Crohn's disease is a disease which is a chronic disease where the inner lining of the intestine or the digestive tract is affected.
Clinical manifestations:
- chronic pain in the abdomen
- diarrhoea
- loss of weight
- anaemia
- fatigue
Incidence:
In Europe the overall incidence rate of Crohn's disease is about 5.6 of n every 100,000 inhabitants .
In India fewer than 1 million cases are reported every year.
In 2015 in United States around 1.3 % of the population was affected by this disease.
In one of the medical article has stated in march 5 2019 that the diagnosis of Crohn's disease has reached up to 3.1 - 14.6 new cases per 100,000 persons/ year.
The predisposing factors of Crohn's disease are:
More common in developed countries.
- helicobacter pylori causes inflammation of the digestive tract
- family size, sibling ship, and the order of the birth also plays a vital role because the less number of members will have less opportunities to acquire the enteric infection.
- urban environment : the children of urban areas have more chance of getting this disease.
- other childhood factors like: upbringing in the urban will have lack of drinking unpasteurised milk or living in the farms which can lead to the development of Crohn's disease.
Other specific factors are:
- smoking
- oral contraceptives intake
- appendectomy
- diet where the more risk is in the people who consumes sweet, fat, sugar, oil and total fat.

Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory bowel disease most often localized to the lower part of the small intestines. It is thought that Crohn’s disease could be an autoimmune disease, because chronic inflammation and activated immune cells are found deep into the intestinal tissue of Crohn’s patients. The chronic inflammation causes the small intestines to swell, which can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, gastrointestinal bleeding, and/or weight loss (due to malnutrition), and if the inflammation is severe enough, the small intestine...
MT is a 45-year-old female who lives alone. She has a history of Crohn’s disease that is relatively well controlled. She is currently in the hospital for the treatment of longstanding anemia.

When she does it, she reports having mostly snack foods such as chips, crackers, and yogurt. She eats very little fruit and...
Discuss at least three similarities and three differences between Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative Colitis.
If prevalence of a disease is proportional to the incidence times the duration of the disease, what will happen to prevalence when the duration of the disease increases? Group of answer choices incidence will be higher than prevalence prevalence will be higher than incidence prevalence and incidence will be equal incidence will first decrease then increase
