| Core Tip |
The global rise in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has escalated the disease burden and economic impact, with notable differences between Asian and Western populations. Over the next decade, IBD prevalence is estimated to increase in Hong Kong, Japan, and the United States, with varying estimates of incidence, and forecasts by disease subtype, sex, and age group are expected to show distinct patterns across different regions. The study shows the rising burden and distinct patterns these regions are experiencing, thus healthcare systems are advised to develop targeted healthcare strategies to manage the escalating challenges. |
