Core Tip	This study addressed the demographic characteristics and clinical phenotypes of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients in Northeastern Brazilian, where living conditions are poor and there is a lack of data on this subject. Over the last two decades, there was a noted increase in the frequency of IBD in the study area, although there was considerable delay in disease diagnosis throughout the study period. There was a predominance of patients with ulcerative colitis, but there was no difference between males and females in terms of disease frequency. Most individuals were aged below 40 years, had miscegenated ethnic characteristics, and received low annual incomes.
