the aged. There are no old-age-specific modifications in the clinical course and the complications of the chronic inflammatory bowel disease. Postoperative recurrencies of Crohn's disease may be less common in the older age group. Ischemic bowel diseases and colonic cancer must be considered most often in the differential diagnosis of chronic inflammatory bowel diseases of the aged.
慢性炎症性肠病的年龄发病率曲线呈双峰型，60岁以后出现第二个高峰。在一些流行病学研究中，老年克罗恩病患者以女性居多。慢性炎症性肠病的临床病程和并发症不存在特定于老年的改变。克罗恩病术后复发在老年组可能不太常见。在老年慢性炎症性肠病的鉴别诊断中，最常需考虑缺血性肠病和结肠癌。
